Personality[]
A stoic, Kulvo rarely allows his emotions to drive him. He is selfish, though he could be hardly described as a hedonist. His pleasure typically arises from the act of gaining power over others and the effect that it has on the people around him. He is extremely patient and typically very cautious. He respects authority when he knows that a given power structure will benefit him. He does not need the limelight, though he does enjoy it from time to time. Kulvo is deeply private and even under duress it is difficult to get a read on him, what he is thinking, what he is feeling. He would sell his grandma off if it pleased him, though he would hesitate to betray a friend, certainly as a businessman he values fair deals.

History[]
Kulvothreinmaar was the product of a rape following the Battle of Clontarf fought in 1014. His mother was a Viking shieldmaiden that had been estranged from her Viking partner that fought against her in the battle. She was held as a prisoner by his Irish peasant father. Kulvothreinmaar's mother finally escaped to Leinster, Ireland and gave up her child for care of a Viking community there. Raised an orphan Kulvothreinmaar never knew his mother and she died only a few years later in a raid in northern Ireland. The boy grew up a warrior fighting in numerous battles, including leading the capture of Dublin for the King of Leinster in 1052.
By this point the warrior had a partner, slaves, children and a farm and should have retired. However Kulvothreinmaar had yet to learn when enough was enough. He traveled with a contingent of Vikings to England with Harald Hardrada leading them. While successful, that was when Kulvothreinmaar met another Viking by the name of Winter. After a brief affair Kulvothrienmaar was set to return to Ireland. That was when Winter embraced him, killing him and giving him the gift of his blood to transform him into a Vampire.
The pair roamed Europe for a time, performing as mercenaries and leaving and rejoining their Viking ranks periodically. The centuries ran slow. They traveled to Rome and fought in the Battle of Civitate. They fought with Harald III in England in 1066 in the Battle of Fulford. The Battle of Tinchebray in 1106. In the 13th century they traveled to mainland Europe to intercept and destroy Crusaders. The blood-spilling continued late into the 15th century.
For two centuries Kulvothreinmaar was alone.
Eventually Kulvothreinmaar returned to Ireland searching for his past, though knowing none could be found. Instead he found the family of James Houghton, recently killed in the midst of a revolution. The Irish were rebelling against their English masters. Unfortunately to have a successful revolution like the one happening overseas the populace would have needed to hit a tipping point. Support for the revolution was high among farmers like James.
James had fallen into a movement called Ribbonism. Foolishly believing that the organization would help his fellow Irishmen become independent he became a member. They mostly were concerned with killing or hurting landlords that treated their farmer tenants poorly.
Kulvothreinmaar fell in love with James' widow. They tried to have a child and failed. After attempting a pact with a Witch his lover died in a demon childbirth. It struck Kulvo hard and he raged. After leading a riot to kill his own tenant and beheading the man in front of a crowd he gained some powerful enemies. Shortly afterward a hunter was hired to kill Kulvo and he very nearly did. In the exchange one of James' sisters was killed. Shortly afterward James' other sister left for England and he was left alone on the farm. With nothing left but a farm Kulvothreinmaar had little to think about except for his time with Winter.
Winter found Kulvo when he was at this state in his life, disillusioned and unhappy. Giada and Winter’s relationship had hit a rough patch. Giada, talented as she was, had not met Winter’s unreasonably high standards and he had become disappointed by her. As a joke he had told her that he could find a stable boy to train that could become a better doctor than Giada. Rather than find a stable boy he found Kulvothreinmaar. They reconnected and reentered the world stage.
Winter had found a new obsession. Instead of fighting he was interested in healing, or at least the act of it. Kulvothreinmaar had no interest in this, but Winter forced his hand. Kulvo trained to become a doctor and it quickly became apparent that Giada was much more talented. In fact it helped push Giada to outshine Winter. Kulvo resented her for that and Winter resented her for it, too.
The bond between Giada and Winter grew strong for a very long while and the one between Kulvo and the both of them was tenuous. He acted out and strove for attention and approval. He ran away a few times and started a few businesses, all which were either ruined all on their own or were sabotaged by either Winter or Giada. But eventually Kulvo managed to establish a thriving business on his own and at the same time Giada began to romance with a hunter. Kulvo became friends with the hunter over the course of a year and eventually betrayed him once he had won over his trust. He killed Giada's lover. The event caused Giada to leave both Kulvo and Winter and as a result Winter and Kulvo’s relationship became strained.
Without Giada the pair eventually fell back on romance. They reformed a bond that put Kulvo on the bad end of an abusive relationship. Winter isolated Kulvo from others, made decisions in Kulvo’s life on his behalf, and continually moved between stages of disapproval and obsession with Kulvo. Eventually Kulvo could not take it and he left, changing his name again in the process. He left for America and started up a business there, becoming quite successful on his own, however it also left him alone in a new land.
Over time Kulvo was able to amass a good deal of wealth and at present owns a number of corporations, some real and some fronts for illegal activity. It took time for Giada to find him but eventually she tracked him down and asked for him to help with a clinic she was running in Clifton Forge. Kulvo bought the clinic and moved to Clifton Forge [*]. A short while later, perhaps sensing his two children had found each other once more, Winter came to live in Clifton Forge.
A short while after Giada met her end by her own hand and burned to death by the dawn of the sun. Winter left at about the same time leaving Kulvothreinmaar alone in the city with no soul to wander.
Other Information[]
- Owns Accelerator International. Kulvo is listed as the CEO. It is incorporated in Wilmington, DE, USA [*]. The company was formed in 2012 and owns several other, older companies, each in different fields; one is in pharmaceuticals and is called Forerunner Medical; another is in logistics called Altitude Trucking; a third company is in real estate and is called Brannon Square [***].
- Several subsidiaries of these companies are involved in criminal activity, although no activity is coordinated enough to as of yet be the target of an investigation. Many complaints have been filed, and bribes paid to bleed attention from these complaints. Some examples of this activity includes money laundering, trafficking, and smuggling. [***]
- Several of the companies that are now owned by Accelerator International were once owned by a similar company called Presidential Foundries which was primarily concerned with the production of steel but owned smaller enterprises just as its successor [***]. This company was also led by a Kulvothreinmaar from about 1940 to 1970 [**].
- No criminal record.
- Legal name is Kulvothreinmaar, though some documents will show Kulvothreinmaar as one name, some will show Kulvo Threinmaar [**]. Social security cards with the name Kulvothreinmaar appear at least 3 times since 1900 [***].
- Kulvothreinmaar appears to be a mix of Dutch, Celtic, and Finnish. There does not appear to be a meaning to the word, or if there was the meaning was lost. If pressed a linguist might hazard a guess after a few bottles of wine and say that it means "skinless locomotive" [**].
- Rumor is Kulvo's finishing move is ripping off the arms, sticking a straw in and drinking it like a slushie.
- A rigorous search for Culvo Thrinemar might find a blurry video from 1976 that shows with a similar appearance to the real Kulvothreinmaar playing the piano at a funeral for a Margret Beaulieu, a prominent businesswoman and the second female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The song being played is Bach's "Little" Fugue in G minor. [***] [1]
