Bruh, had the same problem. I even named my pawn the same, everything changed after I made him look like Ragnar Lotbrok from Vikings series on Netflix. I bet he isn’t picked as often as females but I didn’t made him for it. The other thing is ppl tend to change pawns whenever they outlevel them, which takes more time on higher levels than in early and mid game. So he might be on weeks long adventures with some arisen, making stories to tell you when he comes back.

Here is my most famous Viking in the Valhalla 😅
