As is the case for many Norn, Sverre wandered the world to further his legend. Over decades of hunting, the brutal Norn berserker has slain countless wurms, beasts, and legends. Seeking to further his legend, he publicly challenged the Zaishen, and through victory after victory, became their new champion. When Balthazar returned, Sverre's position quickly endeared him to the god of war. Sverre became one of Balthazar's three champions. He took to his new role eagerly, brushing aside the swaths of Elonan dead as a weakness to be pushed aside on the path to glory.
(Notes on the look)
The black coloring of the cloak and cloth parts of the outfit were selected to conceal an unfortunate clipping issue in the backs of the greaves. It ended up working out well, as the raven-feathers of the Whispers helm and the dark beard were later added to complement this.
