A warrior both old AND bold!

Part of his thumb lost in a wood-splitting accident, his real given name is something Half Thumb rarely shares with others. Originally from the shores of Finland, Half Thumb was an oddity in that he hates the cold. He became a warrior to keep moving, and to visit warmer lands. During one of his sojourns, he incurred the anger of a Turkish caliph, and ended up in prison. Grateful to be alive and warm, he nevertheless tried for freedom. Having no success, he was becoming resigned to his status when he noticed a guard through a window in his cell. The man was too light-skinned to be a native, so he called to him. This man was named Auric Windwolf, a Norseman from the Viking city of Dublin. After much dialogue and seeing a kindred form the north, Auric agreed to purchase Half Thumb's freedom. He then released Half Thumb as a free man. Never the less, since then, Half Thumb has always been willing to come running when Auric sends word.

Half Thumb is easily the oldest of the Vardrotta, but far from the most experienced. He fights for the fun, camaraderie and glory. What he lacks in skill he compensates for with enthusiasm and humor.

Alas, on the battlefield, those qualities rarely help much! He used to simply accompany Auric to battle, but the last several years has been participating more and more.
