Magnus Smidurson

A man covered in vines, wood and moss wandering through the forests for years on end, slowly finding his was around the island amassing strength and power through the bond formed with a silent spectral bird that sits on his shoulder permanently.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Growing up in a successful portside town on one of the Hasrabal islands he led a relatively uneventful life for his formative years. At the age of eighteen after a particularly bad month he ventured into the forest to forage and hunt for food for his village. There in amongst the trees was one of the most beautiful birds he had ever seen, it was unaware of his presence and he knew he had to make a choice; Kill the bird and stave of hunger for a day more or leave this beautiful creature to live out its days. He chose the former and not long after the storms came and destroyed all hope that the town had for salvation. A local militia formed to fend off attackers and Magnus joined their ranks. There he remained for many years until one day he realised that the people he was working with were not the same as when he started. They were full of rage, provoking attacks rather than preventing them and being hateful towards all outsiders regardless of their nature. He left that day and wandered in the woods near the town. It was there that he saw a ghostly apparition in the shape of the bird he had killed all those years ago. He spoke to the bird, begging for its forgiveness and devoting himself to bringing back the natural order in the land.It did not speak but it remained at his side for the years to come, keeping watch over him and judging his deeds.

Personality Characteristics

Likes & Dislikes

He enjoys being in a natural environment, i.e. the forest but if he spends too long in a settlement he begins to get a bit ansty and longs to be outside exploring and nurturing the wilderness. He won't kill anyone that he believe has done nothing wrong, he dislikes the attitude towards strength that almost all inhabitants of the Hasrabal show.

Sworn to protect the natural world in order to preserve the humans that inhabit the land that he loves. He realised that the way that people live is not sustainable and has decided to become a representation of how people can live in unity with nature.
