Ulf
Ulf (died c. 876) was a Viking warrior under the command of Faravid and Halfdan Ragnarsson. Ulf was one of the warriors fighting against the Picts.
Biography
A foot soldier under Faravid's leadership, Ulf seemingly followed orders but grew to have disdain for those who didn't have a direct hand in the battles he fought, especially his Jarl Halfdan.
Ulf first appeared when arguing with Faravid about his need for glory and his desire of his fair share of the spoils from their battles. When the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan arrived, Ulf showed quick judgment of Eivor's relationship with Halfdan and his remarks led to Eivor threathening him. As Faravid dismissed Ulf from their conversation, Ulf disrespectfully spat on the ground, in regards to Eivor's presence.[1]
When Faravid signaled to move out towards the Picts, Ulf remarked along the journey of wanting to stay in Donecaestre instead of fighting. When the Viking warriors soon chased after the Pictish scouts, Ulf shouted out his name and glory for himself aloud. After taking over Stenwege Camp, Ulf, along with Faravid and Eivor, took a share of the Frankish wine. After discussing the fight against the Picts, Eivor left Faravid, but overheard Ulf overtly criticizing Halfdan.[1]
When investigating the death of Halfdan's scout, Olav, Eivor and Halfdan worked through Petuaria Ruins and later saw Ulf with his men. Despite his warm salutations, Ulf was immediately accused for the crimes of betrayal and thievery. Ulf excused Halfdan's findings by stating that Faravid gifted the materials to him and his men. However, with the death of Olav, Ulf admitted his mistake for killing his brother in arms by assuming Olav was a thief. Asking for Eivor's help, Ulf begged her to help Halfdan see reason. Nevertheless, as Eivor made her decision, Ulf's fate was sealed as he died for his apparent actions.[2]
Behind the Scenes
- When deciding Ulf's fate, Eivor's decision may have resulted in the deaths of Ulf with his men by Eivor and Halfdan or the death of Ulf solely by Halfdan's war hammer.
