Kigatilik is a huge polar bear-like spirit who terrorised the town of Sarsuaq until he was stopped by the Hyperborean brothers, Bo and Jorek.

## History

Kigatilik was summoned in the 10th century by a shaman to help the natives fight back the Norse settlers but when it came time for the tribe to pay his price they balked. All he had asked for was the lives of the tribes children but instead they turned their backs on him. The tribe then sided with their own invaders who bound his spirit into three pieces of a charm that were buried separately with two of their greatest warriors (and one that was left in the hands of the shaman).

After one thousand years he began to stir, after the first piece was recovered he could return to a corporeal form for a short time and he endeavoured to have the pieces united. Gradually corrupting the townfolk through the unwitting preacher until his control was total. His plan was to slaughter the townsfolk- who were mostly the distant relatives of the tribe that had refused him so long ago- and then return to Adlivun.

When the Hyperborean brothers stopped him they chose to keep the charm intact, keeping him bound to the Earth for as long as they can keep it safe. Containing the very powerful entity in the charm prevents him returning to Adlivun to be summoned again by dark sorcerers.

### Nightmares and Beacons

Kigatilik could still influence Bo and Jorek while they carried the bound pieces of the charms. He offered to help Jorek restore his connection with his sword after Calamity Sam shattered through the Swordsoul. Jorek was tempted and was going to accept his help when Aphrodite and Freyja came with their own respective offers.

After this Kigatilik realised they would not accept his help and began stalking the brothers in their dreams, causing both of them to get little sleep. As well as this Kigatilik reached out psychically to all the minds it could find near the brothers who might mean them harm- effectively becoming a beacon to attract their enemies for as long as they hold onto the charm.

In this way Kigatilik was able to bring Skorn the Godhunter, the Lightning Ghost as well as the sorcerous siblings Brother and Sister right to the Stormbloods.

One piece of his totem resides with Horus and the Egyptian Gods, one has been broken and the last has been interred into the vaults of Atlantis with other items King Khoral described as cursed.
