Torvar



Bio:
A great hunter, easily killing game of any size, from the barely visible arctic fox in the snow to a thick-skinned walrus or polar bear, Torvar was once the provider for his clan. And he has retained those skills to this day.
His age is unknown, as his date of birth is unknown; only that it was very cold. His exact place of birth: in the snow. Father Bruni and mother Hild. The family was large, and Torvar always had the opportunity to compete with his brothers... And sisters. Traditions are not so easily discarded; Torvar's sisters continued to learn military craft, even though they knew they would never go to war. Torvar himself hardly doubted that one day he would join Vidal's army or that of his successor and make a name for himself in battles.
Well, often our destiny does not quite match what we predict for ourselves; all of Torvar's plans were thwarted by chance. Already as a young man, he went hunting with his father. The tactic was simple: the father lures a large animal out of its den/pack, Torvar shoots an arrow and wounds it. Then the father takes his two-handed axe and dinner for the large family is ready. But this time things didn't go as planned: a huge white bear turned out to be right behind Torvar when Papa Bruni wasn't around.
The boy was near death, and his parents were terrified. No matter how many children they had, none of them were forgotten; each received special attention and love. A peculiar, barbarian, cold, and strict, but sincere and complete love. And the last thing they wanted was the death of one of their offspring. But they were lucky: a famous and very influential shaman named Goody happened to be temporarily staying in a neighboring village; Bruni and Hild headed there. He looked at Torvar and immediately said that he was willing to heal him, but for a price – honest service from Torvar in the shaman's retinue. There was no choice; the parents gave their consent.
Shaman Goody kept his promise. Torvar was healthier than usual, but he was temporarily in the position of a servant; only after diligent service for five years did Goody allow him to become a bodyguard. Constant training in childhood and its continuation in Goody's service did their job: Torvar instantly became an respected warrior among all guardsmen and the main argument why one should not touch the shaman. But he wanted more, much more... He began to regularly ask Goody to help him get into Vidal's army, but he invariably refused, so they eventually grew to dislike each other greatly. Many things started to irritate Torvar about his jailer; he began to notice some things. How Goody treats servants, arrogantly, haughtily, often beating them or forcing his bodyguards to do it. How he demands huge sums of money for performing his rituals, taking away people's last bread. How he appeals to the gods publicly, but never even remembers them in his own home...
When a man approached Goody, loudly begging him to cure him of a terrible illness, he immediately realized that the sick man had nothing to pay with and ordered him not to be allowed near. But the man shouted and tried to pass through; it was simply impossible to dissuade him. What did Goody do? He ordered Torvar to kill him. And this became the last straw for the warrior, so there was one less shaman named Goody in the White Lands. However, Torvar himself narrowly escaped retribution, but ultimately returned safely to his native village. He saw his father again, his mother (the brothers were scattered throughout the White Lands by that time, and the sisters were all married). He went hunting, bringing the art of archery to perfection: his father could no longer wield an axe as he used to and help him. But after that negative publicity that Torvar created for himself in the White Lands, the path to the army was closed to him, no matter how much the barbarian developed his abilities. However, he already knew what he would do: because after that incident, he saw the worst enemy of people and himself in every mage.
He joined the Order of Watchers.
Character:
Straightforward and open, quick to make decisions and often turns out to be right. No, not due to intellectual ability, but due to some kind of intuition... He is not averse to solving problems with force, but values human life, often ready to stand up for the weak, but at the same time merciless towards enemies. Perhaps very contradictory in this regard, but that's often the case with such warriors.
