Unferth

The lanky youth perched on a barrel in the sunshine of the shore, his hat shaded quick eyes which watched the hustle and bustle of the dock. Smoothly, he glided into the anonymity of the crowd. Some minutes later a rich merchant exclaims in surprise at a missing ring from his finger and a crowd gathers round to help him search the mud for the lost trinket. From up the hill by the Shore gate, the Unferth turns to see the commotion down on the shore. He smiles quickly in amusement as he places a ring upon his finger.
Hroðmund's best friend Unferth lives close by to the Captain's Daughter. Outwardly polite and well dressed many hope he will be a good influence upon Hrothgar and Hilda's son. But Unferth is bewitched by Freawaru who has harnessed his light fingers in adding to her collection.
