Biography
After King Olof was poisoned by the Swedish Brotherhood, Torgny used his influence as the thing's Lawspeaker to have the King's brother Eric designated as the new King instead of his unruly nephew, the sixteen-year-old Styrbjörn, whom the old Mentor was convinced would inevitably become a tyrant like his father. Outraged by the thing's ruling, which he perceived as the theft of what was rightfully his, a vengeful Styrbjôrn left the kingdom promising to come back one day and to depose "The Usurper".
