Björn



=Genral Information=

=Björn's Life=

Björn hails from the frozen mountains of Northrend. He was born in an unknown mountain glen the Vamirs use as shelter during certain seasons. During the age of 6, his family was wiped out, making him the last of his bloodline. Many people believe it was the scourge that did it but the details are unknown. He was later adopted by the legendary warrior named Grimnar Blackmane, Terror of the Frozen Wastes. He taught him how to fight, survive and many other skills needed to survive the frozen wastes of his homeland. He was jokingly named Little Blackmane or Grimnar's Cub due to the almost matched ferocity of his adoptive father at a young age...By the Age of the Warrior, around 18 and upwards, he was subjected to the Ritual of Swords.

=Ritual of Swords=

The Ritual of Swords was a long tradition passed down for ages. The Ritual requires Björn to kneel down before the priest of the Grey Lady, a patron saint of the Light to the Vamir. He was handed a cup and told a saying in Vamir, the exact words are unable to be spoken to those that are not part of the Ritual...but roughly the saying was "See your enemies, son of the Vamir." He took a sip and fell into a trance, the Ritual shows visions of the evil(s) that the Vamir warrior is ordered to vanquish in the name of the Light and the Grey Lady, some believe that the Grey Lady herself shows the warrior who and what he is told to vanquish. As the room disappeared, Björn saw many things...the Scourge, The Burning Legion and so on. He quickly came back to that room filled with smoke and men chanting. He knew what he must do.

=Present Time=

By the age of 25, The Alliance came to Northrend, The Vamir accepted them with open arms, forging a new friendship with them...cementing a place for themselves in the Alliance. Some Vamir believed they were long lost brother from across the sea, they looked exactly alike. In the following years after many battles with the Scourge and other enemies, the Vamir began dwindle. They soon became isolationist, avoiding most contact, hiding and living out peaceful ends. Björn kept a small journal which he writes in, (and still does) on the first page he wrote this. "I had nothing better to do...so I left the village to join in the fight with our newly found brethren. The Vamir were fading, I heard that Grimnar became exiled and was believed to have been killed by the Scourge...nothing was left for me in Northrend except painful memories...so I found myself on a ship heading to Stormwind to start my new life." He passed through the archway of Stormwind Harbor nearly 2 years ago, at the age of 27, he became a Knight among the Knight's of The Red Cross, a order of knights swore to protect the Light and those unable to protect themselves.

=Friends and companions=

Björn's companions are rather odd to most normal humans, he tells stories of a certain bear he once has as a mount or pack anima that was later killed by a roving pack of crazied hunters...which he soon slaughtered in a berserk rage. Apart from the bear-mount he has a small baby penguin that he became attached to right as he left Northrend that is alway with him in a small pack he carries around. He can be normally seen feeding it, and heard cussing as the baby mistakingly takes a hold of his fingers. Björn's personality of friendly, funny and somewhat talkative has earn him a good amount of allies and friends. Seen chatting with fellows knights and other random people he has recently forged a "friendship" or "Random encounters" with a draenei woman named Secheri whose nickname was Cherry...which is a good thing seeing he pretty much butchered her name when he tried to say it.
