Jarl Ubba

"We will see how strong you are when I nail you to the bow of my ship. I will turn it north so you can watch your Control die in front of you".

―Jarl Ubba

Ubba Svafnirsson, also known as Jarl Ubba, was a Vrykul male champion, Jarl of the Tideskorn Outcasts and the secondary antagonist of the Return to Northrend campaign. The Outcasts refused to follow in the footsteps of another God-Queen or God-King and Ubba led them to join The Vrykul Fleet.

However, already disgruntled by the appointment of Drottinn Brunt by Lannael Ven'Renn; an Elven Mage and someone he considered to be a weak and absent outsider, Ubba was manipulated by his Champion, a warrior by the name of Skann, into returning his Tideskorn Outcasts to their fel-bound ways.

With his new power, Ubba was able to defeat Brunt in the ritual combat of De Stroggel and was poised to become the new Drottinn and ruler of the entire Fleet, which Skann intended to turn against The Lamplighters. However, thanks to the Agent's intervention, Ubba's fel powers were revealed during a second Stroggel, and Skann was equally uncovered to be their old and hated foe, the Nathrezim known as Terror'gar.

The dreadlord cut a deal with The Lamplighters and fled the Fleet, abandoning Ubba in the process. Now no longer able to draw from his master's power, he was overwhelmed in the duel and his opponent, Runt, beheaded him and claimed the title of Drottinn as his own.
