Egil

In his youth, Egill made sculptures which he attempted to sell on the street. Each came with a story. He was unsuccessful, and one day while walking home, he was beaten and abandoned on the street. Another boy, Odric, found him and nursed him back to health. The two became friends, then, eventually, lovers. It was Odric who taught Egill how to carve magical runes into driftwood. Odric's brother caught them in a compromising situation, leading to a holmgang between Egill and the brother. Egill's father was proud of Egill for standing up for himself in such a manner, and Egill later managed to successfully kill the older boy, restoring his honor. Leif takes Egill When Egill was fifteen, Leif killed his father before his very eyes. Leif took him in as a slave and Egill grew to love his new master. He became a poet and continued to learn the ways of magic over the next ten years of servitude. Egill was an attractive, dark-skinned, slim man with a short beard, brown eyes, and dark brown hair that reached his shoulders. Egill had a knowledge of magic, and could use it to perform subtle but useful tricks. He primarily employed rune magic, carving ancient symbols into driftwood and activating them to fool his enemies. In some cases, he was able to perform greater feats, such as making a knife too hot to hold or blocking a weapon's blow. It wasn't enough to make him an expert fighter, but it was enough to help him save those he cared about. He is also openly gay and a little bisexual. Being sincere, he is also a hedonistic seducer since he always sleeps with different men when he has the opportunity to do so, but all of this is because deep down he feels a deep sadness and pain for his past.
