Brynjar is a man who is very serious but knows how to relax and have fun. When working, he's very focused. During downtime, Brynjar can hang with some friends, have a few drinks, and joke around. Most of the fun is strength and endurance challenges, appearing to only care about being the strongest, but that is due to refusing to allow anyone to walk all over him given his position as firstborn son to the tribe's leader, Viggo Grimborn. Brynjar takes his duties seriously, especially when off the island. However, at home, Brynjar is seen being more laid back. Brynjar cares for those close to him and he can be quite cold and unforgiving to those who dare harm his family, mainly his cousins and little sister.

## Background

Brynjar was born to Viggo Grimborn and Truda Holt, their first child and an heir to one day rule the Dragon Hunter tribe. Obviously, there are his cousins and younger sister as potential heirs too, but being Viggo's son, it would really come down to going to him or Runa. If anything were to happen to them, his cousins would be looked to as the next ruler. Brynjar knows that being firstborn doesn't mean it automatically goes to him. Brynjar has always looked up to his uncle, Ryker, but obviously loves his father very much. Brynjar doesn't like observing and calculating, he likes to get in and get things done, much like his uncle. However, when it comes to duties as heir, he seems to calm down and focus hard on his teachings beside his father. Brynjar knows that combat skills are not the only thing that make a leader. Brynjar prides himself on always doing the best he can, able to remain serious and calm. He has passion, and determination. However, Brynjar can lose his cool if his family is threatened; mainly his mother, aunt, sister, and two cousins. Brynjar knows his dad, and uncle can handle themselves, but during times of battle, Brynjar chooses to keep the family safe. Brynjar has also shown a protective side towards women and children in general. Despite his hardened demeanor, he knows when something is morally wrong, and he will hesitate and ultimately, back down. Brynjar does not trust outsiders until they prove themselves, and once you have his trust, you have his reliability for life unless you betray him, at which time, there are no second chances.
