"We live in seclusion here, away from the cares of Skyrim, this is how we keep our members safe from the Prejudice and Short-sightedness of the Atmorans."

- Hefndir Sturmhaukr

, also known as Stormhawk and formerly known as Karyor is a half Atmoran, half Falmer and he is leader and founder of the Order of the Stormhawk.

Personality
Hefndir Sturmhaukr is a particularily brave half elf with a strong dislike of the Companions who he sees as the most dishonourable scum on Nirn. He is extremely vengeful towards many atmoran warriors due to their relentless massacre of the Falmer, and is prone to go into fits of rage.

Apperance
Standing at 2.1 meters in height and weighing almost 200 kilograms, Hefndir is a large and powerful man. His skin is quite pale, it's darker than that of falmer but lighter than most Atmorans, his hair is short cut and scruffy, it appears white and his eyes are a silvery colour. He is rarely seen without his armour and only washes his body or it in seclusion, in fact the only people to even have seen his face apart from his lover are the top members of the Order.

History
Hefndir's mother was a falmer and hs father was a particularily vile Atmoran whom instead of killing the elven women, used them as his personal playthings.

While these women were never allowed to give birth, due to the father murdering each one before they could give birth, one falmer woman by the name of Terselin escaped his father's clutches and several months later gave birth to the child she would name Karyor in the safety of a secluded Falmer Village.

Here Karyor was raised as a Falmer would have raised their own children, but he was a problem child among falmer, stemming from his paternal lineage, despite learning the falmer language and his parent's wish for him to become a healer, he became obsessed with the way of the blades, fighting with sword and axe one weapon in each hand, as a Teenager he left the Falmer Village behind and traveled skyrim, his face always hidden by the helmet he wore, but his white eyes always shimmering just beneath the helmet's mask. The Falmer Village would soon after be burned to the ground unbeknownst to the young Half-breed

He travelled Skyrim for years and over the course of his travels he eventually joined the Companion and discovered a former member named Skulgoll, the man who would later be revealed to be his father. Learning of the cruelty that this man had laid upon the women he took it upon himself to punish his father severely, and fatally through death. But despite the man's cruelty, Karyor lost his place among the companions, but it was just as well. Karyor wouldn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father.

Leaving the Companions, Karyor took on a new name Hefndir, for the vengeance that he had exacted upon his father, he turned to Kyne for peace of mind. and eventually took the name of Sturmhaukr. Forevermore his name would be Hefndir Sturmhaukr. Living for years as a recluse he meditated and sought out power in whatever shape it would come in, this led him to the words of power, three called to him. The power to knock a dragon from the sky, the one to bring a storm down upon his foes and the power to seep the life out of whoever he believed to be deserving of it.

Hefndir would eventually gather Men and Mer under him and with the blessing of Kyne forge the Order of the Stormhawk. To seek out anyone and anything that would pose a threat to their ideals and bring it to justice, be it man, mer or beast.

Powers and Abilities
Hefndir's atmoran blood gives him an innate resistance to cold, he also has the ability to cause frost damage on touch furthermore he is able to deal serious damage to anyone within a one meter radius of him and knocking them back, a power that would only be rediscovered millennia later.

Studying with the cult of Kyne Hefndir has mastered three shouts, Marked for death that causes his target to weaken condsiderably and drain their health, Storm Call that causes heavy downpour, accompanied by a fierce thunderstorm directly above him that throws powerful bolts of lightning down upon anyone underneath, and Dragonrend, the only shout that can knock a Dragon out of the Sky.
