Gunnar was a Fremennik barbarian from a nomadic mountain tribe. He left his larger tribe with his friends and their families to find a new home.[1]

Gunnar is known to have led the Runecrafting Crusades around Kandarin and Asgarnia.[2] He is also responsible for the slaughter of the Imcando dwarves.[3] After losing a significant amount of his army, he settled west of Avarrocka near the River Lum, now known as the Barbarian Village. Although the initial plan was to lay low in order to continue attacking again soon[4], they buried their hatchet with rune-users and now coexist peacefully.[5]

Gunnar is a direct ancestor of Gunthor the Brave, the current chieftain of the Barbarian Village.[6]

It is sad to see them go, but we do not prevent them; we live here in our village because we love this life - we do not force it on those whom it does not suit."
