Lohengrin Blátǫnn of Kassau

Lohengrin Blátǫnn of Kassau (GOR)

Son of Storms | Blood of the Blue-Tooth Line | Jarl of Kassau

Origins

Born beneath a winter eclipse in the northern port of Kassau, Lohengrin Blátǫnn was the second son of Sveinr the Blue-Tooth, High Jarl and keeper of the northern laws.
While his elder brother ruled the hall and the fleet, Lohengrin was the silent watcher of the fjords — a man shaped not only by war, but by the haunting song of solitude.

It was said the gods touched him in his cradle: a raven feather and a swan’s down lay side by side upon his chest, omens of dual destiny — war and grace, iron and spirit.

🩸 Appearance

Height: 1.98 m (6’6”)
Build: Lithe yet powerful; the form of a seasoned warrior tempered by discipline.
Hair: Pale gold, bound in long braided strands woven with silver thread.
Eyes: Sea-grey, calm and distant, reflecting more thought than fury.
Markings: A faint blue rune carved over his heart — the mark of faith and binding, burned there during his blood-oath to Kassau’s gods.
Voice: Deep, deliberate, carrying the stillness of deep water.

Temperament

Lohengrin is a man of paradoxes — born of battle, yet drawn to silence; a creature of command who listens more than he speaks.
He believes strength without purpose is vanity, and cruelty without reason is weakness.

Where other Jarls shout, he watches.
Where others rage, he endures.
Yet when provoked, his wrath is a tide that drowns both ship and shore.

His slaves whisper that his calm is more dangerous than any warrior’s roar, and that to serve under his gaze is to live between fear and fascination.

Symbols

Sigil: A swan in flight within a wolf’s circle — the emblem of grace bound by strength.

Colors: Silver and black upon deep blue; the twilight hues of the northern sea.

Weapon: Hrímálfr, “The Frost Swan” — a sword forged from Kassau steel, etched with runes for protection and loyalty.

Faith & Belief

Lohengrin honors the Old Gods of Torvaldsland but seeks them through reflection rather than ritual.
He drinks to Odin for wisdom, to Thor for courage, and to Freyja for the beauty of what must one day be lost.

Some say he is haunted — others say he simply remembers.

Words of Oath

“The sea remembers every drop of blood.
The steel remembers every vow.
And the gods — they remember silence.”

🩶 Companionship

To those who serve beneath him, Lohengrin is neither cruel nor merciful — he is just.
He demands obedience, yet gives purpose.
His kajirae are trained to move with grace and courage, for he believes that a master’s worth is measured by the dignity of those who kneel before him.
