The Thread of Life
The Protectors of the Thread is a culture which connects with the thread of life, an energy that binds all life together, and strengthens one's bond with the world around them and allows them to become one with nature. Its an ancient belief passed down by generations of the Ironsides clan. Asger Ironsides keeps the traditions of the Thread of Life going, because if he doesn't, who will.

A Most Traumatic time
Asger Ironsides was a man born in the eastern lands of Rathnir. His father was the leader of an underground clan known as Clan Ironsides which was wiped out early into his life by a group led by an unidentified demon. Asger was left alive and walked for days before being found by a fishing couple on the border of Sparwood and Nieden. There, he swore to himself that he would find the the monster that slaughtered his clan in cold blood, and took his mother, who was never to be seen again. He trained for them, he fought for them, he kept pushing to prove to himself that he could avenge his clan. He kept pushing himself to himself in the small hopes that he could once again find his mother.

The Dying Flame in the Dark
Eventually while in a town in the country of Frosmyre, He met a woman that he tells himself he would've given everything for, had she requested. after months of talking they finally decided to build a small cabin outside of the town they met and eventually had a child together, which they didn't even have a chance of naming before the demons they killed his clan, murdered the only one he kept so close. Its like they followed him, like flies to a carcass or prospectors to a gold mine. He didn't move for 3 days and just sat, pondering his entire life like it was a bad dream, but it wasn't, it was a harsh example of reality of being the son of a man who messed with the wrong people, and now he must pay the ultimate price.

The Re-Igniting Flames
However, these thoughts didn't stop him, instead they kept him going, and after he was finally moving again, Asger Ironsides went out of sight, and out of mind for 3 entire years, before he finally made his appearance once again, with his primary goal being vengeance. One day during his travels he located the Church of the Divine in Ecclesia, Frosmyre, where he currently resides today.

Effects of His Earlier Life
Trauma of his earlier life causes him to not show much emotion, and his caring for people really typically is only shown when they are endangered, this his care is extremely evident. He's a friend most people wouldn't even think of having until they really get to know the man himself.

Why He Keeps Fighting
Asger always says to himself that his clan and Father are still avengeable and his mother is still out there somewhere, captured, wandering or starting a new life in a distant land. But no matter what he must do, he has to find his mother or at least know that she's gone, and he must avenge his clan and more importantly, his father.
