I just realized Ulfric means "Wolf King", which would be funny if a werewolf dragonborn ended up in some enantiomorphic situation with the Jarl of Windhelm. I started to wonder if this was a sort of "canon" possibility (yeah yeah, i hate that word too). If you think about it, if you did most of the Skyrim quests, you'd be mimicking Potema in many ways.. combined with Ulfric's powergrabs and having an "army of undead" from Dawnguard's Volikhar clan, it's a perfect fit.

Generally speaking though, do names ever mean anything in the series?
