Background:
Raised in a small unnamed coastal raiding village in the north, Ulfrikr was raised as both a sailor and a warrior. Having lived a very mediocre life being neither a spectacular seafarer or warrior Ulfrikr's life was fairly bland, until his village got raided that is. Only a month past his 35th birthday, a large fleet of marauders arrived at Ulf's village port. It did not take long for the locals to see it was not a friendly visit as flaming arrows started to slam into their wooden and thatch homes. As Ulf charged out his front door, axe in hand a large blunt object came slamming against the back of his head, and before he knew what hit him he was out cold.

The next day Ulfrikr awoke to find himself bound face down on the deck of a longboat along with all of the survivors from his village. As he looked up, he saw what appeared to be the raider's leader, a large beast of a man named Hakvirg. Hakvirg was a well known name among the local raiding villages, he was a warlord who broke every tradition, going so far as to pillage and raid formerly allied villages. Ulfrikr's village was merely one of many to be graced by this northern traitor.

Years went on, the men of Ulfrikr's village had all been made slaves, rowing on Hakvirg's longboats and all the woman had all been taken for a far far worse task. Rumors started to spread among the slaves that Hakvirg had some large goal planned, an attempted raid on some large city far to the south, and it did not take too long for that rumor to become reality. A large fleet had been gathered and the warriors outfitted, however there was one fatal flaw Hakvirg refused to acknowledge, the Bitch Queen. Hakvirg refused traditions of their people, and one of those traditions was a blood sacrifice to the Bitch Queen before a trip to sea. A tradition that had been all but halted in the region due to Hakvirg's raids.

At first it seemed that all was well, the voyage had smooth sailing for many days. However, the Bitch Queen did not forget, a week or two into the voyage a massive storm loomed on the horizon and the waters began to surge with rage. It did not take long for the fleet to be wiped out, after all, angering an already angry god is never a smart plan.

The next morning as the sun began to rise, Ulfrikr washed up on the shore of some foreign land to the south. Where he was he did not know, all he did know was the Bitch Queen got her due, or at least, that's what he thought.

Goals:
Ulfrikr seeks to make a name for himself, and to do such he needs a ship. Ultimately his goal is to either build or steal his own ship and put together his own band of marauders.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- Possible plot of finding out Hakvirg lived and extracting his revenge.
- Obtaining a ship by any means necessary
- Eventual raids on villages/pirating other ships
