Full Name: Ulva Steinarson Nation: Norway (Naturalized American Citizen)


Background: Ulva is old, very old despite being 13th Generation. She was born towards the end of the Viking Age when Scandinavia was already Christianized, but the Old Ways were still being taught in isolated areas where they are still respected, where the tales of gods, goddesses and heroes are retold to each generation. Due to her size and power, Ulva as a true Viking Valkyrie, a warrior equal to any man. It was by the hand of the Old Gods, Ulva ended up in Constantinople as a mercenary, something many Scandinavians did over the centuries. It is here she was Embraced and from here she continue her employment through the centuries as a mercenary.


Reputation: Surprisingly Ulva has very little reputation. As a captain of a mercenary company, she has no desire to buck up the food chain to become a famous mercenary. She does the small things, the grease to keep the wheels turning. She has been involved in big operations, but always doing the small things that need to get done. If she does anything worth noting, she follows the lead, letting someone else break new ground, let them get the glory and the attention, while she gets to make her money.


Mercenary: Ulva will work for anyone who is willing to pay her standard fee plus expenses. She isn't cheap. You want her, you pay her big time. In her history, she has only gone back on her contract one time and she plans not to do it again. Once the contract is signed and witnessed, she works for the contractor. She is loyal to the person, but she expects the same back. No Fore Lone Hope. No idiot plans where Ulva and her people get left delay the enemy. Ulva will find a way to survive and if that means sidestepping the horde of charging war elephants, she will.
