Månssons

That family? Nothing good can come out of associating with them.

— An inhabitant of Urskoga

by midjourney

The Månssons is an old, large and influential family in the town of Urskoga. The family was one of the main parties in the 1881 conflict, and they are still disliked by a medium-sized part of the Urskoga inhabitants.
Many think that the family is cruel and monstrous. Well, most people who think that are thinking of the family's main patriarch. But the other family members are usually painted with the same brush.

History

A man by the name of Måns settled in the area around Urskoga in 1723 together with his wife Karin and four young sons. Both Måns and Karin were bitten and 1 of their children was a born werewolf.
When Urskoga was founded in 1801, only the descendants of two of his sons still lived in the area. These two lines of the family were feuding with a family named Sabel. This feud is still ongoing, but it’s currently a Cold War as the Mediators are keeping an eye on both families.

Structure

Johan Sr., the family patriarch is the oldest living person in the family after his older brother died in 1978. Johan's older brother Herman is the father of Josef who is the father of Melker and Angelica. Melker denounced his place in the family when he was 17 in 2000 and fled to Stockholm for education. He has just returned to Urskoga with a child in tow.
Johan also has a younger sister named Anna, who married a man that already had children that she adopted. Johan does not consider them part of the family. He is also a bit miffed that his granddaughter named her child after his sister. His granddaughter has tried to tell him that the child is named after her mother-in-law, but Johan does not want to listen.
Johan is the father of Eva Sr. and Johan Jr.. These two have children and grandkids of their own that Johan still wants to control.

Johan also has several cousins, some of their kids live in Urskoga, and he expects them to treat him with respect. If they do not, he punishes them.
