Hedgar is the oldest son. He was the extra father in the family, taking care of the youngest whenever there were need. He is a great story teller and in the evenings he may sit by the cabin fire telling stories from earlier games or epic tales from distant lands.
Hedgar is a blacksmith and his work is known for its lowish quality in the villages around the mountain cabin. He, however, did his best when forging the armors needed for the team.
He was the first one to master the Guard skill, learning it after the team's 3rd game. He will show the boys some Guard tips and tricks going forward.
In his 7th game he was first to learn how to strike with a Mighty Blow, paving the way for his younger brothers again. In game 37 he mastered how to Stand Firm.

There is a curse on Barin and his ancestors. This is the 3rd generation of the Barin line and the family wish him a long life! Barin III is filling the gap after Barin II was killed by a Norse team.
Living the most of his life without a father, Barin has turned out to be a great risk taker. He gladly stands on the LOS feeling the thrill and heat of the central action on the pitch. He has not known anything else than playing Blood Bowl and has never been productive in any way.
In his third game a broken neck made him somewhat less agile. After the worst game in the team's history, when Mrs. Longbeard was killed he finally learned his first skill, Guard. In game 41 he smashed his hip making him slow even for a dwarven blocker.

Drong is the third son in the family. He is an adventurer and left home in young age to see the world. When he heard about the plan about a family team he found that adventurous enough to return. In his backpack he had rare golden items giving the team the finacial strength it needed to get started.
In the team's 14th game he finally got it. Now he knows how to Guard. After the 19th game he showed a talent for special agility moves and learned Diving Tackle. After the disaster game 33 he got a fractured skull. That injury did made him live in the gym, giving him some extra strength after game 41.

Aldin is the fouth son in the family and the only one with talent for music. When he is singing to his lute alone on stage he is the dwarf women's favourite. He hopes that the same is true after a game of Blood Bowl.
It took a while for Aldin to gain his first skill, Guard. He grasped it his 16th game and the team's 17th. After game 40 he mastered Dauntless.

Zamnil the fifth son in the family and a hard working guy. Before the team joined the box he was a well known leather worker and shoe maker. The rumor says that he was the one making the shoes for the high prince of Moria. Anyway, guess who made the shoes for the team. Let's hope they help the team to trip less when they go for it. One thing is sure, they keep Zamnil firm on the ground.
He learned the art of Guard just after the oldest brother. In the team's 11th match he also learned the Mighty Blow skill. After the 27th game he was the first in the family to learn how to Stand Firm and after game 40 he learned how to do Diving Tackle.
In his 30th game he got an injury that looks like it will never fully heal.

Dimgol is son number six in the family. He joined the army in his youth and has lived though some battels and castle seiges in his career. Maybe those years gave him the ability to, without fear, take on strong and mighty foes on the pitch.
Over and over again, he reminds his team mates that they need to keep themselves together to be effective on the pitch, also a lesson learned from the ranks of the battle field. Sometimes he would like to bring his sharp double axe to a match, but Mr. Longbeard firmly forbids it. Instead he uses it to trim his long beard.
In his and the team's seventh game he learned how to Guard his team mates. Later in game 13 he mastered the Mighty Blow skill. In the 20th game he learned the Dauntless skill. After the 32nd game he managed to get how to do Diving Tackle.

Orek is the 7th son. Before the family started a full time career in Blood Bowl he worked as a teacher in the villige down the valley south of the mountain cabin. Now, he is responsible for the team's finances and bookkepping, so his math skills are still useful. So far, the new lifestyle has been a great success for the family's living standard.
Orek likes to be the underdog and blocks bigger and stronger foes without hesitation. He often tries to help his brothers overcoming the fear beasts and big guys on the training grounds.
He learned the guard skill in the teams 6th game. In the 9th he learned how to strike mighty blows. Well done Orek. After the team's 15th game he learned the Dauntless skill and after game 28 he mastered the art of Stand Firm. He was the first of the sons to reach both three and four skills.

Mordred is the son number eight in the family. He left the family to be the city runesmith apprentice at age five. The master runesmith was killed while failing a good health rune tattoo on his own arm and Mordred found himself without a master. When Mrs. Longbeard called him home, he returned without hesitation.
While Mordred does his best to use his skills to give the team good fortune he does not allways succed. When however one of the Longbeards succed to make that interception or that hard dodge, be sure Mordred had some luck in his rune creation.
After the team's 9th game where he caused a CAS, intercepted a pass and scored a TD he also learned the guard skill. What a game and what an indication on what runes can do for you!
In the team's 15th game he learned how to make Mighty Blow.

Fodrin is the youngest son in the family. He is the team's mascot and a real joker. After a loss Fodrin is the one who keeps a good spirit and he often helps them to forget the hurt pride and focus on the next task.
When 20 of 22 shoes are tied togeather in the dressing room, all know who did it. Fodrin however is a master denyer and planter of false evidence. Maybe he could be a master Dirty Player och Sneaky Gitter one day.
Being the youngest he seem to be a slow starter. It took him over 25 games to learn a new skill. Finally in the 26th game he learned the Guard skill. No so well done Fodrin!
After that first skill he learned Mighty Blow in game 32. Well done.

Mr. Longbeard's plan for a family blood bowl team is now, at last, a reality. Raising nine sons has taken its toll, however it has also giving him some much needed speed and agilty. Of course he wants himself in the centre of the action and will function as the main blitzer.
In order to provide for the family Mr. Longbeard worked as a wood cutter. He hated his job more than anything in his life. Short after his dream was happening and the team was up an running an accident involving a falling tree, a double axe and his boss shocked the community. Anyway, Mr. Longbeard was never seen cutting trees again outside a Blood Bowl field.
After the team's 8th game he learned how to strike a Mighty Blow from the eldest son. After the 11th match and his first TD he learned Piling On as well.
After the 16th game he showed some talent in the art of Dodge.
In the 24th game he caused two CAS, made one TD and was rightly chosen as the MVP. After that game he picked up the Guard skill. What a game!
After game 29 he learned how to Tackle, making the team a fully tackle team.

Giving birth to nine guys with long beard she is not as tough as the rest of the family. However, running after those same kids has kept her fast and agile, making her the natural ball carrier.
Mrs. Longbeard has shown excellent understanding of how to win Blood Bowl matches and is the playing coach of the team. She tells the boys what to do in the dressing room as well as on the pitch.
Her plans often involve herself as the one making the TD. Some says that's her way to compensate for all the years of putting the son's first. On the other hand noone else seem to get how to handle the ball.
In the team's 37th game she learned how to Dodge and in the 39th she mastered Block. After game 42 she started to remember her Leader skills.
