Mental characteristics
Personal history
The first son of his father Jarl Roryr an Koning and his mother Natalia Tsavola, the Davniak princess. Haakon an Koning embodies certain aspects of both of his prestigious parents, namely a rational mind, social savvy, and a futurist vision of his land and his people. As his parent's first son, Haakon has been positioned from birth to one day ascend and replace his father as Jarl of Húsavík along with all the power and responsibilities that entails. From an early age, Haakon developed a great sense of responsibility and has carried this attitude into his adulthood where he acts as his father's primary diplomat in foreign courts and as a guiding voice back home alongside his mother. Haakon has had an interesting relationship with his more bellicose older sister Irina who contrasts sharply with the rational and prudent Haakon as she has taken the courage and ferocity of her father in his youth. Both siblings reflect aspects of their father, Haakon embodies the later years of their father as with shrewd and attentive diplomacy he catapulted Húsavík into primacy over the other Jarldoms of Iola and became a trendsetter in the region. Irina on the other hand more resembles a young Roryr, headstrong, brave, and as fiery as they come with almost no regard for diplomacy or tact.
Maintaining a constant yet light-hearted rivalry with his older sister, Haakon has spent many days and nights seeking to outdo her in action or undermine her when both are back home at Triermac. Routinely challenging her to contests of ax throwing, and war games, he is also routinely put in his place by his haughty older sister. Irina however, can't hope to match Haakon in wits as none can beat Haakon in cards, in drinking contests, or in rounds of flyting. More recently, Haakon received word of a giant landing on the island of Hindsola, always one to try and one-up his sister, Haakon boarded his longship with his crew and went on a journey to find and slay this giant by any means as a way of proving his own valor and courage. Giants hadn't been seen in southern Iola in centuries and the opportunity to bring one's head back home would go a long way in giving Haakon the respect he has always felt he deserves. Now he sails on, ships and men at his disposal, to perhaps be known not as Hakon an Koning, but Haakon Giantslayer.

Social Aptitude
More reserved than his boisterous and loud older sister, choosing a collection of close friends as his drinking buddies rather than seemingly the company of the whole of Triermac like Irina chooses. Haakon is courteous and respectful in his social engagements, a hallmark of his role as his father's trusted ambassador to various local and abroad Jarldoms and realms. This isn't to say that Haakon is some dour and dull father's boy, he's known to be plenty of fun and a great storyteller during the feasts thrown at Triermac.
Speech
Speaking in the respectful manner of the heir of a Jarl, Haakon can quickly endear himself to the hearts of anyone listening to him by saying heartfelt and truly kind things. When in the presence of his sister, the veneer of civility morphs into an almost childlike giddy at challenging and critiquing her in playful banter that seems seemingly rehearsed by the both of them.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"I still find it odd that someone with as storied a life as mine, so few in years, can still have his blood boil at the sight of his sister enjoying some shouts and claps just for swinging an ax well. So be it, I guess we an Konings can't help but rest under the sun."
