Biography
Born among the people of Scandinavia, Brunhilde felt her Embrace a rebirth and quickly formed the valkyries who served her grandsire with fervor, believing themselves to be real extensions of the Nordic myths. She fought bravely against the encoraching influence of Christianity, trying to prevent any change from the barbarian ways of their people.
After 200 years of guerilla warfare against the other Cainites who had come with the invaders, Brunhilde entered Torpor. It was only the bloodshed of World War I that finally awoke her. She reformed the Valkyries as a group that longed for the return of the nights of paganism and warfare.
Following World War II, she encouraged Anarch activity in order to subvert the current sect system and undertook several terroristic attacks against the established democratic governments of Scandinavia, even assassinating the Swedish prime minister in 1986. She also supported Anarchs within the Free state, occasionally recruiting young Gangrel into the ranks of the Valkyrie.
