The Guardian of the North. A former viking and Grommar's friend/lover who died during an ambush while keeping Grommar and the rest of the crew safe.

Watching his noble sacrifice, and his unwavering sense of duty. The sacred lands imbued his cold body with life energy, resurrecting him in the process.

It didn't take him too much time to understand what his new purpose was now that he was alive again. He was meant to expel the trespassers and free the northern lands from their malicious hold on them. With new and almost unlimited power coursing through his body he set to do the task.

Years passed before him and Grommar met again after the fight to reclaim the northern lands from the dark giant had ended. Grommar, recently appointed clan leader, met the Guardian of the North and easily recognized him as his late love.

Overjoyed by the revelation that Grünt was still alive, he immediately set for him to return back home with him, but was devastated when he found out that Grünt, as the guardian of the land, couldn't live outside their territory.

Wishing for his old flame and friend to keep on living without their memory weighing them down, he asked the land to make Grommar forget about him. And as the snow fell on the two of them. Grünt planted a deep kiss on a distressed Grommar's lips, which the mighty viking returned with a mix of longing and sorrow.

When his men found him standing still in the middle of a clearing, they worried that something might have happened, but when they asked him, a confused Grommar couldn't remember what had happeng to him, only that his heart felt heavy, perhaps it was because he was near the place where Grünt had lost his life.

Saying goodbye, he and his men turned their backs and left the arte, unaware that the imposing figure of The Guardian of the North watched over them with a solemn face as a single tear rolled down his eye.
