Identifying Characteristics

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Aelez was the Veiðimaður (Hunter) of her Witch-Trinity, tasked with protecting the Horn of The Cailleach along with her two sisters, the Volva (Seer) Sveinsína and the Lögsögumaður (Speaker) Edit.
The traitorous Jarl Hauksteinn, rebelled against Queen Malgven, blaming her for the death of his sons at Gandvik. Aided by the Manchais Similherez Grimalkin, he launched an attack on Gullfoss, a diversion to steal the Horn and bring about Malgven's downfall. Sveinsína was killed during the theft, with Edit falling on the black sand beaches of Vik.
Aelez destroyed all but one of Hauksteinn's ships, killing the Jarl and Grimalkin, but failing to secure the horn. Her longship crashed in the Bro Bagan and she set about tracking down the horn over the centuries, banished from her homeland for her failings.
Despondent and bitter, Aelez found herself in Acrasia Beldam's Bower of Bliss, where she struck a deal with the huntress, becoming a Garwaf and Acrasia's new enforcer.

Failures & Embarrassments

The loss of the Horn and the death of her sisters remains a black mark on Aelez's history, barring her from returning home and denying her entry into Valhalla.
