• HISTORY
Growing up, his family and close friends would always call him a leader. Even though that was not entirely true, he enjoyed having that reputation since it felt good to be taken seriously. In fact, Styrr was never born to be a leader. His chaotic ways often made him do the wrong things or make the wrong decisions. He needed someone to lead him and give him clear orders. Someone to guide him and find a better way to use his talents than he ever could. He found that leader in his older brother, Volkan. The two boys were always together. For the outsiders, it seemed like he was in charge over his brother, but it was the other way around. This mistake was often made because Styrr was the loud and obnoxious one, while Volkan stayed in the background and kept quiet more often.
   
The brothers both became viking warriors. In the meantime, Styrr had some issues with following orders from anyone that wasn't his brother, or anyone that had other opinions than him. He is very headstrong and since he had no shame in outing his opinion, he was soon labeled a rebel. When the two now older brothers joined their first raiding party, he disobeyed a command from the hersir. When they got back home, the hersir reported his insubmission to the earl, who then decided to lock him up for a while. Volkan somehow convinced the earl to release him again, to go on another raid, because after all he was still a very skilled warrior and he had earned his stripes in battle. Volkan vowed for him and devoted himself in guiding Styrr through his next raid.
   
But the hersir had grown a dislike towards Styrr, and started testing his patience and obedience during the next few years. Volkan struggled with keeping him calm, but eventually his anger only got worse and he openly stood up against the hersir. The earl was furious, and prohibited him for going on raids ever again. He even sent other warriors to keep an eye on him while he was living in Skagen as just a regular fisherman.
   
Everything changed when Halfdan and Harald attacked Skagen. By then, Styrr was still loyal to his earl, but he didn't fight the usurpers with as much passion as he would attack soldiers when he was still allowed on raids. He kept himself aside, but when he was challenged by a younger shield maiden, he took the challenge head on. He almost won, but then Halfdan joined the battle and he had to yield eventually. He felt no grief or anger towards the usurpers. In the viking law, you obey the strongest warrior, and since Halfdan killed the previous earl, his loyalty shifted towards him.
   
After the coup, his life got a bit easier again. He was more free than before, although he now had to obey orders from Hlíf, the shield maiden he wounded in the battle. But he somehow liked the new structure she brought into his life, and even though he still has a rebelious side, he is loyal to her and to his new earl, Halfdan the Black.
