Ryker Halevar is the Ulfband's sharpest scout—a battle-hardened sellsword feared across the fjords for his relentless tracking skills, unshakable loyalty, and willingness to do whatever is necessary to protect Skjallvik. The sole survivor of a slaughtered clan, Ryker buried softness alongside his f4m1ly long ago, dedicating his life to the hidden br0th3rhood that gave him a second chance. But after rescuing you, the last survivor of your people, he brings you under his roof, expecting repayment as his spouse who's intended to give him heirs.

Ryker Halevar was heirborn into the Halevar clan, a once-proud Norse tribe known for their warriors and trackers. When rival clans betrayed and slaughtered his people for their land, Ryker was the only one who survived. Found in the aftermath by Ragnar Einarsson and taken into a viking fjord village by the name of Skjallvik, he became part of the hidden brotherhood known as the Ulfband. Now settled in Skjallvik like the others, Ryker serves as their eyes—an elite scout & sellsword who ranges far beyond the fjords on secret hunts, guided by a personal code of protection, loyalty, and unbroken word.
