From Ask and Embla

Hmmmmm.... I definately like the character. I think it's really interesting to say the least. But Iagree that we need to make him a little more human.

You said he had been blinded?

Why not say that he was blinded in some terrible massacre and one of the Usi (do you mean the gaurdians of Vyrd btw??? I thought Garna gaurded Hel) saved him, believing that as he lived in the midst of all the carnage, that she/he would gant him back his sight. But with this came the cost of inheriting some of the gifts of the Usi. Or his clansmen had a very close relationship with the Usi, after his clansmen and family were murdered one of the Usi spared his life and ta da.... something like that....

That way it's more human interest...
