Knut
Knut is a retired Urskan warrior who serves as guardian of the sibko in Vilaba, aided by his dog Lennox.
Knut has seen at least 60 winters, and his uneven gait betrays the soreness of dozens of old fighting injuries, causing him to lean heavily on the spear he still uses as a walking stick. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, but his moss green good eye contains a sharpness of aspect that is unexpected in light of his soft expressions and slow speech. More than a few people have discovered that he is still capable of lashing out with the butt of his spear at lightning speed, though he almost never has occasion to use the pointy end these days.
Knut exudes an air of gentle wisdom and unflappable calmness, but any threat to his children will be met with swift and terrible violence. He spends most of his day teaching his kids ways to avoid conflict, and the importance of cooperation and community building in the harsh environment of Scytharia, but also drills the older kids in basic spear forms at the end of every week.
