Aksel lacks refinement, subtly and fear, three of the fundamental elements of a Requiem. While he is far from simple, it is rare that he takes anything other than the direct route to solving a problem. Part of this directness stems form his belief system, a devout follower of the Forn Siðr, at least as he is aware of it. The greatest honour is to fall in battle, and he and his childer have already fallen. There is little to fear when you haven't just accepted death, but have passed through it into the Halls of Valhǫll. It is not that he does not know fear, centuries of war with a Nosferatu house have made that impossible, however he sees fear as an outside force imposed upon him, and gives it no further thought. Fear is an illusion, a hang-up from a former mortal existence, nothing more. Also his night existence has been based around service and duty to family, so much of the manoeuvring and plotting so necessary in Court, Covenant, and Clan have passed him by entirely.

"I know the stories, of course, but I'm now starting to understand them. Through tribulation and sacrifice comes wisdom, however I would have much rather have just given up an eye and been done with it. There may be a metric-shit-tonne of wisdom coming my way, but if I'd known how much being burnt down to the bone would hurt, I would have opted to remain blissfully ignorant. Still, the all-father usually knows best."

Aksel lacks refinement, subtly and fear, three of the fundamental elements of a Requiem.

Also his night existence has been based around service and duty to family, so much of the manoeuvring and plotting so necessary in Court, Covenant, and Clan have passed him by entirely.


Sire: Vilrec Langlifr

Bloodline: Archived-Valdyr

Notable Traits: Aksel's flight form is that of a Raven, rather than a bat.

Titles: Liulfr / Outsider / Valkyrja

Coteries/Societies: Aksel's position within the Valdyr is a strange one, for more than a century he followed and protected the interests of the family, both mortal and immortal, moving across the globe to check on holdings and misplaced family members. Rarely staying in one place for long he often found himself alone, sometimes this was a good thing, sometimes less so. Throughout his travels, and with disturbing frequency, he would 'gift' living members of the family with the embrace. He would pick the outcasts, the black sheep, the unloved, and for a time he would have a companion. Invariably once they were strong enough to travel he would wish to move on, and more often than not they wouldn't. Whether a factor of the childer he chooses, or just because he's been a pretty crappy sire, his childer have a tendency for either fanatical loyalty, or for breaking from the family. Lots of kids, lots of disappointments, and a few upstanding members of the House.


Before the Volmark/Valdyr conflict was forcibly contained by the Treaty, Aksel led the Kveldúlfr (evening wolves), a small band of still-mortal warriors used against Volmark strongholds. Granted his own blood, thick with the promise of Fenris, these mortals were a viable threat to solitary neonates. Their focus was on pursuit of wounded Volmark when it would otherwise have been prevented by the coming of dawn, and the removal of fallen Valdyr from the field. Despite their advantages over normal mortals the Kveldúlfr fared poorly in direct confrontation with kindred warriors, and recruitment was limited only to those who had already provided children to the mortal lineages of the family.


Information Known by Kindred Society

Born into one of the living families that become Valdyr, his mortal days were spent as an accountant managing the shrinking family business in the aftermath of the collapse of the Dutch East-India company.
He took a stray bullet during the Belgium war of independence (as in he was sitting at his desk doing accounts when a missed shot came in the window), and was basically embraced so that the family wouldn't lose track of their finances.
In his very first night of kindred existence he immediately decided that THIS was what was meant by Valhalla.. and has lived his life as such ever since..

  • blood is the mead of the Gods, feast and be merry
  • you are dead, and that which is dead cannot die... so enjoy your bloody self
  • nothing wrong with torporing kindred, we're all supposed to fight, die, and fight again in the halls of the gods

Lineage

Childe of Vilrec Langlifr, the Nostalgic. Grand Child of Hringr, the Fulfilled. Descendant of Hati Hróðvitnisson, Sun-Eater.
Brother to Berengaria, the Zealous.


Only those that die in battle are worthy of Valhǫll, so those that Aksel believes worthy of becoming Einherjar must fight for their life when he comes that final time. Those that fail to fight, are fit only for food. Made men, musicians and whores have all found the will and strength to give almost as good as they've gotten, and these he now calls childer. Of course, they haven't all forgiven him for the manner of their embrace.
Sire of Alvis, Widcke, Carloine, Enid & Mr Desmond.

"What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father. Now fuck off." - Archived-Anthony Desmond, selectively quoting Nietzsche


"Sure, I know Mr. Vinter. I know his kid Desmond as well. Right and proper bastards, the both of them. That's all you need to know." - Archived-Tobias Mol


"Aksel's a hero. A torpid one, taking respite from the world as he tries to recover - but a hero, nonetheless." - Archived-Eira


"We have never met, once I would have said that fortune has smiled on him for this. With the treaty, I now say it has smiled on me. The fools reputation proceeds him." - Archived-Lothar


"My brother has my back as I will always have his. For a century we were sometimes all the other had, and you either come out of that tied together or repulsed away- Aksel and I have taken the first road in this. He has saved my life and I have saved his, and those who threaten me get to meet my brother sooner or later. They don't always end up walking away in the best state..." - Archived-Berengaria Lange


"There is no one that treats me like Aksel does. He is light-hearted and affectionate in a way no other is. He throws his arm around me and compliments me easily, like an uncle. Perhaps that's what he thinks he is, and what I let him be. It's hard to tell with the Valdyr." - Archived-Fatimah al-Mu'allima

Conversations

"Well yes I sat on their head, it stopped them from doing something suicidal. That's how we show our love for each other, now quit bugging me before I show you how we demonstrate our love of disemboweling idiots." - Discussing family interactions.

"..but we are wolves." - Enid
"Tis good to be the wolf, but do not get carried away. We are as far above the wolf as we are above the kine, our strength comes from family, not fang." - Aksel

"Rasmus! Uncle Aksel's in town!"
"Truly, now, Eira?"
"Yeah, we just got word. Can we hang out with him tonight?"
"There's court-"
"Please?"

Rumours

  • Has an unhealthy interest in Archived-Batavia.
  • Has skirted the letter of the treaty, if not the intent.
  • Was rather hoping that Vilrec would reject the treaty when he awoke.
  • Mr Lucan completely understands and relates to Aksel's madness. This in itself is a sign that they are both exceptionally sane and calculating.
  • Despite working for the former Prince at the time of his death, he has now been appointed Sheriff under a new Volmark Prince. Suspicious on so many levels.
  • Having been appointed Sheriff promptly up and dissipated. New Sheriff gets appointed and there are instantly new sightings... apathy or cunning, can't tell which.
