Crispus Attucks is an escaped slave and the first man killed during the Boston Massacre. After his death, he became an Einherji and taken to Hotel Valhalla and eventually became a Thane.

History[]

Attucks was born in Farmington, Massachusetts in or around 1723. Around this time he was enslaved by a man named Deacon William Brown. By the winter of 1770, he was either freed or a run away working at the docks in Boston. On the day of the Boston Massacre, he was the first death.

After dying, he was taken to Valhalla and eventually became a thane.
