The son of a reputable shipbuilder, Areld spent his youth among the lowlands south of Mälaren Lake in what would one day become the Baltic coast of Sweden. By the time he reached adulthood, he had grown into a jovial man with a massive, hulking build. Now 35, he is the veteran of a dozen raids to the soft lands in the south, and bears a few scars to prove it. He has not yet been defeated in combat, though, and holds a reputation as a fearsome warrior. He is incredibly superstitious, feeling everything that happens is due to intervention by the gods or evil spirits trying to forces their will upon man.In a band of Geats, Areld will probably be the most veteran of the warriors, but he is no leader. He prefers to be directed, fighting all foes with his long-hafted axe, thick black beard and shaggy mane of hair wildly flaying about. His prized possession is a coat of mail which he cleans nightly to avoid rust.The most important figure in Areld's life is his father Ultaer, who made the very ship they travel on. He is now in the last years of his life, but still holds a position of honor with Beowulf and the rest of the Geats. His younger brother, Gret, has taken over the shipbuilding at this point, but Ultaer still oversees the work and commands much respect.I'm not sure how skills/attributes work, but I'm thinking a warrior with high strength and stamina, not too clever and fast to jump to conclusions. He knows ships and the sea very well, having spent his childhood helping his father and traveling on them for years.edit: speeling</blockquote>
