Avenger has a quiet, independent personality. He never whinnies, or nickers to other horses and is often alone grazing in the pasture. He's not nervous or skittish, just quiet and confident and somber. Undersaddle, he is focused on his rider but is not afraid to show an attitude if he does not like what his rider is doing. He requires an experienced rider. 

History: Avenger was one of the last foundation Nordanners imported from Skagenrak before the breed's whole world fell apart and they escaped to Aleria. Thankfully he never had to experience the trama and stress of the wild Nordanners. 
Instead, Avenger was bought by a stable, but before he had time to settle in, someone lit the barns on fire and all the horses had to be evacuated. The stable couldn't afford to keep the horses anymore, not with all the barns and fields torched, so Avenger was sold again. 
A kind gentleman from sVa purchased him. Try as he might, he could never really get through to the horse. Sure he was a good mount, but there was something eery about the stallion, a certain fierceness that the Shekinah Valley had never seen before. It put anyone who was near the horse ill at ease. Eventually, the grooms, handlers and riders stopped messing with Avenger. He was turned out to pasture, where he would be safe and looked after, but never handled. 
That is where he remained for nearly a year, until one morning a young man named Peter showed up at sVa looking for a horse. The older gentleman showed him around the stables, but Peter needed a specific horse, though he wouldn't tell the older man why or for what. They strolled to the pastures, where Peter laid eyes in the ghostly grey stallion among the trees, watching them from the shadows. "What about that one?" Peter pointed to Avenger. "Lad, if you can catch that one, you can have that one."
And that's exactly what he did.
