Birgir Hrafn

== Birgir Hrafn ==
=== Childhood ===
Birgir Hrafn is a Stormgovan living in the Simulami Empire. He is the son of Ornn Hrafn and Lady Notusa. Birgir is triplets with Janet Sapphire Hrafn and Jacob Seal Hrafn, who were both older than him by only a few seconds. Unfortunately, their mother during childbirth in 21SY. and therefore Ornn had to take care of them on his own. Ornn was by no means an experienced parent, and he was not ready to have children so he looked for an alternative solution.
When Birgir was just a year old, he was sent off to Muviel-Osundir in Convellirae to grow up there in the university of Osundir, the most prestigious university in Simulami. They would be taken care of by the professors at the university with occasional visits from Ornn, Schmaggerd and Itusami, until they would all slowly visit less frequently. 
By the age of 8, Birgir was fluent in Traveler's tounge, Stormgovan, Klobir and was in the process of learning other languages. The field he was most interested in was combat and he would spend hours practicing with swords and shields. 
In the university, there was a hidden library that was unknown to many of the professors, Birgir would dive deep into conspiracy and learn about the hidden side of Stormgova. He would occasionally get letters from his father, who kept him up to date with what happened in his home, but Birgir got jealous of him and truly hated Ornn. One day, a strange man knocked on Birgir's door, it was one of the professors from the university who was known for many scandals and schemes. He knew that Birgir wanted to leave so he offered to teach him how to fight properly. The professor gathered a group of students, then they would sneak into the forest and travel around the world to gain experience. 
One day, the students went into a mine on the outskirts of the time and the professor confessed that he was looking for an ancient Stormgovan weapon which would give him godly powers. The students had mixed reactions to this, some were against him as they knew the power of the scythe, only Birgir supported the professor. There, the children would all die in a "mining accident", leaving only Birgir and the Professor alive. The two of them used this as an opportunity to fake their death and would start searching for the artifact. This made Ornn, Janet and Jaycob believe that Birgir was dead, and therefore they would not look for him
=== Adventures ===

=== Return ===
After finding the weapon, Birgir promised to return it to Stormgova. Many said it was cursed and would slowly take control of the one who wields it, but of course, Birgir didn't believe the myths. He was going to return to Stormgova and help his father, making him the right hand man and future heir to the throne.
When Birgir went to Stormgova, his father was not in town and he would wonder around the island for a few days. The royal house of Stormgova was not even called "Hrafn" they were now a part of a new noble house called "Ludwig" which was embarrassing for Birgir. Why would they leave the old name for a new reputation? He wondered around the town and began to hate everything. The religion he learnt as a child was gone, in it's place was Soleviel, something Birgir saw as lies made up by the Empire to control it's people. Furthermore, his father was the one who started all of this by burning the old temples and books then making it illegal to worship the guardian.
Ornn's heir was not even Janet or Jaycob. He heard some people talking about "The Great Abyss Ludwig" an edgy warrior with a glowing red eye who took too much credit and stole Birgir's right to the throne. Abyss was not even related to Ornn, but he was better than his siblings? 
In that moment, Birgir knew his life's purpose was to remove Soleviel and the Ludwigs from Stormgova and take the place of his father.
Birgir travelled to mainland Simulami in Munio to search for his father. Instead of finding him, he found Luke Ludwig, the heir to the Ludwig throne. He was about to kill him, but got distracted by one of the warriors, who he fought and won against. Luke ran all the way to New Jellhem to warn the Ludwigs in Stormgova, but no one believed him about Birgir's return.
Over the next few days, Birgir would steal from the towns in the area until hopping on a ship to Stormgova. This time, Birgir was going to sneak into the castle, where he found a 2 year old Ludwig called Fwyn Ludwig in his room. He threatened him and began to ready his Scythe, so Fwyn began to cry, after hearing this, Abyss Ludwig ran into the room and threw Birgir out of the window, knowing that he was up to no good.
After that injury, Birgir would swim up the river to the town of Maksalum where he ran into Luke Ludwig once again, who decided to feed him and give him a place to sleep in the church, unaware of Birgir's actions in New Jellhem. Luke went up to New Jellhem on horseback to make sure everything is fine. There, Otto Ludwig joined him in his hunt for Birgir, who already ran from the town. The two of them followed Birgir's trail to the town of Pissevirke, where they would capture him on a bridge about to leave Stormgova.
Birgir had a broken leg and a severe concussion, so the two of them carefully took him back to New Jellhem where he would remain a prisoner. Several members of the Royal house would visit him, including Janet and Jaycob. When Janet Sapphire Ludwig visited Birgir, he was set free out of sympathy.
After the panic, Ornn Ludwig returned to Stormgova and did not believe that Birgir was back, he could have sent out a search party to try capturing him, but instead he chose to just raise the guard and have some members of the Stormgovan Royal Guard to all major events to avoid attacks. 
As expected, Birgir showed up to a Soleviel ceremony in Pissevirke in the Pissevirke Massacre. He used explosives, burst through the wall and killed Dio Loran, a member of the Royal Guard and Fyrtree Pisse, the priest holding the ceremony. They were burried and Birgir was chased off the island by Abyss and Otto and would disapear from the public for many years.
=== Time Away ===
Birgir would travel around Eldham in disguise for several years. There are rumours saying he was busy raiding different towns and banditing, but it is not concrete where he was.
It is known that Birgir raided the town of Samora City at some point, and that in a battle he was injured and lost his vision in his right eye.
People have also reported Birgir talking about having a wife and two children, but no one knows where they are, who they are and if they are even alive.
=== War of Stormgova ===
One day, Birgir was spotted in Carthus and he was talking to Feyd Hrafn. They had a civil conversation where Otto updated him on recent events, which Birgir was pleased to hear: The family name changed back to Hrafn and Ornn quit Soleviel, until jealousy overcame him once again. It should have been him. Birgir should be the one sitting on the Stormgovan throne, his father is nothing but a coward. Eventually, Otto convinced Birgir to go away, but he thought it was because Otto simply didn't want Birgir to be better than him.
After that, Birgir decided to go to Hrafn castle in NewJellhem where he met up with Abyss, who seemed displeased to see him and threatened to kill Birgir. Abyss agreed with Birgir's points that Soleviel is all lies, but due to bad memories, he also wanted him to leave.
Birgir went around and when Ornn returned to Stormgova he ran into his room.
 "Ornn Hrafn, I am at your door, you cannot hide from me no more. You are a disgrace of a father, abandoning all hope in your child just because he doesn't like you? Let. Me. In."
They talked for a while, until as usual, the conversation erupted into argument. Birgir was willing to die for the Stormgovan throne. He gave Ornn a week's warning. He would either have to hand over the throne to him, or die in battle.
