Her parents, desperate for a change of luck, any luck, gave her a more masculine name than normal and asked the gods for a blessing. Ran the most powerful of the water goddess accepted the offer, but in a way not expected. When Beorn was twelve Hengard went far out to sea fishing. Ran took the chance, taking him to her bosom and drowned him. When Beorn heard of her father’s death, she went into a berzerker rage and nearly killed the village headman.

Ten years later, he was at his prime in the arena and near to buying his freedom when the viking raided Ithica. After fighting the invaders for days, his master betrayed him and attempted to return him to the arean. Another assault by the PCs freed him and his loyalty to the city violated, he joined the invaders.

Handsome in a tall dark and dangerous way. Cunning, clever, strong and rugged makes war an artform. A little grating and unganly though his quick wit makes up for some lapses.
