Olaf Olafsson

"Whoa, you look almost as bad as my uncle Olaf! See a tree fell on him. Twice. And then he fell offa the tree."

Olaf Olafsson is a member of the Hafft's Landing City Watch, where he holds the rank of constable. Named for the hero Olaf the Mighty, Olaf "Comes from a long line of Olafs", and it is apparent that the name is shared by most of his male family. Possibly the female side too.

A little bit oblivious and not the sharpest spoon in the drawer, his heart is nevertheless usually in the right place.

Chapter 1: Cloak and Dagger
Olaf first encountered the Sewer Crabs when he accompanied Aeta Tideturner and Lisbeth Rand to the docks in Hafft's Landing, the location of a series of muggings that had taken place over the past weeks. He was able to identify a dagger belonging to the muggers as having northern (Juthron origin), providing another clue that the perpetrators were northmen.

Subsequently, Olaf provided support at a number of crime scenes visited by the Crabs, as well as guarding the watch house cells and the large number of suspects brought in. He later helped restrain Urko from attacking Tost when the former was brought into protective custody.

Later, Olaf was one of the members of the watch who helped Markus resist Arjan's attempt to shut down the investigation, helping the Sewer Crabs escape the watch house and Arjan's bribed guardsmen. He was heavily injured in the fighting, but later recovered and went back to working with the watch.
