Hallr was a dragon-blooded Aesir. He was also Maja's mate and the father of Halvden.
Information[]
Description[]
Hallr was a yellow-green gryfon with yellow eyes.
Personality[]
While both Hallr and his son are arrogant, these traits were much more exaggerate in Hallr as he was incapable of the redemption his son possessed. He also had no qualms killing several pure blooded-vanir kits
including at least 2 kits who would later on become his step-children.[1] He also forced Maja, the kit's mother and now widow into marrying him much to the latter's dismay.[2] It appears that his relationship with his biological son was poor/nonexistent on his part. One example of this was Hallr criticizing Halvden for losing to Shard. In the short story ‘’A Mighty Name’’ Hallr was revealed to have no qualms subjecting Halvden to verbal abuse during the latter’s youth. According to Halvden, Hallr was an authoritarian father who constantly demeaned Halvden for his Vanir ancestry.[3]
Role[]
During his stay on Windwater, Hallr is the main enemy of Rashard. He constantly belittles and mocks Shard's leadership, and at one point tried to kill Shard. It is later revealed that he wished to become Sverin's wingbrother. According to Caj, Hallr never had a Wingbrother of his own.

Hallr was born to a gryfon named Havard, and it is unknown what his mother's name was.

He killed Maja's old mate and her kits before forcing her to mate with him. He was given a son whom he named Halvden. During the events of the series, Hallr was rude towards Shard and Caj, who often tried to stop these events. More flying in soon! |
In The Summer King Chronicles Arc[]
Song of the Summer King[]
Hallr is one of the gryfons that Sverin sent to Windwater. This could possibly mean that Sverin didn't like Hallr, as Windwater was a disguised exile. On the first day, Hallr tried to organize patrols and such, but Shard stopped him, telling him that they needed to learn the secrets of Star Isle instead. He is also the reason that Shard started meeting with Stigr, as if Hallr didn't continuously challenge Shard, the Vanir would never have learned of his true heritage. Hallr strongly believed that Halvden should lead the settlement, and was the one who revealed to Shard that Caj didn't kill Shard's father. Hallr was killed by Helaku when the green gryfon tried to hunt the wolves who watched the Daynight flights. Hallr's death gave Sverin the opportunity to openly declare war on the wolves.
Halvden was heavily affected by his father's death, and many of his later choices would be driven by revenge.
Skyfire[]
Hallr is mentioned by Sverin, when he tells Kjorn that Halvden had the shame of his mother and the death of his father to overcome. Hallr is also mentioned by Shard when he thinks about how he and Orn have the same build and similar feather coloring. It is revealed that Hallr is from the clan of Ingmar.
A Shard of Sun[]
While tracking a mentally-ill Sverin, Havlden reveals to Caj that Hallr once told him that to leave the heart open is to die, as the heart is the weakest part of a warrior and merely an organ.

Relationships[]
Halvden[]
While Halvden looks up to his father and cares deeply for him, Hallr doesn't seem to return the favor as he not seen showing any affliction towards the latter and argues with him on why he lost to Shard even though it wasn't Havlden's fault that he lost the spar to the latter. When Hallr is killed by Helaku, Halvden is devastated and swears vengeance on the wolves for what they did to Hallr.
Maja[]
Despite being his mate, they never got along. They didn't like or loved each other. Hallr only mated with Maja for personal reasons rather out of affiliation. When Hallr died Maja didn't miss him one bit and was rather relived that she was no longer mates with an obnoxious gryfon especially one who killed her ex-mate along with their original kits[1].
Rashard[]
Despite Sverin appointing Shard as the leader of Windwater settlement, Hallr refused to respect Shard as his leader or even as an individual. Hallr believes that his son should be the leader of the colony and constanly tries to usurp and undermine Shard with little success.
Caj[]
- Caj also dislikes Hallr for the latter's arrogance and cruelty. Caj didn't miss Hallr when Helaku killed the latter.
Sverin[]
Sverin apparently disliked Hallr as he sent him to live in Windwater which is secretly an exile for males the Red King disliked.
