Overview
A giant Obsidian warrior enslaved as a bodyguard, Ragnar discovered the truth about the gods his people worshipped and became a powerful ally to the Rising, fighting to free his people from Gold lies.
Background
Ragnar was raised among the Obsidians of the ice, taught to worship Golds as gods. When he learned the truth—that Golds were merely mortal slavers—his worldview shattered. He joined Darrow's cause after the capture of the Vanguard, bringing the strength of his people to the revolution. In Morning Star he returned to the frozen pole of Mars to free his people — falling to Aja, his sister Sefi carrying the rebellion on.
Personality
Ragnar is gentle despite his fearsome appearance, philosophical despite his warrior training. He struggles with the destruction of his faith and seeks new meaning in the cause of freedom. His quiet wisdom and unstoppable strength make him invaluable to the Rising.
