==Background== ''Of all of [[Ludin|Ludin's]] traveling companions, Bersi is the most likely to stand out, being a literal giant amongst men. Even [[Ludin]] seems afraid of him, which might be the primary reason he hasn't been sent away. On the rare occasion it has been whispered that the [[Varl]] doesn't even work for the prince, but some other group altogether. What is well known is that he's already saved [[Ludin|Ludin's]] life on more than one occasion.'' Instead of leading the life of a warrior like most of the other [[varls]], Bersi became a sword-for-hire. One of his jobs involved pretending to be a brigand to toughen up apprentice [[menders]] and teach them the necessity of using violence. He was also once hired by the Mender Council to find [[Yngvar]], who had disappeared after the end of the [[Second Great War]]. Bersi's last job before becoming Ludin's bodyguard was to toughen up the apprentice mender [[Hafr]]. The varl pretended to be a bandit who had abducted him for ransom, and tortured him by keeping him thirsty and starving, before stabbing him in the thigh on the third day. As the young mender was able to free himself from the ropes tying to him a tree without his patterned stick to help him, the varl let him go. An elder mender then offered him a job to accompany Ludin as his bodyguard, so the [[Mender Council]] would know about everything that was happening as he met the Varl King [[Jorundr]]. Bersi eventually agreed, finding it less bloody than what he did with young menders. {{abilityheader}} {| style="float: left" |[[File:tempest_icon.png]] |} ====<big>Active Ability: Tempest</big>==== :::The Warhawk uses his massive weight to sweep his weapon around himself, hitting multiple adjacent targets, friend or foe, for normal [[strength]] damage. :::Tempest hits the selected enemy target plus additional units, friend or foe, moving in a clockwise fashion around the Warhawk.

Keeping the Warhawk out of harm's way until late in the fight will maximize his effectiveness. {| style="float:left;" | [[File:secondabilitygeneric_icon.png|60px]] |} ====<big>Second Active Ability: Choice</big>==== :::In the second part of ''The Banner Saga'', when Bersi reaches [[Rank]] 6, he can choose a second active ability between: :::*[[File:Sunderingimpact_icon.png|40px]] [[Sundering Impact]] (Warmaster), like [[Hakon]] :::*[[File:Forgeahead_icon.png|40px]] [[Forge Ahead]] (Warleader), like [[Krumr]] {| style="float: left" |[[File:heavyimpact_icon.png]] |}
