Mental characteristics
Personal history
As a young man, he gained a reputation as one of the most skilled warriors among the Aesir. However, he also had a reputation as a bragard and a hot-head.
He was a regular drinking companion of the young princes, Odin and Cul. When he began boasting of his cleverness, Cul wagered him that he could not steal Jarnbjorn, the weapon of Brün, the leader of the Valkyior.
Sigurd accomplished the task, seducing Brün and taking the axe while the slept.
Before Sigurd could return the axe, the Valkyrior were called up to battle. When Brün, forced the fight with an unfamiliar weapon, was mortally wounded, she placed a curse on Sigurd with her dying breath, swearing that he would die an ignominious and dishonorable death, and she would meet him in the afterlife to revenge herself upon him.
When the surviving Valkyries told him of the curse, Sigurd became detirmined to find a way to become immortal, so that the curse would never be triggered and he would not lose his honour.
Slaying Fafnir
After many years of searching, he heard tales of the Dragon, Fafnir. Knowing that the heart of a dragon could make a man unmortal, he sought out the dragon.
The night before the battle, he stayed the night with Regin Hriedmarson, who, unbeknownst to Sigurd, was Fafnir's brother. Hoping the legendary warrior would finally be able to end his brother's curse, he gifted Sigurd with the sword Gram, which he had originally forged with the intention of using it to kill Loki (who he had met via time travel).
After a long and brutal battle, he slew Fafnir, and cut out his heart, returning to the home of Regin to roast it.
For three days and three nights he tended the fire as the heart roasted. Just as it was ready, a magpie appeared at the window. The sword Gram, drenched in the blood of Fafnir, had inherited Andvari's curse and now revealed hidden truths, including the speach of birds. The magpie warned him that Regin intended to kill him and take the heart for his own.
Sigurd slew Regin, and ate the heart, becoming unmortal.
Ignominy and Immortality
Over the centuries that followed, Sigurd committed many deeds, some great, some terrible, all legendary. He was eventually imprisoned in the Valaskjalf Dungeons after killing the warrior Theodoric in an argument.
He escaped the prison during the Sacking of Valaskjalf, and fled to Midgard, where he lived among the humans until 2018, when he was hunted down by Loki.
