History: Clan Snowspear has ruled the northern kingdom of Muthrindel for as long as people have settle there,at least that's what legend claims. Their existence was far from peaceful,only the strongest and most cunning had any chance to survive,let alone rule,The North. Many legends abounded for untold generations about the ruthless northmen who would often raid nearby settlements,and war with one another for no readily seen purpose,and the truth was only a little different. But everything changed when the Lion set his sights on the harsh and unforgiving kingdom. Throughout the course of the few battle that would take place Albrecht's father,the King of the North was impressed by the might and tenacity of the foreign king who called himself The Lion. He knew his people would never last against the man's onslaught and his seemingly limitless force. So he agreed to serve the king as he saw fit,asking only that his people continue their existence,and rule,as was their birthright,under him,in return they would safeguard the northern territory from anything that might attempt to bring trouble to the great king's domain,and should he need warriors,his men would be ready. The deal was struck and has survived ever since.
Reputation: Albrecht serves as the voice of his aging father and is known for his unflinching loyalty to his father,land and people,as well as his sense of honor and pride. He is also known for his contempt for the opulent way people live throughout the areas of the kingdom he has journeyed,and has been known to voice this disdain when angered,which is rare for he is known for his calmness. Despite this,his loyalty to the Lion's crown is well known,and he had once fought alongside the Lion's late son. He has made many visits to the kingdom in the time before the Lion's death and grew to know him and his family well,though it has been some time since his last visit. There are whispers that the northmen will either try to break free of their bargain soon,or simply try to invade,and Albrecht has lately been seen since his return as the harbinger of another war.
