After school he became a mercenary always siding with whoever could afford him while becoming a black belt Maui Thai martial artist. His more famous alias came from the fact that Ragnar would prefer to take on his opponents in hand to hand and become covered in their blood. Although from time to time some of it would become his. While he would never be a big name like say Wade Wilson, Ragnar became accomplished in his own right.<br/>His last job had Ragnar being hired by a mobster as a bodyguard for his daughter Christina, because he didn't trust any of his family to protect her. As time went on the two eventually became lovers away from the prying eyes of her father. One day when they were out on their weekly shopping trip, the pair were attacked by the a rival family. Try as he might Ragnar was overpowered and taken along with Christina to a hidden lab. There he found out that the rival family worked for Mr. Sinister by bringing people for his experiments. He tried to protect Christina one last time, but only succeeded in have her die in his arms. Ragnar himself hovered on the brink of death for days afterward before his latent mutant abilities manifested and he made his first shift into a hellhound. Death hovered in the air that night as the raging beast tore through the lab killing all he came across.<br/>Tracking down the crime family that captured him and Christina Ragnar found that the place was deserted but another figure came and his life changed that night....<br/><br/><br/><em>The full moon shined down at the figure standing in front of open gates. He had spent weeks going through the Gaccione safe houses until he finally found the information he was looking for. The light reflected off of blue eyes that were as cold as ice as long brown hair whipped around his shoulders in the wind that had come up. Slowly his footsteps took Ragnar past the gates and into the main courtyard... That was about the closest thing it could be called anyways as it was huge along with the mansion that housed his new greatest enemies. Or should have perhaps because it seemed somebody else beat him to it.<br/><br/>    Bodies lay in the grass probably where they had fallen and the green was wet with blood. Squatting next to a corpse Ragnar studied the body carefully only to find no bullets did the deed, so he doubted it was a rival. His guess that this Sinister had decided that the Gaccione family had outlived their usefulness and rubbed them out. In doing so it had also robbed Ragnar the Bloody of part of his own vengeance. A growl came from deep in the man's throat before it had turned into a scream of rage.<br/><br/>    Suddenly Ragnar whipped about feeling a presence, "Show yourself!" Surprisingly the figure wasn't on the ground but landed from the sky... She was a beauty of ebony skin and white hair. A skintight black uniform with gold accents graced the lithe form, but his eyes were drawn to hers for another reason... They were pure white. As Ragnar watched they slowly turned back to their normal color even as his own eyes went from blue ice to amber and took on a more reptilian appearance. Silence fell around them as they looked at each other.<br/><br/>   Finally the woman spoke, "I'm Ororo also known as Storm... I come to offer you a place in the X-Men..."</em><br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br/><br/>A little known fact about the mercenary known as Ragnar the Bloody is that he tattooed a rune after every successful mission though after Christina passed away due to the experiment he took to branding them onto his body. In his mind his one greatest failing was when Cristina died in his arms. To this effect he has become withdrawn and fights with a recklessness as he doesn't care of injuries that he sustains in battle. Always ruthless when fighting this has also increased as well. Ragnar still worships the Norse gods and claims Tyr as his patron.<br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong><br/><br/>Ragnar is an accomplished mercenary and in his years he has become a near expert in firearms. He also has a black belt in Maui Thai and is at home with a blade or hand to hand. His standard equipment usually consists of a simple K-BAR knife and his custom made fingerless gloves complete with metal spikes protruding from the knuckles.<br/><br/><strong>KNOWN ENEMIES:</strong>Mr. Sinister<br/>
