The Reapers always find themselves at the forefront of the hordes of Vikings fighting with heavy two-handed axes, fighting their way through foes insane enough to stand in their way. They are dressed in leather and iron rings, their bodies covered in tattoos - reminders of past battles, which they carry with pride. These brave warriors embody the ideals of true Viking warriors: courage, integrity and passion. Everyone knows that the moment of their death has already been decided, and therefore they do not fear it. Obviously, they intend to take as many enemies with them as possible.
