Näcken

Näcken is a simple man. He wakes up with the sun, works the bellows, then spends the evening playing his beloved violin. Despite the other villagers not appreciating his music and even bullying him, Näcken tries to keep smiling. Inspired by tales of sirens and other creatures that lured people in with music, he studied old folktales and learned of forbidden songs. One such song, as insidious as it is beautiful, can compell listeners to dance against their will. Näcken swore never to play such wicked melodies, but as the villagers treat him more and more cruelly... (Inspired by the character in Bramble: The Mountain King)
