Adventure, women, and mead had been the sum total of burly Olav Ansgar’s life, and, while his family name meant “Spear of the Gods,” his ‘spear’ of preference got him in big trouble with the local husbands more than anything.  

It was in that vein that Olav, drunken and lecherous, took the busty Helga into the Shrine of Uller for a private tryst.  Later, as she sprawled amidst a table of fruits and berries, he decided to steal the shrine’s ‘Uller 
diamond.”  Diamond in one hand and Helga's anatomy in the other, Olav was quite pleased with having accomplished two such note-worthy deeds in one afternoon.  His pleasure vanished when Helga’s fine form shifted and became Uller himself., god of winter and ice.  

Olav would have liked to tell a tale of bravery, but wetting himself while hanging on to a handful of godly chest hair doesn’t make for fine tales.  Instead, he trembled and swayed as the winter god lectured him on his failures, told him to try harder in the next life if Valhalla was his goal, and then burned a rather massive phoenix tattoo into his chest.  Uller then disappeared – with the diamond.  

Even in his drunken stupor, Olav realized his good fortune, vowing to himself never to drink enough mead that he'd be tempted to mention having groped a man's chest.  It was about that moment that the ice-craved shrine began to shake and the roof and walls came rumbling down around him.  

When archeologists thawed his frozen body, centuries later, Olav immediately set about trying to lead a better life and right his past wrongs – first by learning to bathe, and then by traveling to Paragon City.  After a time, he got the bathing part down, anyway.
