Colby Franknorth

Colby Franknorth is the narrator in the first part of The Battle for the North. He has hair that is dirty blond and he never seems to comb it, and he is one of the main characters in the first series. He is thirteen years old in the first book, and fourteen by the end of it. He was chosen by the dokkalfar or dark elves to be spared in a cell while the rest of his family is executed, but the whole family manages to escape with a few new allies, Mortimer the gargoyle and Vaskr the dark elf. He fights Dirthrundil the Lesser Fire Dragon of Britannia after leaving the Sgarbh Breac, or Ramator as the Dark Elves call it. After defeating the dragon, he and his family move on to reclaim the Svartmen, or Black Diamond from the army of dark elves and to save Iceland from Ragnarok.
