Gunnar, meaning "Warrior", was known for his blue hair which was unique among his kin. He knew which battles to choose, especially on 1 to 1, which was very much known to slay all his confronted enemies with fierce power. He saw his beloved brother Tollak Red-Beard fall in the Battle of Kattegat, but he knows that Tollak will feast in the Great Halls with Odin, so he wept not, as his brother was blessed.
