Standing six foot tall with a heavily muscled build, Tor cuts an imposing figure. Normally his thick reddish brown hair is kept long and tied back with a leather strap. A close-cropped beard frames his rugged face with piercing deep blue eyes. His prized possession is a full cape of bearskin, complete with the skull which has been fashioned into a helmet. It sits atop his head and fashioned over the shoulders to drape over his back.. His weapons are well made and functional, consisting of a battleaxe, handaxe, dagger, and longbow. Only his longbow is decorated, engraved with running caribou, wolves, and flying eagles. A tuff of wolfskin and a dangling eagle feather hang from the top.

The exiled son of a Hogunmark Thane, Tor has wandered south into the wildlands of the Giantdowns in search of personal honor and fame. Once achieved, Tor plans a triumphant return to his homeland to claim what is rightfully his.
