Einar Torson

Einar Torson, son of Torsten and Jorlaug, also known as The Grey Raven, was a legendary Blood Hunter of the Order of the Mutants throughout the late Ninth Millennium. He sought out the Hunter's as an escape from his past, as well as part of a plan to find his father. He survived the wastes of the Jötunnheim during his quest, and quickly became an extremely talented and powerful Hunter. He earned his nickname for creation of an experimental mutagen that allowed him to perfectly mimic the call of a raven to trick the Hrafn Vetrarlássin into flying towards him so he could slay it.

## History

### Early Life

Einar knows next to nothing about his life before he joined the blood hunters as his memory was wiped when he joined the order. He has been able to uncover a few bits of his past however as his father was also a Blood Hunter and told Einer about his birth and how his mother raised him by herself as his father couldn't break his oath. Einar knows that he learnt something that drove him to abandon his family and join the Blood Hunters though his past seems to have a way of catching up with him.

### Joining the Blood Hunters

Einar had to travel far to find a Blood Hunter to bring him to their Fortress to join the order as his father had disappeared on a mission several years prior and Einar had no way to contact other. He knew from his fathers stories of his training that the Blood Hunter fortress was located in the distant mountains of Jotunheim. Einar had to travel far danger dogging his heels desperately attempting to find a place to cross through the realms. After months of searching his strength spent he found a place to cross into Jotunheim. Luck finally turning to his side he was only a few days travel from the fortress though the journey almost killed him.

### Initiation

Einar was taken on by a veteran Blood Hunter named Torleif Blackarm, a Half-Dwarven Man who became his mentor. Einar was given his own room in the Íshöll,

#### Becoming a Hunter

After four years of training, Einar finally felt himself ready to take on the Hunter Trials. In his first trial, he managed to defeat his master Torleif in single combat. In his second trial, Einar was placed in an illusion, where he was forced to fight the reanimated corpses of his families in an illusionary setting, which severely traumatized him. In his third trial, Einar was forced to pull out his eye and cast it down into Yggdrasil as a sign of his undying loyalty to the Blood Hunters. For his fourth quest, Einar took on a great pilgramage back to his home town, to discover who he was. It was at this point in his training when he realized that there was no chance of him becoming the best hunter he possibly could with his memories and desires still intact. (Though he doesn't remember what these desires are).

## Physiology

### Appearance

Einar was a very tall human male, about 6'4" in height. He was fairly slim in build, but very light-footed. His hair was a dark black, and was noted as being very long and "wild", almost like a mane. He had a beard, although it wasn't particularly bushy. His skin was pale, without any major blemishes or freckles. His face was covered in golden runic tattooes, symbols of his dedication to blood hunter order. His eyes were green and slitted in a catlike manner. His right eye was clouded, and covered by a long scar.

## Personality

Most of the time, Einar was described as over serious, cynical and quick to anger. Despite his outwardly cold nature however, Master Blackarm noted that under his exterior was was hiding a fiercely loyal friend, and a man of good humour and as someone not indifferent to suffering. Einar had several good friends and contacts from his time as a hunted, stretched over the Nine Realms. He was also very protective of and loyal to his friends and companions, and was willing to go to great lengths for those who mattered to him. He could be kind-hearted and caring to the people he loved.

Einar was also shown to be extremely adept at allaying intense, and at times bleak, situations and as a man who would much sooner have everyone return home than draw their swords. His lifespan made him a world-weary man, often expressing disdain and circuitous insults to those he considered cruel, foolish, etc.

Despite his upbringing teaching him to be nothing but a ruthless killer, Einar frequently showed remorse and had revelations in his life. Other times he had complete emotional breakdowns, or moments of intense fury, that sometimes culminated in him lashing out at people close to him. Despite his steadfast morals, Einar was conflicted by a need to be the best at everything, something that occasionally came into conflict with his more modest training as a hunter.

## Weapons and Skills

Einar carried a powerful Hellsworn Sword with him at all times, which he kept special attention on, in order to keep clean and sharp. The weapon was faulty, as one of it's runes had failed to be applied properly, which was how he was able to attain it at such a low rank within his Order. He also held two daggers on his belt, alongside a pair of handaxes stashed behind his back. He was known to use a crossbow on occasion, although it is unknown if this was a permanent part of his arsenal, or merely something he was adept at using.

In his posession, he held a **Ring of Djinni Summoning**, which summon a djinni from the Elemental Plane of Air. He also holds a totem of Wonderous Power, which contains a Silver Raven made of energy that he has used once or twice.
