Einherjar candidate: D.B. Cooper

D.B. Cooper
The pseudonym used by a notorious airplane hijacker who, after receiving a $200,000 cash ransom payout in 1971, jumped from the back of the commercial airliner that he had hijacked and was never seen again.  The Cooper case remains unsolved.

Moxie: +6
Wit: +3
Male, Sane, Dishonorable

Special ability: On only one occasion, D.B. Cooper’s owner may announce that Cooper is hijacking another Valkyrie.  The attempt is automatically successful.  D.B. Cooper’s owner then rolls 1DICE80 (yes, eighty), then adds the result to her own Acorns and subtracts the result from another Valkyrie’s Acorns (even if that brings that Valkyrie’s Acorns below zero).  D.B. Cooper then dies (if “Graveyard” has passed) or is removed from the gamestate.  D.B. Cooper may only exercise this ability if D.B. Cooper owns a device called “Parachute” (which means that the parachute would also disappear along with Cooper).
