"The Njuggle"
Set in OTL
Type of Appearance: Direct
Nationality: Scotland, United Kingdom
Date of Birth: 1850s

Donald and his brothers Magnus and Johnnie lived in Shetland. They were deep-sea fishermen, working for their uncle Einar Haruldsoun, and his sons. In 1875, a storm killed Einar's eldest sons (Magnus' cousins) and badly injured his grandfather, Olav Larsen. Einar's remaining son, Rasmus, began fishing with the family.[1]

Donald, like Johnnie, showed respect for Olav's knowledge of folklore, although he was taciturn in general. Magnus was overtly skeptical; Johnnie boxed Magnus' ears when they were alone to insure Magnus was respectful.[2]
