History
Much is unknown of Ulin as he was only recorded following his meeting of Alnair. The two met when Alnair had first been afflicted with the curse. Ulin offered to bite off his head if it would ease his passing, but Alnair convinced him to take him somewhere safe. Later Ulin arrives at the Nalgumora (Final Peak) to watch Alnair's confrontation of Valir Odanos, also there to challenge him with his kin. After seeing Alnair's incredible skill and then mercy by sparing Valir and reviving the Sky Spirit, Ulin agreed to be an ally of Alnair. The pair bonded closely over the next several years to the point where Ulin pledged his blood pack to the Vanadun in partnership.

Ulin participated in the Vanadun Revolution, the Battle of Redfalls and the Battle of the Darkwood.
