Sigurd is an old school hero, fearless, strong and not too bright.
Raised by the dwarf master blacksmith Regin, Sigurd looked to the old dwarf as both a father figure and medieval lord. When Regin was banished from his home by the dragon Fafnir (see: World Historyprof: I LOVE GOLD!), he looked to Sigurd as a tool for his revenge against the beast.
At first reluctant, Sigurd eventually agreed to kill the dreaded worm.
As Fafnir was prone to daily drink from a spring on a well-worn path, the hero came up with a plan to ambush the beast. Sigurd dug a hole in the path big enough to hide in. He then covered himself with branches and brushes and waited for Fafnir to make his daily walk. Taken unawares, the worm was quickly killed.
Coming in contact with the worm's blood, gave Sigurd a form of invincibility and the ability to understand the speech of birds. From the birds he learned that Regin planned to kill him and take the gold for himself. Sigurd was smart enough to realize the danger, killed the treacherous Regin and kept the treasure for himself. Soon Sigurd would face a greater challenge, the beautiful Brunhild.
Sigurd is a plastic piece I painted this month.
