Persona History:

Sven is a 10th century Viking Merhant-ary and is the 3rd son of the Yarl. During his youth he became famous for his fighting in the sun lands to the west and for his food - which he sold far and wide. He frequently traded and was often found in Birka, Ribe and Gotland but was a native of none. To prevent issues he has never revealed exactly where he is from or which Jarl he descends from...

Superpower - He has the uncanny ability to sense when isolated houses are about to catch fire.
