### Early Life

Lodin was groomed to become chief at a young age by his father, the previous chief. As a boy he bonded with a Monstrous Nightmare Dragon he named Fire Wing and the two soon became inseparable as partners. Eventually the duties of Chief fell to him and around this time he was married and soon enough his daughter, Erika was born.

One day while he and his crew arrived at the Himalayas and there he came across a boy named Doyl, who was around the same age as his daughter who barely survived the avalanche while the rest of his family seemingly did not, refusing to let him stay in an orphanage and brought him back with them to New Berk, going against Viking tradition of keeping outsiders from entering New Berk.

At some point when Erika was a grown young woman he happily accepted her decision of becoming a huntress to explore the world and keeping in touch with her village at times.

### Dragon Sanctuary

He welcomed the huntsmen and their guests to his house to find out about a mercenary named Van Rook had aquired information of the Hidden World from Bertha The Barbarian. But what startled him more was the sudden emergance of the new Thor and the discovery of the monster that lives on the old Berk was in fact the chief Hiccup, decided to follow the plans Erika has thought of atake his mind from the news and throw in a a celebration on his daughter's return.

Recalling the memories of the good times, or antics both the men got into. Little uneasy of the subject his wife was about to talk to her about and welcomed his dragon and a Rumblehorn dragon named Stryker.

## Personality

As chief of New Berk, Lodin carried a great many responsibilities that often kept him from being a father to his little girl, more then he would have liked. While being a father and husband, he had to think of the people as well, even forcing him to leave New Berk on missions of trading with outsiders for food supplies and equipment to ensure their people did not fall behind the rest of the world. However, despite being a chief Lodin can mostly act immature and childish when he would, rather enjoy a good brawl with the villagers, much to his wife and daughter's annoyance.

Due to being a father and having natural empathy for children who suffered the pain of being torn from their parents he refused to leave behind children who were in need even going so far as to willingly break traditions to let one live among them.

As a Viking he is familiar with the Norse legends and myths such as the Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor and was shocked to discover a new wielder of the hammer was chosen.
