Lord Jorik “Greatwind” Kathar III, M, 49
Jorik “Greatwind” is a large, imposing man with untamed auburn hair and a large bushy beard. He has been head of the family for over two decades, and quickly showed that he was up to the task. He has long campaigned against pirates in the waters near his home and all around the kingdom, and while he has always been successful, he has sustained many injuries, and has an intensely unattractive face. Regardless of this, he is loved by the people for being a just and kind ruler, and for always being attentive to his holdings and subjects. Jorik retains a love for adventure despite his years, and is fighting his aging body so that he can continue leading his fleet of longboats.

Lady Hilde Kathar, F, 39
Lady Hilde, wife of Jorik, is an intelligent and capable woman, and where her husband usually solves problems with aggressive action, she chooses to use her mind and influence the situation to her advantage. Despite being very unlike her husband, they love each other dearly, and she uses her vastly different skillset to help her husband govern, and serves as regent while he is away. She is fiercely protective of her children, but is easily set off when she is not in a good mood; arguments between her and her sons are common.

Tyr Kathar, M, 19
Tyr is a strong-willed young man who sees the world around him as corrupt, dominating the many to support the few. He cares greatly about all people, and is well known amongst the people of his land as a staunch defender of their rights. He has little regard for any rule he sees as wrong, and often butts heads with his father’s men and other men of influence in the community when he disagrees with their actions. He is a trained warrior, is learning to sail under his father, and often debates with his brother about his views, and is impassioned if not articulate. He is often accompanied by his brother, Leif, who enjoys helping him cause trouble, though mostly to enjoy the chaos that usually ensues. Tyr looks to become a great leader of men, though whether he can peacefully coexist with his neighbours or the king is another question.

Leif Kathar, M, 18
Leif lacks the ambition or dedication of his older brother, instead preferring to sleep with as many beautiful women as he can while helping his brother cause mischief. He is an incredibly capable person and is well aware of the fact, though he rarely uses his gifts for anything other than charming girls, which he has no difficulty doing. Leif thinks little of most people, other than his siblings, and happily speaks his mind, though he is surprisingly loyal to the people he loves.

Kari Kathar, F, 17
Kari is a small and caring young woman who sees good in all people and has an intense love for the world. She often accompanies her father on his longboat during trading voyages, and collects artistic supplies from all over the kingdom to use for her paintings, which have recently improved greatly in quality. She cares deeply for her family and friends, and is willing to do anything she has to for them.

Frey Kathar, M, 3
A young boy, Frey shows an adventurous spirit, though is quick to act violently when he feels wronged.
Vaali Kathar, M, 35
The younger brother of Jorik, Vaali inherited little from their father. His older brother offered to make him a leader of his fleets, and asked for his help in administering some of his lands, and Vaali eagerly accepted. He proved to be a capable leader, especially when hunting down pirates, and seems to understand the world in a way many do not, occasionally sharing his insights with others. He usually has little to say, a trait that make many people see him as emotionless. The people close to him, however, are aware that much of this separation between himself and others stems from his inability to be openly gay, with his sexuality known by many but commented on by few. His exploits and demeanour have earned him much respect from those under his command, and his brother never shirks from honouring everything that Vaali has achieved.
