found this in Narcissus of Chains:
Bolverk: its a position that most lukoi packs dont use anymore. its considered oen of the names of Odin that means "Worker of Evil." sort of like the assassin or someone who does the "dirty work" for the Ulfric.
the Bolverk has three little helpers: Baugi, Suttung, and Guunlod.
in Narcissus of Chains:
"Do you know what a Bolverk means?" Richard asked softly.
"It's one of the names of Odin. It means worker of evil." My voice was almost as soft as his.
(skipping a few paragraphs)
[...] My pulse had sped up. I couldn't help it. Bolverk was the title for what amounted to someone who did the Ulfric's evil deeds. It could be anything from trickery, to lies, to murder.
(skips a few more)
"If I made you Bolverk..." He stopped. I wanted to yell at him to finish, but I didn't dare. All I could do was sit there, very still, and try not to do anything tht would change his mind.
He startd over. "If I made you Bolverk, what would you do?" That last was soft again, as if he couldn't quite believe he was saying it.
I let out a breath I hadn't even realized I was holding and tried to think. Think before I spoke, because I'd only get one shot at this. I knew Richard and if what I said didn't meet with his approval, the offer would go away, and he might never be willing to ask for this kind of help again. I'd seldom been so eager to speak and so afraid at the same time. I rpayed for wisdom, diplomacy, help.
"First, you'd need to announce my new title to the pack, then I'd choose some helpers. I'm allowed three, Baugi, Suttung, and Guunlod."
Richard said, "The two giants [Baugi and Suttung] Bolverk tricked to get the mead of poetry, and Guunlod, the gian'ts daughter, who he seduced for it."
"Yes."
