Many Vikings live in the Barbaric Archipelago in many different tribes; one of which is shrouded in mystery, the Murderous tribe. Not much is known about the Murderous tribe, except that all dragons fear them, as well as all Vikings.

Odessa Frosman is a young Viking woman; she was born into the Murderous tribe, though she would never call it her own. She has a deep hatred for those in her tribe, why, because they live to hunt and slaughter all dragons. Now, it would be one thing if they were attacked unprovoked by the dragons and the tribe was only defending itself, but this tribe slaughtered dragons for fun and sport. The youth of the tribe are forced to participate in arena matches against each other. These matches are to settle petty arguments as well as to weed out the weak from the dragon hunters. Since Odessa has never been one for violence she constantly throws her matches much to the irritation of her chief, the opponent, and her older brother, Glyndwr.

Odessa is slightly shorter in stature that the average Viking woman, she has long bluish black hair that is pulled back in small braids creating a thick dread like ponytail, pale skin, and seafoam green eyes. Most find her reluctance to fight a traitorous act towards the Murderous tribe, the chief's second eldest son Bronwen has grown attached to the girl and claims he can sort out her faults in the arena.

"She only acts as if she cannot fight, I will corner her until she fights back!" Bronwen argued to his father.

"She wouldn't fight back even if you through a dragon into the arena." Valdis, Bronwen's younger sister argued glaring at him.

Their father was listening to the two go back and forth for a while before deciding with a nod, "Alright Bronwen, the day after tomorrow, you may challenge the Frosman girl. That is final." He looked to Valdis who was about to argue with him, quickly shutting her mouth at his words.
