A burly Norse warrior in his late 40s, standing tall with a muscular frame honed by years of raiding. His face is weathered, with deep-set blue eyes and a thick, braided red beard streaked with grey. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to his jawline, a testament to past battles.
Frankish Soldier
