Skarl Hrolfson

Overview
Skarl is a bard who adventures to make a name for himself and to take part in battles worth writing songs about.

Appearance
Skarl stands just over six feet tall with blue eyes, red hair to his shoulders, and a full beard worn short. The start of a thin scar can be seen above his left eye before disappearing under his hair. His sword is always visible at his side.

History
Skarl was born and raised in Frosthaven. His father began teaching him to fight at a young age, and Skarl thought he would grow up to practice his father's profession until the day Caul Sturluson offered to train the boy as a skald. Hrolf aceepted the offer, thinking it could help his only son to earn great renown, so until the age of 19 Skarl served Caul Sturluson as an apprentice. After finishing his apprenticeship he found work in the employ of a northern merchant, but within a year he got sick of singing the praises of some fat bastard who wouldn't know which end of a spear to stick in the enemy and decided to strike out out on his own as an adventurer. Now fights for whoever pays him(except for the dragon churches, that's not his war, and he has no interest in getting involved) and sings ridiculously exaggerated songs about his own fighting prowess.
