Haren Thorison

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A large, muscular man, with short and wild dirty blonde hair, Haren is a hulking behemoth of a man. His arms and hands are scarred from battle, tanned under the ocean sun. He has a scraggly mess of a beard, the dark blonde giving way to gray across most of it.

Apparel & Accessories

Usually wearing a sea green tartan kilt, with leather pads of armour hanging around the waist like a second kilt. He wears a simple tunic, with a leather straps and bandoliers across his chest, with knifes and explosives attached along them.

Specialized Equipment

Haren carries with him the warhammer 'Forseti Gavel', a weapon that he took from Bjorg Korinson the night he murdered him. A large blued steel weapon, the shaft made from deep, dense mahogany, the head enchanted to make it weigh nothing to the wielder, but be brutally heavy against its victims.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Opposing Eternity

  As a young man Haren found himself clashing with the ideals of a fellow Venkan-Ori Jarl, a man by the name Bjorg Korinson. Haren sought to keep the ways of his ancestors, raiding and pillaging the costal towns, and river cities of the Dragonborn Empires, and other Venkan-Ori communities; a vastly different way of life to that proposed by Korinson. Bjorg sought to unite the Humans of Venka, creating a Venkan-Ori kingdom, that would peacefully coexist with the Dragonborn Empires.   As Clan Eternity and Bjorg gained more support, Haren's resistance only grew, seeking to disrupt any peace talks between Humans and Dragonborn. Small scale assaults of Eternity caravans or ships, until the first major offensive against Clan Eternity.    In 263 DR, Haren sent his son, alongside some of his strongest men, to destroy a caravan being guarded by a few mercenaries hired by Bjorg. Their mission was a success, up until the mercenaries followed the attackers back through the woods into their camp, dispatching of them before heading back to Osomi. Spared the attack of their camp Haren's son, Higgurd Harenson, along with the men he had taken hunting sought revenge on the mercenaries and Clan Eternity. They tore through the city, attacking the feasting hall where Bjorg, his pregnant wife Åse, and their children, Bjorn, Sigurd, Ceneri and Ulf, along with the mercenaries and many of Eternity's people were enjoying a feast. Higgurd and his men were killed by the mercenaries, as they defended the family, with Ase going into labour shortly after.  

Avenging the Son

  When news of his sons death reached Haren, he swore vengeance on Bjorg and his family, and vengence he would have some 6 years later. In the dead of night, 30 ships silently reached Osomi, with Haren's army sweeping through the city, burning the barracks and any inside. Haren took a small group towards the family home where in he killed Åse and Bjorg in their sleep, along with much of Clan Eternity's upper family. The only ones spared the attack were the children, Bjorn, Sigurd, Ulf, Ceneri and Dahl, and the Captain of the Guard, Nova Illierdottir, as they were away on a camping trip, learning to fight and hunt under the supervison of Nova.
