  Appearance: Esbjörn is no man to take lightly. Standing at a towering six feet, nine inches, he holds true to the name given to him upon his birth. He is a ruggedly handsome young man, of a lean, yet muscular form, showing that he possess both power, and the ability to wield it quickly and effectively. Forged from the harsh winters of his birth place, and years spent on the harsh sea, he is tough, both in body and in mind, and just as harsh as the winters themselves. His eyes and very stance show the careful confidence of a man who has experienced much, even in the short years he has lived up to this point.
  
  His blonde hair is wild and reaches well past his neck, showing that it is groomed, but only just so. His confident eyes are a golden orange color, with a fierceness to them, yet careful and attentive. In combat they do not blink, and never look away from those he faces.

His body, having been forged in the harsh cold, and the seas shows great energy, allowing him to remain in combat or on the move for long periods of time, where most men would break, showing the truth of his heritage. And would that would take months to heal, only takes a week or two.
