He and his companion, Örn "Eagle" Arnaldsson fled their native Iceland after escaping police custody, after having been arrested for murder. They settled with their families in the current region of Reykjavik, Manitoba. They were both farmers and friends with the famous poet Stephan G. Stephansson.
