I love the idea that the mythological hero Ahti Saarelainen one day retires from seafaring adventure and spends his days cleaning up in an eldritch location.
I specifically want Remedy to not expose his past. Mystery is what keeps the lore interesting. On a tangential note, this is why I will never forgive Chris fucking Chibnall for retconning The Doctor’s origins in Doctor Who’s later seasons.
And none of that was spoilered. Stating that a character is in a movie or a game is not a spoiler. Dumbledore being a part of a harry potter movie is not a spoiler.
Oh wow I love Control and had no idea about this mythology. Didn’t even think to look more into him. Just figured he was the wise old janitor that knew more and was more important than he let on
Unfortunately much of Finnish mythology comes from a single source, the Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot, which was written long after christian missionaries polluted the folklore. It’s an interesting mythology, and very distinct from the surrounding Germanic faiths.

Fuck the people who hired him. Chibnall was a known quantity.
Ahti shows up in Alan Wake 2, too.

Hows that a spoiler?

You would expect him to be in Harry Potter, you wouldn’t expect him to be in an entirely different franchise.
“DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS?” Dumbledore asked calmly.
Control and alan wake are the same universe?!?! Has nobody played the game?

The Canine Kalevela is a fun way to read it to kids. Really fun illustrations.
My headcanon is that he’s the owner bound to the Oldest House.
I wonder if the Astral Plane charges property tax?
