Ulf

"'My thirst for knowledge has no bedtime hour.'" "—Ulf"

The second oldest of Ilnel's sons, Ulf lived in the shadow of his older brother, Ghesdalt. Ulf was the leader of the Jagdlegion and an accomplished hunter, scout, and tactician.

Biography
Ulf had a long-standing rivalry with his brother, Ghesdalt, whom he sought to undermine at every opportunity.

Upon hearing from Ilnel about his possession of Klinde, Ulf turned to using this information against his father. He had his Jagds spread rumors across the Realm that his father was seeking to use Klinde to destroy them. Ulf's plan was ultimately a failure; while he succeeded in bringing the Mindhalders to the Kaltstein, this merely provided a convenient way for Ilnel to have them killed.

Ulf was sent on a dual mission: recapture the escaped Klinde and lay siege to the Daland. He was given loan of the Dysterlegion and sent through the Türs to accomplish this task.

Before departing for his mission, Ulf made a loose alliance with Darluch to overthrow his father. He was also given the title of "count" and made ruler of Scholde by his father (unbeknownst to Ulf, merely as a ruse to gain his trust).

Personality and traits
Ulf was very independent-minded. He often pretended to follow his father's orders and maintain his manners in court, but secretly he despised his family and was working to plot against them.

Ulf struggled to keep his temper in check, instead relying on his intellect and patience to see him through any setbacks or difficulties. He did sometimes let his anger get the better of him, especially when lashing out against his siblings and their subordinates.

Ulf was much more quiet and contemplative than his siblings. He was a great admirerer of his grandfather and often took to thinking about what advice he would have given Ulf, had he been alive.
