Roon was the son of Osric. He was a master hunter, a giant of a man, had a magnificent beard, and liked mead. For centuries his house near Shipbreaker Pass in Finland (Shipbreaker Fjord), had served as his private hunting ground. He owned 2 other hunting grounds not far from his main home. On all of his properties he bred extremely dangerous game. People came to him to become his apprentice huntsmen. He told no one his secret. On the hunts some of the men perished, but others still arrived.
