He has his share of battle scars, including a particularly nasty one running the length of his forearm.Personality:Vordahl is known for his savagery, often foregoing the use of verbal intimidation by brutalizing into submission. Despite the perceived intensity and fury of Vordahl, he is more cunning than he lets on.History:The son of military hero Kjeil Vordahl, Skalis Vordahl trained for battle and a military life from an early age, becoming particularly adept with the glaive. He earned little reknown outside of his size, but found himself under the command of his father early in his career. Skalis was happy with this, having not spent a lot of his youth with his father, who was now teaching him much. A couple years into his service, on a raid against a a group of insurgents, they had managed to capture the majority of them. Before they managed to get out of there, a straggler slid his blade into Kjeil. Skalis watched his father's murder, and immediately killed the culprit, striking two more of the prisoners down before the rest of the troop managed to contain him. After being allowed to serve again, Skalis was changed, the tried and true tactics learned from his father dropped. Instead opting for charging in blind and use of brutality as an intimidation tactic. Many others thought he took too much delight in being on the front line, maiming or killing the criminals they were after, but it was a highly effective scare tactic, seeing this mountain cutting down allies led many to turn themselves in if they saw no opportunity to flee the lands. It was in this that he earned the epitaph of "The Red Glaive"; though Vordahl would clean the blade, he left the pole alone, and over time, the wood was stained red with the blood of his enemies. As Vordahl climbed the ranks, his name bore more weight, and when he was sent in, many who knew him no longer resisted. During a recent raid, Major Korven Lightblade ordered Vordahl to stand guard over a few of the already captured, knowing they would not run, and hoping to lure the others into surrender. Vordahl gave in to his fury, he ran two of the bandits through, the major ordered Vordahl to lay down his weapon, that he would place him under military arrest. Without a second thought, Vordahl's glaive ran across his neck, killing the major, two other soldiers were felled, the rest of the troupe returned to a bloody scene, surrounding Vordahl. Knowing he wouldn't survive the battle, Vordahl surrendered to arrest, and was tried quickly, thrown into Branderscar to await his execution.[/sblock]</blockquote>
