Haghinc (updated 2009/06/06)

Haghinc

Haghinc is a towering barbarian swordsman, toughened by his ordeals and journey far from the cold north. Like his ancestors he is a true berserker. Haghnic has a recently discovered latent magical affinity.

Despite his clan's superstition about written letters, Haghinc's grandmother secretly tought him to read and write when he was little. He has of course kept this secret from his clan. After a particularly nasty battle with a snow ogru, he was laid up in a hermit's hidden ice cave. The man was actually a hedge wizard. Haghinc managed to spy on some of the man's runecraft and was fascinated by it, but due to its rather suspicious nature he has little opportunity to practice and handles the magic clumsily.

Haghinc is clad in furs of wild beasts and rough gray homespun. Around his shoulders is wrapped a warm cloak fashioned from the ivory-colored hide of an Ice Bear. A deerskin quiver of hunting javelins (6) rides on his hip, and in a deerskin sheathe on his back he bears a cold-wrought iron broadsword named Ull-nche, the Silver Icicle.
