Background

Sylf is a cruel Norse demigod. The chief of a tribe of immortal vikings that dwelt in an isolated valley in Norway, he and his people warred against the brave warrior Druil the Heroic and his tribe. The war began when Druil's daughter, Dara, refused to become Sylf's bride. Sylf would have stayed in isolation, had his obsession not left the valley and joined the greater world. Sylf has battled Dara and her allies and now considered the entire Guardians of Terra team to be his most hated foes. A lustful misogynist, Sylf has the power to turn women to stone with his gaze. He has begun kidnapping heroes and villains to decorate his new lair.
