Elissar/To Save A Kingdom Meet Kalle Sirkesalo, the Meddling Villain from 'To Smite A Fiend' (Spoilers!)

The adventure path To Save a Kingdom comes to Kickstarter next week (click to be notified)! Here I'll take a quick look at one of the villains of the adventure path. If you plan on playing, rather than running, this adventure you should avoid this post!

The adventure path consists of a trilogy of adventures--To Slay A Dragon, To Stake A Vampire, and To Smite A Fiend. Each, as you can guess, features an iconic foe for the heroes to defeat. The second adventure is a horror-themed quest and features an ancient vampire lord who awakens to threaten the realm! Earlier this week we met Cirothe, the mighty dragon who threatens Elissar, and the ancient vampire lord Nemirtvi.

When I hear the name "Kalle" I think of this guy

Is he Fennoswedish? Or maybe a Sweden Finn (one is a member of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, the other of the Finnish-speaking minority in Sweden)?

Kalle is a pretty common Swedish first name (or rather, a common nickname for people named Karl), and Sirkesalo sounds very Finnish.
