Hilfheim commanded one of  the fishing boats (surface vessel) of the Elhir clan.

Hilfheim who had been beaten and humiliated in a tavernfight by Greifen, plotting revenge ambushed an Olafson warrior at the same tavern and decided to bring

the beaten man to the Ragnarsson Rock (The Elhir -Olafson Incident). While doing so,they ran into Eric and Gansbaf got into a sword fight with Eric Olafson.

Marking Eric's very first real sword fight.

Eric wounded Gansbaf seriously by almost severing the arm of the young warrior.

In the ensuing events, Gansbaf received sub standard first aid and bled to death. (Making Gansbaf also the first men Eric killed. Without Eric knowing that for years)

Gansbaf was survived by his wife Gudrun, and his daughter Lizabeth.
