Personality
Bikriger is a very protective wolf. He puts the other wolves of his clan before himself and would never do anything to intentionally harm any of his clanmates, even during a spar. The only reason he would ever harm someone of the clan is if they had somehow wronged the clan. He refuses to harm those that don't deserve it.
For a long time, before his promotion to Jarl, he was an Aesir, one of the Clan's Elite guards. Now, as Jarl, he has truly proven that he is one of the most skilled fighters in the clan. Still, though, he suffers from a lot of self doubt because he was bullied as a pup and until recently was often still referred to 'the worst of the best'.
He doesn't show a lot of emotion, but he will be quick to comfort others when they need it. His main priorities are keeping the other wolves in his clan safe, happy, and healthy.
Bikriger is loyal to a fault and probably can not be persuaded to go against his clan in any way shape or form.
He does have a tendency to be a little bit sarcastic and will joke around with those he feels the most comfortable with.
His fatal flaw is probably his hot-headedness. He is quick to anger, and merciless on the battlefield. He's been trying to manage his anger, though, and tries not to take it out on others, instead uses it to drive him when he's hunting or fighting with enemies.
VOICE CLAIM: (just watch until 40 seconds - he's the bald guy)

x Feeling threatened
x Being forced to spar with other clanmates (all out spars, he's okay with ones where both wolves agree to hold back)
x Hurting his clanmates
Backstory
Born into the Spades Clan, Bikriger has always been a loyal warrior. As a young pup, Bikriger wasn't exactly the strongest. His temper got him into a lot of trouble and he was frequently bullied by other pups who wanted an easy target to pick on. It was like they enjoyed watching him get angry and try to fight back, only to fail. When he was younger he was rather clumsy, and definitely not that great of a fighter or hunter. Back then, he was rather small and thin.
During this time, he was definitely looked down upon as one of the more useless members of the clan. They thought that he probably wouldn't amount to much, seeing as he wasn't good at many things. Because of this, his parents believed it would be best if he started training as a Laeknir, because then at least he would have a purpose in the clan.
However, when he was one year old, during a hunt with other clanmates, Bikriger made a decision that ultimately won them a large sum of prey. Even though it meant defying the Viking in charge of the hunt, Bikriger proved that he had a tactical mind, and was much more capable than he appeared.
It was from that day forward that he decided he would not be looked down upon anymore. He started training as hard as he could for the past two years, working his way up the ranks, and now, at three years old, has reached the rank of Aesir, proving himself to be a very worthy member of the clan indeed.
He has honed his mind, body, and senses so that he can be one of the best, and help the clan however he possibly can.
After a bear hunt with High King Ragnvald, Bikriger proved himself to be extremely valuable on the field, and after a smart tactical move that impressed the King, Bikriger was promoted to the rank of Jarl. Now, acting as the King's Advisor, Bikriger could not be more satisfied with his position in the clan, and hopes that he can continue to prove himself to be an asset to the clan by helping the King with those hard decisions.
SKILLSET:
Fighting - Through long hours of training and sparring with other wolves along with being out on the field, Bikriger has proven himself to be a fastidious warrior that is merciless on the battlefield. He is not one to be messed with. He wears his many scars with pride. He may not be the best fighter ever since he hardly ever comes out of a fight unscathed, but he's still a darn good one, almost always winning his fights no matter how battered he becomes. He fights smarter instead of just using brute strength.
Hunting - With his tactical mindset, Bikriger is good at figuring out what prey is the best to try and take down. He also is good at sensing where to best position wolves and his fighting capabilities help him in taking down larger prey.
Protecting Others - Bikriger will always put other clanmates before himself, sometimes throwing his body between fighting wolves to save the life of a clanmate. Being an Elite Guard, he feels that it is his duty to keep every single wolf in his clan safe, regardless of what it means for his own life. He would happily lay down his life to keep those he cares about safe.
Medical Skills - For a some time before he proved himself to be useful on the field, Bikriger was training to become a Laeknir (medic). Because of this, he has some medical knowledge, and if a wolf can't be brought to a Laeknir in time, he is quick to step in and help where he can. He's treated some of his own more minor wounds, but usually goes to an actual Laeknir for larger ones.
Appearance
Bikriger is a large, muscular, male North Wolf with a dark gray pelt, blue eyes, and striking yellowish-brown stripes running down his body. He has a blonde tuft of fur that runs into dark brown on the top of his head that is often spiked up slightly.
SCARS:
He has very prominent scars on his body, and a few on his face as well.
x The one over his eye in particular came from another pup when he was young and being bullied for being 'weak'.
x The one on his hind leg came from his father while being taught about how to fight and honor when he was young as well.
x His chest scar actually was from a particularly brutal sparring session, when he ended up earning his rank of Aesir.
x The large scars on his back came from a bear hunt. (The one where afterwards, he was promoted to Jarl).
x His other scars from various different battles - both from spars and actual battles with enemies on the field.
