Ragnir Gunnstein

Ragnir Gunnstein, Squat Ammo-jack.

Ragnir Gunnstein is a Squat mercenary Ammo-jack currently living in the underhive of Hive Primus on the Hive World of Necromunda.

History

Ragnir Gunnstein was born a noble of the Mjolnir Stronghold on its homeworld of Valskalf and was destined to have his name written in the sagas of his people. On the eve of his one hundredth standard year, however, Ragnir fell into a fratricidal bloodfeud with a brother Hearthguard and was exiled from Mjolnir for all time.

As an itinerant wanderer, Gunnstein served as a mercenary under all manner of masters, but after many solar decades he found himself at the Ring of Selene void docks that orbit Necromunda. There he chose the wrong side in a feud between a House Goliath longshore gang and one of the many fanatical Cargo Cults for the rights to handle cargo passing through the vast zero-g freight halls.

Fleeing the ensuing chaos, he was very nearly eaten alive by an Ur-Ghul infestation, before being chased off-station by an angry heretek cult whose nascent techno-heresy he inadvertently exposed.

At that point, Gunnstein decided it was time to retire, and so he smuggled himself into Hive Primus and struck out for the underhive with the intention of setting himself up as a weaponsmith to fund what he hoped would be a very long and quiet old age. Of course, life rarely turns out as intended, and his retirement has proven every bit as eventful as his previous career.

Nonetheless, Gunnstein makes a comfortable living working with a variety of underhive gangs, his skill at maintaining weapons and his keen sense of honour ensuring his services are ever in high demand.

Despite his status as a hanger-on, Gunnstein rarely remains at the hideout while his current employers head out to fight and he is well-known for insisting on accompanying his latest friends into battle.

Few ever demand he remain at home, for even in his retirement Gunnstein is more than capable of teaching the youngsters a thing or two about fighting -- and he will always provide a surplus of ammunition before heading into action.
