Pekwon (concept)
Second in command to Velos in the war with the Sky-Gods and some may even say the greatest fighter of them all. Pekwon's skill with his sword 'Striggyr' is the subject of many a saga. However, this only made his fall the more tragic. According to myth, Pekwon during the course of the war fell in love with a Sky-Goddess and wished to marry her in the realm above. When his brother Velos, heard of this betrayal, he was so fueled with rage, that he cut off all of Pekwon's fingers as he slept so that he may never wear a ring. Pekwon reached for Striggyr yet it simply fell out of his maimed hands.
Velos' outburst of anger proved disastrous as without Pekwon the war quickly turned to the Sky-God's favour, forcing them to enter the negotiation table. When the bloody conflict came to an end and the God's gave gifts to mankind, brooding Pekwon gave the cruel gift of hunger and misery, so that the beautiful creations of the Gods may all wither and die. Despite this, Pekwon is still worshipped to some extent by the Sjalvolki the 'gift' of decay is what allows fallen warriors to enter the great halls of Velos and some even sympathise with his tale.
