(Deviant) Vimr, Revolting Soldier

Lore
Vimr's treachery was so abrupt that none of his former comrades could stop him. They had been completely unaware that he had defected to Sigurd's camp. His newly acquired dark powers granted him two special abilities. One was a dark gloom that sapped his opponents' will to fight, and the other was the raw destructive force of an avalanche. Vimr's raucous laughter and the sound of broken armor echoed across the battlefield.
