Steigr Thenn

Steigr is the vitriolic Magnar of Thenn. Young heated ambition has long since given out, replaced by a cold and calculating obstinance. Born in 360AC, Steigr often led raids both north and south, though has developed into a stolid leader of the Thenn people.

Appearance and Character
Steigr no longer has the intimidating figure of his youth, but is still wiry and fast. His white-blonde beard is unkempt, and his hair runs wild around his face, kept only in check by a swift knife-cut. The rigours of life beyond the wall have taken their toll, and Steigr's age shows clearly on his face through wrinkles, accompanied on the rest of his body by old wounds. Like his warriors, Steigr wears bronze armor, but he and his best raiders wield steel weapons.

History
Steigr, like all wildling children, had no name until he could speak. Born to the previous Magnar and his wife, Steigr did not seem to excel in his youth, or at least not in what his father desired. His most outstanding attribute was diligence, or stubbornness, and this led to his skills as a warrior and a leader developing over years. Not from talent or inherent ability, but hard work. He relied on his wits to win fights, not his strength, and has come closer than any Magnar before him to fulfilling the role of a Lord like those below the wall.

Steigr never asked any Thenn or other wildling to kneel to him. His clan did so willingly, for he was their Magnar. And his promises kept them sated in victory and supply through the darkest winter nights. Now, Steigr takes it upon himself to send forth from the fortified Valley of Thenn, a seed of old ambitions planted with word of other clans fighting between themselves.

About Steigr
"Some men are hot headed. Some are cool headed. The Magnar...he's something else. You can insult him and get smile, and the next time you attend his table, he'll feed you your own children from his pot. And when you leave after your hearty meal, he'll stab you in the back." - A Thenn Warrior
