History
Ulf grew together with his cousin Hrolf being sons of twin-bom brothers.

The night that were born Ulf's twin-daughter Dagmar and Ygraine a omen said that Ygraine would bring back the ancient magic of the Shapechange and was decided she must marry Wedigar, the only man gifted with that power. In 1360 DR however Ygraine went lost in a sudden squall.

In 1361 DR, the renegade drow wizard Liriel Baenre went to met Ulf in order to learn a rune magic to carve inside the Yggsdadril's Child with the windwalker. However Ulf disagreed with Liriel and refused to help her. At that time Ivar informed Ulf that some hunters went to hunt with First Axe Aumark Lithyl were slaughtered and only the Axe went back injured. Ulf went to heal Aumark but the wound were too deep so Liriel arrived and saved Aumark with the Lolth's clerical powers, impressing Ulf. Despite this however Ulf stil refused to teach Liriel.

Later he lead the song for the dead Hrolf and saw that Liriel too was devastated by the loss and at last agreed to teach the rune to her. Together they conducted the burial of Hrolf and at same time started Liriel's training. Liriel was so powerful that Ulf decided that she can forge the rune that night. However at last moment Liriel understood that need Fyodor to forge the rune and Ulf said she no need him more.

The next morning Ulf told to Liriel that his daughter Dagmar as substitute of Ygraine went to Holgerstead to marry Wedigar, the First Axe of that village, and asked to Liriel to accompany her, the role of Hrolf at the wedding.

After Dagmar's defection Ulf started to study together with Liriel the magic of the windwalker, helping her to understand the religiosity of the Northmen.

During the Ascarle attack on Ruathym, Ulf died.
