Bio:
Leiknir grew up on his family's large estate in Karthwasten with his younger brother, sister, father, mother, grandmother, and two uncles. Traditionally the Griotgard males serve as high ranking Druzhinas for the local lord, and as a result, Leiknir was trained in mounted combat, small scale troop command, and under the tutelage of his grandmother, the etiquette and ways of nobility.
At the age of 23, family ambition called for Leiknir to travel northward to Markath Side, where he met and befriended Ongar Red Hand. Seeing an opportunity for the expansion of family power, Leiknir's father arranged for him to serve under Ongar and his uncle, where he rose to the rank of (calvary officer?), after fighting under (lord?) Rurik's command in High Rock.
