Hallmar of the Kraken
Hallmar is a young man of about twenty years with a mop of salt-and-pepper curls that never seem to want to co-operate with him. Blue eyes and a swarthy complexion top off this son of reavers and he’s usually found wearing a dark cloak over grey trousers and tunic. He carries a short sword though he’d much rather hit you with his fist or some improvised weapon than actually use the blade.
How did a sea raider find his way into Myrken? Unfortunately for Hallmar he never could learn how to swim so a life raiding coastal towns was not in the cards. Lacking any way to have an honest living he turned to petty crime and in that pursuit met the gypsy Sill. For some reason she decided that “Craven Ewas more appropriate than “Kraken Eas a surname, and so Cray became the name Sill called him by. Somehow they became friends and constantly played pranks on one another. Those who knew them could easily see these as immature attempts at flirting and most would assume that they truly did have stronger feelings for each other than basic camaraderie. It was in an attempt to catch up again with Sill that he found himself in Myrken, and though it did offer him many opportunities at work, it wasn’t somewhere he wanted to stay.
After having left for several years Hallmar came back, only to find out that Sill was sick and wasn’t expecting to live much longer. After this revelation the pair managed to admit their feelings for each other. Hallmar had thought that they would be able to be happy, but then the creature living under the Broken Dagger killed her. Searching for her at the Dagger he thought he’d found her but then Mikhail lobbed off most of her head while Hallmar had his arm around her. The one good thing about this action was that it saved Hallmar from being attacked by the creature, but it did leave him emotionally and mentally traumatized. After that event he’s been in a haze, trying to come to grips with his sudden loss.
Suddenly Hallmar has found a goal, and that goal drives him to dig in the cellar of the Broken Dagger. What he hopes to find he won't say, though the only thing that comes to anyone's mind is the body of his gypsy love. The only problem with that assumption, though, is that he never knew that she was dragged into the earth beneath the Dagger and believes that Mikhail was the one to have killed her.
