Bergvid was one of the first Europeans to know of North America. He and his fellow Vikings settled in a small area in what is now know as Newfoundland. The life in the small settlement was horrid. Often, disease was rampant. Not to mention the hostile natives attacking the village. One day, as Bergvid was wondering along the forest near the settlement, he stumbled upon a small plant that seemed to glow with brilliance. Bergvid realized that the plant before him was a plant often found in small supply in the Scotland area. He had heard that the plant could cure many diseases. He gathered a handful of the plant and brewed it to create a cure for the lethal diseases. Many wished to try the new found cure. The first to consume to cure was healthy within the day. Bergvid was praised by his fellow Vikings. Impressed by Bergvid's intelligence and cunning, Odin himself called upon Bergvid to reward him for his greatness. As a reward, Bergvid received a diamond hammer that gave him the power to know everything. He also gained immortality and strength rivaled by none but the gods. Soon after, he became troubled by the acts of violence and destruction that occurred on the planet. He became bent on stopping or at least decreasing the world's violence. He had even been known to have stopped wars. He lives on today, trying to prevent as much violence as humanly possible.
