Thrand
Sobriquet: Jarl of Jórvík
Appearance: Even accounting for the growth of tales told over time, Thrand must have been a mountain of a man. All the tales point to his standing a head and shoulders above his own men and the Saxon population of York equally. Baron John's grudging recollections paint a romantic picture of a musclebound Scandinavian giant with the face of an angry god and a mane of dark auburn hair to his waist. According to John he always wore a hauberk of steel chain over a simple jerkin of oiled oxhide and never bothered to adapt to the local Saxon fashions. Regardless of the circumstances, Thrand always kept his great-axe and a bejeweled shield within easy reach and never failed to use both regularly.
