Halgard Arvig

Halgard Arvig is a villain in the video game SpellForce: The Order of Dawn.

History
Halgard is a skilled fighter and a high-ranking military leader of house Utran. Despite his face never being shown, the Rune Warrior describes him as a "scarred man with hard, cold eyes". Even the Rune Warrior recalls Halgard as a skilled opponent, who brutally fights with sword and shield.

Despite his allegiance to House Utran, Halgard is a traitor and in league with the invading Black Fist mercenaries. When the Black Fist arrives at the Shiel, the area of Nortander which is held by House Utran, Halgard poisons the Utran leaders and flees with the wife of Lord Commander Tynar. After raping her, he murders her and flees to the Wildland Pass, where the main camp of the Black Fist is located. In addition to murdering Tynar's wife, Halgard also steals the Utran banner from Tynar's quarters to dishonor the Lord Commander. Halgard's treason allows the Black Fist to conquer the Shiel and the Utran Fortress.

When the Rune Warrior liberates the Shiel, he is informed by Lord Tynar that someone of House Utran has betrayed the House and has fled with the Utran banner and with Tynar's wife. The Rune Warrior promises to investigate.

During the Rune Warrior's attack on the Black Fist main camp at the Wildland Pass, the Rune Warrior encounters Halgard among Brannigan's chief lieutenants. The Rune Warrior is able to slay Halgard, avenging Tynar's wife and retrieving the Utran banner from Halgard's corpse.
