Roald Amundsen

Explorer of the Arctic and Antarctica

When the explorer comes home victorious, everyone goes out to cheer him. We are all proud of his achievement — proud on behalf of the nation and of humanity. We think it is a new feather in our cap and one we have come by cheaply.

— Roald Amundsen

A famous Norwegian explorer and member of the Hunter's Guild. On his expeditions, he collected a lot of data on meteorological, geographical, zoological and supernatural phenomena. This data was useful in many different research projects across the Western hemisphere. Within the guild, he is considered the foremost expert on mystical phenomena and creatures of the Arctic and Antarctica.

Supernatural Discoveries

During his travels in the coldest reaches of the world, Amundsen and his crews found many curiosities and observed mysterious phenomena. He wrote numerous journals and reports collecting stories and first-hand experiences with these discoveries. Copies of these reports can be found in many places around the world, but the originals are safely stored away in the library of the Hunter's Guild in New York.

Antarctica

Amundsen only made one trip into the south. There he encountered Antarctic Ice Spirits which were brought back from several Antarctica expeditions.

Arctic

The arctic has many different supernatural creatures and myths. Amundsen did not encounter all of these personally but recorded what he heard from other explorers and the natives.

• Tupilaq. Malevolent spirits or souls; can be summoned to destroy one's enemies.
• The Kin'ak is a giant living in the north. Current whereabouts unknown, but believed to still be alive.
• Adlet. A group of humanoid dog-legged people. Encounters with the Adlet have not been recorded since European pioneers and explorers have come to the Arctic. The guild presumes them to either be myths or extinct.
