Bio:

Finn’s brother is Egil, prone to irrationality and violence. He must make an intelligence check or try to berserk every time there is combat. His nature has caused the death of their younger brother Anuk, and influenced their Grandfather to disown both him and Finn. He loves his brother, but a wedge has been growing between them. Egil and Finn became Vikings for the purpose of pillaging, probably incited by the deaths of their sister, father and mother at the hands of another rival Norse clan. Finn and Egil have been desperate to gain a position in the Viking world and rise out of the Karl class. They concocted a scheme to kidnap the king and hold him for ransom. This was cut short by the Giant raid but certainly should be kept from the group. Finn is near his wits end with Egil.

Genealogy: Finn is the son of Grim a shipbuilder whose father was Olok, an iron smith.
