Long, straight, light blond hair and pale blue eyes. 5'4", 120lbs. Very tall and muscular for an elf, though wiry rather than bulging. Covered with scars, and has one blue eye and one brown eye. Wears grey and black traveling clothing with Boots of Striding and Leaping, and always has his Elven Chain on under his clothes (see Items of Note). Carries a long sword and a short sword as well as several knives and a short bow. Often wears a bandolier of darts.

Raised in Norway by human foster parents. Traveled from Kebnegard to America, then back. Hacked the One-Year Dungeon, then departed for a time. Was duplicated at least once by a magic mirror, possibly creating Hymnar, Attigot, Gwiddean and one other clone killed by Throkians. Was beaten and robbed by Lord Evelake. Took the name Lucretius and rejoined the party. Was captured by Throkians and tortured, including having his left eye put out. Rescued by Jean-Claude, Hannah, Ido, and Wirshin. Revealed himself to be Harald. Member of the Following Alexander Party. Rescued the many Princesses held in the Castle of Maidens. Defeated Yodat and her friends, then married Miriam. Crowned King Harald I of Abyssinia. Deposed by a bunch of jerks, then made Duke of Eritrea. Grew back his eye using a scroll of Life Water. Cursed with Space AIDS by the god Ammon. Beat the Fatimid Caliph at polo and took the Umayyad Caliph on his first adventure. Returned a bunch of the Maidens, gathering goodwill all over the world. Opened the Tomb of the Magdalene, put his hands into the amphora of blood-soaked earth, and converted from Loki worship to Christianity(nondenominational). Consulted with the Greae and stole one of the Golden Apples of Immortality from an ancient five-headed chromatic dragon, which cured his Space AIDS and rejuvenated him. Killed Throk, and took his evil, evil teeth. After having his alignment changed drastically by said teeth, turned the bones of the Fatimid Caliph to jelly. Died, has the teeth removed, and made amends with the Caliph. Won the Lau Tournament, defeating Lord Evelake in the thrilling final.
