Fenrik Trygg

Fenrik Trygg is a member of Squad Temujin of the Tales of Loyalty series. He originally came from the Space Wolves Chapter, but for valorous deeds was admitted into the Silver Knights.

Trygg is a native of Fenris, and was well acquainted with her icy moods and fierce creatures. As a small child, he proved his ferocity and cunning when he slew a Great White Bear with only an axe and a knife. The bear had attacked his tribe's settlement, and he had acted on instinct to defend his family. Bloodied and more than half dead, his actions had been observed by a Wolf Priest. He approached the child and gave him the choice of joining the Space Wolves. Honored by this, Trygg accepted. After several years training in the most grueling conditions imaginable, Trygg eventually became a loyal member of the Space Wolves.

Trygg fit in well with the Chapter, fighting hard and celebrating harder for over a century. But it would be on one campaign that he would show a side of himself that even he did not know. In a battle against an Ork incursion in Segmentum Tempestus, his unit was taken by surprise by the Warboss himself, a huge creature standing four meters tall. His sergeant was killed early in the fight, and his squad was getting torn apart. A crude bolt round glanced his helmet, taking it off and giving him a concussion. The pain, and the cries of his brothers, took Trygg over the edge. He blacked out, and when he awoke he was standing over the mauled body of the Warboss along with several of the Ork's comrades. With the Warboss dead, the Ork army soon fell to petty squabbles and was easily cleaned up by the combined efforts of the Space Wolves and the Imperial Guard. When word came to the Silver Knights that he had almost single handily dispatched the Warboss and his retinue, they accepted him into their ranks.

Trygg has never told anyone this, but he was greatly disturbed by his episode against the Warboss. He was described as fighting with the fierceness of a Daemon, howling and attacking with no care for his own safety. While he was praised for his ferocity, he feels it is undeserved. After all, he had not been conscious when he had taken down the Orks, but rather in a bloodied frenzy. What difference, then, does he have from the Berserkers of Khorne? This question has often been on his mind, and he has striven for more control over himself. But often he falls back to knee jerk, rash actions in combat. He is slightly envious of his comrade, Jarlan Amadeus, for the Marine's self control. This has led to some friction between the two.
