Chris Hind is a writer originally from Toronto. He began his career freelancing for pen and paper roleplaying games, including Land of Giants: Scandinavia & the Beowulf Saga in the Time of King Arthur. While working in the video game industry, he continued to research Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian legends.
