Njáll actually had a surprisingly comfortable past for such a cold man. He grew up in Hillerød, and his parents weren’t neither poor or rich, but more of an in between. In was good enough to take care of the family of three. He had a twin, Ársæll. They were two amazingly cute brothers together who barely could be separated, as they were their own best friends. He had never met about his father, and his mother never wanted to tell about him either. But at the time, he didn’t ask more questions, thinking it was normal.

Sadly, the family of three didn’t last all that long. when Njáll was just around 10 years, his mother became very ill, and soon, she barely could do anything, not even able to care for her sons, who had no idea in how they could help her.. For the little thing Njáll could do, he started stealing. It wasn’t good, something he was always well aware of, but they had no other choice. It was at first the tiny necessities he stole, things like food, or money. When it got colder warmer clothes. He thought he was doing the right thing for his family. Which was in the first case. His mother’s health only got worse sadly, and when it was winter, she died of undercooling and her illness. Njáll and Ársæll now had absolutely nowhere to go. Two young boys who could barely survive on their own. Njáll kept stealing because of this, keeping them now alive, while still mourning his mother.

They grew up like that now, stealing to survive, but not wanting to trust anybody. This was mostly because Njáll wanted that, he distrusted other people, slowly developing his hate to others the more he got older. He started stealing other things as well, whether they had much value or not, he just wanted to have it. There was no other particular reason to. Ársæll disapproved of this, as he was more the righteous brother of the two. the one who cared at people. They didn’t had it easy, which only was still getting worse and worse. Njáll went somewhere to advertise himself, and would do anything to get money. That was the moment when someone contacted him to kill someone. He had still enough morals to find it horrible. But it paid so well. He didn’t accept it yet, but didn’t decline either. He needed time to think about it, a lot. He couldn’t share the offer he got with Arsæll, who would disapprove of it, and would never let him do it. Eventually, he did accept the offer. It felt like a horrible thing to do, but his greed for the reward money would see it as equal. He would do it again. He lied to his brother where he got the money from, and kept doing it, as long the price would be good.

Sadly, Ársæll eventually found out by it, this was around their age of 19. He found it horrible of his brother, and how much he may have loved him, he couldn’t forgive Njáll for the countless of crimes that he had committed. He disgusted it even. That was the point then when Njáll just.. left him. He had started to like the job even, how wrong or horrible it may have been. He went into hiding, isolating himself mostly, to make sure that he couldn’t be found. He still however took the contracts he could, purely for the money. Since he didn’t had the share it anymore now with his brother, it felt like he was getting so much more money, he didn’t know what to do anymore. He started accepting different contracts aswell out of Hillerød, which would mean he either had to travel by ship, or on land. the contracts brought him close to everywhere, and he got used to the traveling everywhere. Njáll even was liking it more and more to be on a ship, it was where he was most of the time, but just a passenger most of the time, something was a shame. He would like his own ship, which would be way more convenient.

So, he started to keep earning his money, now with a goal in mind. Buy a ship, recruit some crew and just sail. Not only for getting around for contracts, but to be just on the sea as well. It was one of the things he would like, as in actually liking. Getting a crew would be the hardest part, as he absolutely hated people, but without them, it would be impossible to do what he wanted, so he kept being stubborn to himself and kept working. Only at the age of 27 he finally achieved it all. He got his amazing boat, and a crew, which he trusted.. good enough. Never fully, maybe that would happen later. He kept doing contracts, but would sometimes also do some other jobs, like transporting people on his ship. It was one of the more easier ways, he had to agree on. The few times he got on shore, he would spent his time killing people, getting in fights or drinking. He never wanted that his life would get boring, it was something he hated the most, and still does to this day.
