Biography

Tracking the Martyrs of Agaunum

Contracted with his brother, Geir was enlisted by Hidden One Fuladh into a group of mercenaries to locate the Martyrs of Agaunum and acquire the case they protected. Both brothers accepted Fuladh offer and were told to meet him at a tavern in Fustat. Upon arrival, they met their other cohorts while Fuladh addressed them and assigned them all the mission about the Martyrs. When Fuladh left a table with a selection of weapons and rations, Geir and Gud jumped for first pick.

After they all prepared, they began to track the Martyrs' route. After a couple of days, they listened to a plan from the young thief Roshan, who planned to ambush them at an incoming mountain passage. She explained that they would attack after Wei, a Chinese bombmaker, dropped his bomb. Geir and his twin waited alongside Roshan, Samoan warrior Nafanua, Welsh mercenary Mared, Roman pirate Dias, and self-proclaimed Christian prophet Francis while Wei, guarded by Persian mercenary Azadeh and her wolf Onyx, waited atop the cliff. Francis was in charge of waving the signal, yet he signaled too early.

Losing teammates

With the bomb misused, Gud, Geir, Dias, and Mared fought the Martyrs until joined by Roshan and Nafanua, who were shocked from the bomb's blast. Despite their best tries, the Martyrs fled with their case while the mercenaries lost Mared, who was used as a body shield by Dias. Nafanua accused of Dias of murder, much to his defiance. However, after Azadeh calmed down tensions between them, they later agreed to go over the mountain and be ahead them by going by the Red Sea to Karachi. After they prepared themselves and treated their injuries, they continued on their trek.

Going over the mountain, Geir and Gud roped each other together with the others in their own groups. Although they climbed successfuly, the descent proved to be dangerous. When Roshan lost her footing, making her group fall. Luckily, both twins saved them. However, when Gud stepped on loose rocks, they fell on top of Wei's head and one knocked Wei out and loose. Although Roshan went to save him, it was too late as Wei lost his grip and fell to his death. Despite Wei's loss, they completed the descent without any issue. While Geir joined the group to the dock nearby, Roshan and Azadeh left to find Wei's body. Later, they all boarded a stolen dhow and then set sail to Karachi.

Death

After sailing across the Red Sea to Karachi, the mercenaries found an inn to rest. Meanwhile, Roshan left to acquire maps, but Gud and Geir left to track her. Although spotted, they managed to trap her in an alley and readied to kill her. While nearly catching and killing her, Roshan escaped by going along the roofs. Both brothers soon saw her and chased her into a harem of a wealthy benefactor. Instantly, the harem's women's screamed and thus the guards surrounded Geir and Gud. When one guard attacked Gud, the Northman broke his neck. Immediately, the twins battled the guards, but the fight left both twins and the guards dead. the
