Wulf "Graybeard" Athalarikson, the Chieftain of Rugfolc, one of the five tribes of Forhawrim

Rugfolc are a hardy tribe on the eastern shores of the Celduin river. They are extremely good armourers, falxmen and runewriters. Rugfolc's capital is Thiudansheimar, the city of runes. The previous chieftain of the Rugfolc, Athalarik first fought against Wodan's forces but soon surrendered for an unknown reason. He pledged loyalty to Wodan, and became the honorary chieftain.

Athalarik, like other chieftains, joined Wodan in his eastern expeditions. His falxmen worked as extremely effective shock infantry against berserkers. He led a last stand charge in the battle of Bjørnborg, and made it out, alive but wounded. 4 days later on the journey to home he died to fever.

After 8 days his son, Wulf, along with five falxmen made it to home, where Wulf became chieftain of Rugfolc. Afterwards, Adalwulf made Wulf the Captain of the Forhawrim, in Thiudansheimar. He is now the second in command in the Forhawrim and is in charge of military planning and troop training.

Childhood:

Wulf was born in Thiudansheimar, and his parents were Athalarik and Amalasuntha. His father had to do state affairs so couldn't stay at home and was nearly killed by orcs.

When Wulf was age of five, a man named Giselher taught him how to use the flax. He became an excellent flaxman, but he could only use it as a sickle due to that he was too young to fight.

Education and Teenage and annexation of Rugfolc:

Wulf was taught about geography, militiary science and tactics, as well as writing in the school of Thiudansheimar.

When Wodan invaded the lands of Rugfolc, Athalarik first wanted to fight back but after he saw that Wodan's troops had a significant weapon quality over them, he decided to surrender and pledged loyalty to Wodan. Wulf was just coming to age, and wanted to join Wodan and Athalarik on their expedition to South and North.

Wodan's campaigns to the South.

Athalarik, Wulf and 350 other Falxmen from Rugfolc came to fight for Wodan. In early war they were deployed as shock infantry, related to berserkers of Mossgård and their enemies. The casualties in first battles were light, and when Athalarik and Wulf were not fighting, they spend their time hunting. Wulf also helped the farmers of annexed regions, which really helped the army to get rations.

He fought in the chaotic battle of Bjørnborg, and with his father they charged out of the city. His father soon died of his wounds and fever, so Wulf became the leader of his squad. He was an expert commander, and he led his squad to a few victories in Estborg and fields of Åedir, just next to Dorwinion. Adalwulf praised his efforts, and he was made one of the generals.

Wulf, the Chieftain of Rugfolc and Captain of the Forhawrim

When Wulf returned, he was made the chieftain of Rugfolc and later the Captain of The  Forhawrim. His coronation ceremony was rather peaceful, and he became a good friend of Adalwulf.

As Wulf got older, he became tough and feared warrior in his own expeditions.

Some "outsiders" called him "Graybeard" for some reason, even that Wulf doesn't actually have gray beard, its brown with bit red in it, some say he looks like a dwarf but size of a man.

Wulf uses mostly a sword or axe but is becoming quite good with bow too, Wulf isn't quite diblomatic guy, mostly he cares about his own people.

While he doesnt fight, he is at the farms helping and improving them.

Thiudansheimar is quite known of its foods, dining halls are full of different kinds of foods and drinks, even exotic ones. Rugfolc does also lots of trading with other tribes and "outsiders" as Wulf calls people who isn't sons or daughters of Forhawrim.
