A capable warlord in his time, he is now dependent on Torvin for the management of his own household, a dependence he both needs and resents.

It was a decision made by cold assessment of aptitude, not sentiment. He governs the island in all but name, framing every decision as his father's will while quietly making it his own. Patient, hard to read, and acutely aware that the plan he is holding together was designed for two men who may no longer both exist.[/COLOR] [/indent] [indent] [COLOR=darkgray][sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [b]◼ Name:[/b] Aldric Magnar [b]◼ Age:[/b] 28 (b. 168 AC) [b]◼ Appearance:[/b] [b]◼ Biography:[/b] Torvin's twin, currently residing as an honoured guest of House Stark. Yet from the Magnars' perspective, he is a potential blade close to the heart of their overlords. More socially fluent than most Skagosi, he was the natural choice for Winterfell. That has done little to change the fact that he is viewed as barbaric and uncivilized by those on the mainland.[/COLOR] [/indent] [/hider] [/INDENT] [/cell] [cell] [INDENT] [h3][b][color=green]H I S T O R Y[/color][/b][/h3] [/INDENT] [sup]___________________________________________________________________________________[/sup] [COLOR=DARKGRAY] [indent] House Magnar is among the oldest families of Skagos, their name itself said to mean "lord" in the ancient tongue of the island. They have a claim to precedence older than the Stark dominion over the North. They ruled as petty kings in the age before the Starks extended their reach across the Bay of Ice. The island of Skagos is a hard place, it is remote, difficult to supply, and populated by people who feel little kinship with the mainland lords who nominally rule them. Unicorns roam its highlands. Its people are regarded by the rest of the North as savage and unknowable.

House Magnar emerged from the conflict as the only Skagosi house Winterfell believes it can trust. What the North does not know is the shape of what House Magnar actually did. They aided Stark selectively, timing their support to let their rival houses Stane and Crowl bleed themselves weaker first. The architect of this scheme was the current lord's twin heirs, Torvin and Aldric. Lord Magnar, sharp enough to understand the full shape of the gamble, agreed. He has since been too ill to govern, leaving Torvin to hold the island together in all but name while Aldric sits at Winterfell as a guest.
