Auric can't pass up a good sword fight and says he's just young at heart. Some claim he hasn't aged since the 80's...

Half Irish and half Norse, Auric was born in the Viking city of Dublin in the late 11th century. He has traveled extensively throughout Eastern and Western Europe employed by many different warlords and even serving a few years with the Varangian guard in Constantinople (Miklagard, 'The Great Town' as the Rus called it). Auric enjoys fighting with many different styles including sword and shield, spear, bow and two-handed weapons, especially great swords (I know, great swords aren’t particularly Viking, but they are so much fun!).

Having served as a mercenary in Dagorhir since the 80’s, Auric decided to help Güntar form a drot (Norse for warband) with some basis on what is arguably the most recognized and/or notorious warrior culture from the Dark Age. The emphasis, in part being that of historical accuracy (to a certain degree), but more importantly: To capture the unique spirit and mythology of the Vikings themselves.

Time in Dagorhir: 20+ years
Favorite Fighting Style: Red Weapon
