The English had always whispered about the skinchangers among the Norse. The English used the word "werewulf" to describe it, though the Norse had always called such people "varúlfur" or " ulfhéðinn", which meant 'one in wolf-skin.' No matter what the name, people were terrified of the Norse who could shapeshift, whispering in the dark about how they would turn into massive wolves or bears to tear out throats on the battlefield or eat people alive in their homes.
Ivar was a born werewolf from a long line of werewolves. It was a dominant trait that popped up in all of Ragnar's sons. His legs weren't healed in the form, though were a bit stronger as the healing facor in his body continuously tried to repair the damage, rendering him lame rather then completely unable to walk. He was utterly vicious as wolf, beautiful to look and just as certain to tear the arm off someone in a fight.
When he'd captured Heahmund, he was captivated by the man. All he wanted was to make sure he'd stay forever. So of course to satisfy his selfish desire Ivar had bitten and turned the man. Being an Alpha wolf, it gave him direct control over Heahmund. Now unable to return to the side of the English, the bishop was forever bound to Ivar's will. Ivar was sitting with him, for he'd been giving him the silent treatment ever since he'd bitten him.
His tone was coaxing and wheedling. "Come now. You're going to have to learn how to control your wolf form from me. None of my men will bother teaching you and you'll transform whether you like it or not when the next full moon comes around."
