Gullveig and her twin brother, Brynjulfr, stepped out of the Cursed Tree together -- but as far as typical twin siblings go, they are nothing of the sort. The twins loathe each other, and while equally matched, each is in a continuous competition to out-do the other in all things. There may be once or twice when the pair team up to take town a particularly troublesome foe, but as soon as they accomplish what they've set out to do, they instantly turn on each other again. It's an endless pull of sibling attachment and hate; they can't stand each other but also feel drawn to each other at the same time. They share similar beliefs and killing methods as well, finding attraction to symbols of power, painting their bodies with gold and sometimes adorning golden jewelry. They each have a cave filled of their treasures, each one torn from the dead bodies of their victims -- some with flesh still hanging on. As for Gullveig herself, she is a malevolent creature with a thirst for destruction in all it's various manifestations. Death is not the cause of all suffering, after all, even if she may favour it. She also enjoys causing the downfall of soquili, ruining their relationships, their homes, their beliefs -- all that they hold sacred until they have nothing left but to beg for their deaths -- a release from their pain that Gullveig will not always grant. It is her sole drive; she does not stop to ask 'why', merely following her pure instincts driving toward the massacre of all that is good in the world.
