Personality: As his rune suggests, Tár is strong and independent. He has mellowed as he's gotten older though. Tár cares for his family and has enjoyed being back amongst them - and the horses - since taking his leave of the military. But he has seen and done a lot in his time and certain level of disconnection is necessary - making him distant at times. It's all still there though, under the surface; he'll never be completely tamed.
Bio:
Tár grew up amongst horses - his family bred, trained and traded them. Much of his youth was spent learning the ropes of how to care for, ride, train, breed and buy and sell the animals. There was always work to be done, and while Tár liked the horses, he felt penned in. He sought something more and wound up joining the military, as many 'seeking more' are want to do. Most Runes in the military are recruited - Tár was one of the few that sought it out first.

Tár excelled in his training, though tapping into the basic parts of himself - the strengh and endurance - seemed to bring even more of the independence out. His superiors had to reign him in, keep him in line and keep an eye on him constantly. Meeting Torbjörn Grímsson one war did two things for Tár - at first it brought out the very worst in him. Then it introduced him to a level of control he never realised he had. Tár found himself having to keep Torbjörn in line - no one else was capable of it. Their relationship was ever changing. Were they friends or enemies? Who was in control? Either way, when it came to battle, they weren't easily seperated - they were both amazing fighters and the only competition each other really had. Tár wound up marrying Torbjörn's sister with whom he has two children - a son and daughter. He missed some important milestones in his children's life due to the war - his daughter, Jovina, especially seemed so different to him when it was over. He decided that he had served enough and seen enough and returned home to his family and the horses.
