Poet Bragi Boddason

They call me Troll;

Gnawer of the Moon,

Giant of the Gale-blasts,

Curse of the rain-hall,

Companion of the Sibyl,

Nightroaming hag,

Swallower of the loaf of heaven.

What is a Troll but that? [2]

Current Activities: He is an active member of The Barrow Gang and is mostly used to lean on people to collect debts or scare off competition. He doesn't have the mind for clever crime, but he often prefers instead to just mug people and do simpler, less profitable jobs.

Background: Geirrod was a simple man with simple aspirations, working in his home country of Sweden. He married a beautiful and talented Russian dancer with which whom he bore two loving sons. He worked for the government on large civil engineering projects, designing bridges and waterworks in the challenging coastlines filled with fjords. But the recession in the early 90's in Sweden was rough on his family, and thus he emigrated from Sweden and settled instead in Boston, USA. Gerrod had a rough start in the United States, due to his weak English language skills. His family struggled but was ready to endure and succeed, when while visiting the historical Boston Naval Yard, he was taken by the Gentry.

His time in Arcadia seemed to last a decades, for he was thrown into war and destruction and spent no time at rest to consider his fate. His Gentry was one of vicious appetites and restless urges to destroy. Geirrod became more like his Norse name sake, Geirröd the treacherous Frost Giant. He was a hound, a pillager, and a herald of the doom that his master wrought. Geirrod became the image of a Norse troll, with a blueish skin
