Gyrfalcon was the fosterling of the Jarl's Huntmaster in Bjornholt. He also was also the master of the mews and the kennels.Additional Information:
Prior to becoming a fosterling and apprentice to the Huntmaster Gyr was embrioled in a saga of his own. Born the bastard son of a Cheiftan Gyr was not recognized by his father and served in his houshold as a thrall until the cheiftain died of wouds suffered in a raid. just before his passing he recognized Gyr as an heir and Gyr became a member of the houshold and a brother to his older half brother and sister. His half brother was killed defending him from The son of his father's new wife and he is now a hunted man. Gyr was taken in by Hawkur the hunter but when hawkur was murdured by the man that pursued Gyr Smidja felt it best to interveen and get him out of Skandia He thought of Ringulf and Finn in Marshwood in Araluen and decided since they shared so much in common with the boy, They might foster him for his own safety.
Gyr was a natural with a bow and throwing axe and he also was deadly arrcurate with a smooth stone, so the late cheiftan's seneschal ussed him to stock the holds larder with game. when he was not hunting he was working for the smithy or the carpenter. he preferred this to the menial household chores and did not want to get into the dangers of being forced into a warmweed addiction.
When he came to be with the huntmaster he was made a fosterling and did not have to lead the life of a thrall but was no longer an heir either, so he was apprenticed to the huntmaster but Smidja also notices his aptitude for woodworking and some smithing so he started to teach him as well. that is how he came to make a supurb bow one that seemed almost like it was made by the Alves , even smidja could not beleive he had made it. The named it White Frekenvang after the tooth of Odins wolf and he is very rarely without it.
