Gunnar Nyalsson
Gunnar Nyalsson is an Valdaermen Mage from Scandinavia during the Dark Ages. He is a member of the cabal at Ulf's Hall.
He falls in battle against the Bar Sinister Coterie, making Ludwik fall into torpor and killing Juliote.[1]
Background
From birth, Gunnar seemed destined for great things. The fourth son of a prosperous merchant, he was born with a radiant face and a chubby frame that family and friends just knew would one day be tall, straight and strong. As he grew from an infant into a boy, Gunnar was bright and athletic, earning the envy of some and the admiration of many. His life was one of contentment and plenty. When a plague came to his ton, all of that changed. Gunnar was eleven when his family died, and, rather than seek charity from friends or other relations, he packed up a few meager belongings and set out into the world. At the age of sixteen, he heard the call of the gods. There was no cataclysmic revelation, no great trauma - just a gentle voice in his ear and a feeling of purpose and direction. The fortunate boy had been favored by luck once more. Brand found Gunnar in the woods, not far from the hall, five months ago. He recognized the potential for greatness in the young man and has taken him under his wing. One day soon, Gunnar knows, fate will smile on him once more and Ulf's Hall shall be his.

Gunnar is old enough that the beginnings of a bard are now poking through his ruddy cheeks, but he has a year or two left to go before he stops growing. He already towers over most men and will certainly stand taller than Brand one day. He dresses like a young warrior-prince, in the finest garb the hall has to offer, supplementing it was jewelry and a fine broadsword. Gunnar has an easygoing, friendly manner and is easy t get to know and even easier to like.
