Bio: Formerly the leader of a pirate/raider crew that operated in the Sea of Ghosts, Harald Sigurdsson (know under the monikers of Hrane the Hunter or Hrane the Black) is a very deeply rooted in tradition Nordic warrior. Hailing from Eastmarch, he grew up on the streets of the City of Ysgramor as an orphan who's father died during the Markarth Incident when he was but 6. Local beggars took him in and helped him survive, as he chose to hide in the city rather than go to the dreaded Orphanage in Riften. He grew up with considerable street smarts, and once he was of age, he took up on himself to make his fathers legacy proud. He became a member of the Stomrcloaks but later deserted after a battle being presumed dead along with multiple other men, who followed his lead.

That was when Harald became the leader of a pirate crew which raided Breton settlements and attacked East Empire shipments for the next two years. All was fine until the Blood Horkers rolled in and put Harald's crew out of business, killing all of his men and stranding him on an iceberg. As he himself thought his fate was sealed, a merchant ship came across him and took him with them.

One thing led to another and on board the ship Harald met a young Nord noblewoman from Cheydinhal, with whom he fell in love, and after a strained affair with her father, he was cast out, but promised to come back for her sometime.
