Ketil Svensson

Ketil Svensson is an Valdaermen Mage from Scandinavia during the Dark Ages. He is a member of the cabal at Ulf's Hall.

He is stabbed in the throat and killed by the Nosferatu, Ludwik, disguised as a villager.[1]

Background

Ketil's father was obviously a half-breed, the son of one of the many Northmen who went south to take employ in Constantinople in the Varangian Guard. he left the splendor of the Byzantine courts as a young man to return to the land of his ancestors. Sven took a goat herder's daughter to be his wife, and his boy was born in the midst of a terribly cold winter. Ketil, more so than any of the Valdaermen of Ulf's Hall, has embodied the emptiness of their Fellowship all his life. He is silent and sullen, taking comfort in the timeless treasures of the cray and in the company of the hall's innumerable ravens. The forlorn spirits of the frozen north call out to him and, sometimes, he is tempted to answer, despite the terrible price he knows such a reply would carry. His life an exercise in perpetual melancholy, Ketil understands full well that Ragnarok is not coming; it is already here.

Image

Ketil is tall but quite lean, almost gaunt. His black hair falls in an unkempt tangle, the surest sign of his mixed heritage. Like his father, Ketil is certainly swarthier than is common in these lands, though his haunted look makes him seem paler than he is, a bit ephemeral perhaps. Her pays little heed what he is wearing, though it is most often drab and unadorned. Ketil wears the terrible destiny of the gods like a mantle, and his sad, dark eyes have been known to put fear into even stout-hearted men.
