Backstory

Sigrun is a Valkyrie whom Talos cast out of Sovngarde for failing to protect the Chosen of Talos, a young hero named Vulkus. For years she watched over him and fell in love from afar, forbidden to reveal herself and allowed only to guard him in spirit form. Now and then she bent fate itself to keep him safe, with Talos' blessing.

It was when Vulkus found an abandoned prison and freed the vampire held there that Sigrun knew she had failed. The young man was smitten the moment he saw the prisoner. Sigrun even appeared to him in spirit to beg him leave the girl in her cell, but though her arrival startled him, he refused to leave the vampire, Valentina, to rot. He freed her, the two escaped, and Sigrun could only watch from the spirit world as they became friends, and then lovers.

Talos recalled Sigrun to Sovngarde and berated her. Vulkus' fate was now bound to a vampire, and he would never know the greatness that had once awaited him. In Sigrun's absence, a platoon of the Silver Hand fell upon the couple, and Vulkus died defending Valentina. Sigrun returned just as the fighting waned, to find the Chosen dead and the vampire surrounded.

Torn, she broke the rules of her kind once more and took physical form, standing in all her glory before the Silver Hand to shield the woman Vulkus had loved. She cut them all down, and as the last fell she felt the call of her lord and returned to Sovngarde to face her punishment, leaving a stunned and grieving Valentina behind.

"For your misguided actions I have no choice but to banish you from Sovngarde. Henceforth you shall be mortal and returned to Skyrim, to live among the people you failed. Because of what you have done, there may be no champion to save Skyrim in its time of need."

A wave of his hand, a flash of light, and Sigrun stood again in the very spot she had left, the weeping vampire at her feet. She reached down and took Valentina's hand, and the two women wept together for the one they had lost. Together they would avenge him and protect Skyrim themselves. Gods be damned.Character Details
