Kjotverð

Kjotverð Halfdarymsson, also known by his nickname 'Tooth-in-the-Eye' was the Jarl (earl) of the city of Kol Darim, succeeding his father Halfdarym Skolsson (who was given his name because he was half-Darim). 
Kjotverð was a warm and larger-than-life jarl who was well-liked. He enjoyed a good ale and some good sport, but could be stern when needed. He gained his name from when, as a boy of only twelve, he wrestled and killed a polar bear with naught but his bare hands when he was separated from his aunt's hunting party during a storm. He earned a savage scar from the bear's tooth across his left eye, which left the eye milky. But instead of wearing a patch or a glass eye, he proudly displayed his battle scar in true Darim spirit.
He succeeded Jarl Halfdarym in -1844 after the latter fell in battle. During a hunting expedition to find and catch a fabled three-antlered elk, the Jarl Halfdarym and his group were attacked by a Gildegran warband. Halfdarym and his two loyal landgrafir were outnumbered almost 10 to 1, but they managed to beat the warband, with one of his men dying from an axe to the head. However, Halfdarym's wounds were too grave, and his last remaining landgraf, Heithkja the Unbroken, buried her jarl, axe in hand, and returned to bear the news. 
Heithkja continued to serve her new jarl, Kjotverð, and was promoted to the rank of góþir, or 'advisor'. 
Kjotverð had a son, Sigurð Kjotverðsson, born in -1759 DR.
After the Great Raid on Braeknge, Kjotverð became Jarl of the environs of the Rice Bræknge as well as his own kingdom and began to expand the kingdom. 
Some time after the raid, he fell gravely ill with some unknown disease (diagnosed in modern times as pulmonary tuberculosis), which gave him a high fever, weakened his body, and attacked his lungs. 
He died in -1775 to madness caused by incense. 
In history, he came to be known posthumously as Kjotverðestór, a run-on of his posthumous epithet 'Kjotverð the Great' translated into Old Darim as 'Kjotverð denn stór'.
