@kimlikesart I believe you confused my two villains…

Þorunn is female, the only daughter and second oldest child of a Viking Thane.

Karayan is male, a vetala (a vampiric feline humanoid).

Þorunn glanced around the hall, noting how the many Pawns stared at her naked blade.  It was always best to go with a gentle, amiable approach when dealing with chattel, her father had taught her.  So the young shieldmaiden slid her sword back into its scabbard over her shoulder and spread her arms in a gesture of goodwill and reassurance.  “I did not mean to frighten you,” she told the Pawns.  “I had thought I needed to defend myself from a danger.”
They seemed mollified by her words and Þorunn barely prevented a predatory smirk from crossing her mouth.  Simpletons.  They will be my sheep, and I will be their wolf.

Karayan gave a long, exasperated sigh and sat on the floor, recumbent against the nearest table leg.  “This seems a bothersome exercise,” he murmured.  He would have left, but he had a feeling interesting events may soon be occurring and he was quite contented to sit back and watch.
