Pre History
Born into an upper class Norwegian family, Vegard enjoyed a privileged childhood. His father practice ancient rituals in the belief it helped him become a successful businessman. A fortune-teller his father took him to as a child predicted Vegard would one day face a great evil that would arise from within. Fearful for his safety, Vegard's parents put him through rigorous academic and physical training. The pressure of his parent's expectance and the dark destiny predicted by the gypsy forced him to become withdrawn. Though he could deal with the outside world at times, often Vegard stayed to himself, mulling over his dark thoughts. A brutal student of Tae Kwan Do, no other students dared face him for fear of injury. Vegard had a fascination with a mask kept in his father's art collection -- an iron mask depicting the face of a violent, confused soul. Vegard stole the mask and wandered the world. He wore the mask more and more until eventually he was only comfortable with it on. Finding his way to Drasuka, Vegard was invited to fight in an underground tournament. He accepted eagerly.
