Appearance: Geirr certainly takes after his father in nearly every manner possible. He is quite clearly of Scandinavian descent with his nearly white, blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He towers over most everyone, topping out at a massive six foot two and boasts quite the amount of muscles making it hard for him to find clothing that fits his body right. Luckily he can take the majority of his father’s hand me downs. He much prefers plain trousers and simply button up shirts. He avoids really having to attend anything that would require dressing up. His hair is kept cut rather short along the sides and a good deal longer on the top. Long enough that it requires being pulled back with a piece of string when out in public so he doesn’t feel he has the hair of a woman. He is right handed.
History:

1862: One loud and boisterous little boy is born in the first week of May. Marion is beside herself with excitement and happiness, especially when Jarl brings her home a bouquet of flowers. She notices Larkspurs among the bright colors and as such, Geirr Larkspur Thorsen comes to exist.
1863: Another girl is born, Eydis.
1865: Another boy and final child is born, Bjarni.
1867: Geirr’s first sign of magic comes by show of turning a fake wooden sword into a real one while play fighting with Sindri. Luckily, Jarl intercepts the sharp blade and prevents any damage from happening though it doesn’t stop him from having a good chuckle at just how much Geirr is like himself.
1869: Ragna leaves for Hogwarts.
1872: Sindri goes to Hogwarts.
1873: Geirr gets to go off to Hogwarts finally and is promptly sorted into Slytherin, the hat barely having a chance to sit on his head before yelling out he would be joining his brother.
1874: Eydis leaves for Hogwarts but, although a sweet girl, little promise is believed of her.
1875: Sindri and Eydis do not return to school. Sindri deciding to pursue a career in photography. Eydis simply isn’t bright enough so it isn’t worth the money or time to even bother.
1876: Bjarni goes to Hogwarts.
1878: Though Geirr does rather decent on his OWLs and could potentially stick around at school, he sees little need in it and doesn’t go back to school. He helps his father on his fishing boat during the day and gambles at night. Though a big man already, he’s rather adept at sleight of hand and easily makes a fair share of money.
1879: The day following his seventeenth birthday, Geirr moves out of the family home and heads to London. Regardless of the fear of magical folk, Geirr wants to live in a town that there is definitely more hustle and bustle. He can earn his keep with his bare, muscular hands and does so as a mercenary of sorts, the type that is hired to rough up and intimidate people who have debts to pay. He actually quite enjoys it and his size surely plays to his advantage.
1881: After spending years between living on the streets and in customers’ spare rooms, Geirr finds a small one room flat. It is definitely not something one would bring a woman back to but it is just enough for Geirr.
1884: Geirr takes up employment at Borgin and Burkes, feeling the darker aspect of the shop draws a certain appeal to him.
1886: Geirr is up to his typical deeds, gambling and cheating, sleeping with gorgeous women. Oh, and working at B&Bs.

Personality: Troublemaker. Arrogant. Dark Arts Interest. Loud. Blunt. Hard Worker.
