Fenrir was born in Alfheim. He was conceived as a way to unify the Vanir and Aesir wood elf tribes. The two tribes had been at odds with each other as long as anyone can remember. His mother was the daughter of the Vanir’s shaman and his father was the Aesir’s greatest hunter. Yet while their union brought peace, old grudges are hard to get rid of. From the moment Fenrir was born he was hated. He had few friends his age and had to always have a bodyguard with him. Yet things only became worse as he grew up. Fenrir quickly showed aptitude in anything presented to him. He was able to read, write, and speak both Elven and Common by age 3 and knew how to use a sword and bow by age 8. Yet he was most hated for his affinity for the nature. Due to his mixed bloodlines he was able to tap into the powers of nature and due things like predict the weather and know where every animal in the forest around him was. Due to his power both tribes wanted Fenrir as their own. Fenrir’s parents knew Fenrir needed to stay neutral and thus made sure he was raised to be good, kind, but also disciplined. He was given the best education learning from the best members of both tribes, but at the end of the day always had to not get attached too much to either tribe. Luckily for Fenrir, he was able to befriend the fey of Alfheim. They rarely showed themselves to other races, but they took a special likening to Fenrir. They taught him in secret their native tongue Sylvan, as well and the sacred language Druidic. They also secretly taught him the ways of a druid. Of all the fey Fenrir’s favorite was the orphan sprite Moira. She was like a younger sister to Fenrir. Using illusion magic Fenrir would occasionally bring Moira into his village so she could experience life outside of the forest.

When Fenrir was 15 he had to go through the trial of manhood. It was a test a boy had to pass to become a man that both tribes had. The test comprised of going out with all the other 15 year old boys on the day of the winter solstice and coming back with a trophy of the greatest animal they killed. The greater the trophy the greater the man. While thinking of what to hunt Fenrir decided he would take a long walk away from the rest of the boys. Little did Fenrir know, Freyr of the Vanir and Höðr of the Aesir, had decided to ambush Fenrir. They took all of his supplies, beat him up till he was at death’s door, and left him to die in part of the wilderness far away from any civilization.

Fenrir was furious. He used his druid magic to heal himself and then set off to track his attackers. Using magic and skill Fenrir tracked them to the den of a dire wolf. As Fenrir approached he saw that they had brutally and unapologetically killed 5 dire wolfs from den. Even more enraged Fenrir jumped down from his tree perch and using his makeshift weapons and druidic magic Fenrir killed all of the boys that attacked him. Then Fenrir felt the faint presence of an animal coming from the den. Fenrir rushed inside and found a baby dire wolf hidden behind a group of stalagmites. Fenrir named it Dirus and fed it some of the remains of the dead outside. Fenrir took back the heads of his victims to his village. Horrified by what he had done the two tribes tried to banish Fenrir, but Fenrir told the tribe how Freyr and Aesir had attacked him and then broke the hunter’s code with the way they killed the dire wolfs. After talking it over the elders decided that Fenrir was to go to the druids on Mount Heimdallr in the mountains of Alfhiem. They would decide his fate. After leaving his home Fenrir traveled to the home of the fey to say goodbye to Moira. She told him that she was not going to let him go alone. So of Fenrir, Dirus, and Moira went to see the druid circle of Heimdallr.

The leader of the druids Odin after hearing Fenrir’s case decided that he would train with the circle and be given the title of Reaper. That title signified that he had been chosen by nature to have the power to deal death. After years of training Fenrir set out on his journey with his wife Moira, his pen Dirus, and a hallowed totem from Odin. The totem had been formed from the essence of life. It was the totem of the reaper the totem of the great wolf, the totem of FENRIR!
