JOUKAHAINEN
Finnish legendary mortal
Naïve young Sámi lad who challenged Väinämöinen to a singing contest
As a successful rock musician, Väinämöinen made short work of this upstart wannabe and tossed him into a bog. Which is where all boy bands eventually end up.
Joukahainen was forced to pledge his sister Aino’s hands and feet in marriage, but she didn’t think much of Väinämöinen’s style and drowned herself. Joukahainen later took his revenge by shooting Väinämöinen’s horse, sending him into the icy seas of Pohjola.
