Then glittered light
from Logafjoll,
And from the light
the flashes leaped;
High under helms
on heaven's field;
Their byrnies all
with blood were red,
And from their spears
the sparks flew forth.

Description

A valkyrie is traditionally an agent of Odin. The valkyries' purpose was to choose the most heroic of those who had died in battle and to carry them off to Valhalla where they became einherjar. This was necessary because Odin needed warriors to fight at his side at the preordained battle at the end of the world, Ragnarök.

The character fits this ideal by having died and joined the Halls of Valhalla before being drawn back to life by their companions. Those brought back are left with a blessing of Odin and are charged with collecting the souls of those that fall in battle. When the character yet again goes to Valhalla, the souls collected go with the character to also join the Hall.
