Torsten means "Thor's stone". Torsten, the Viking warrior, was often followed by lightning storms wherever he went, causing some to believe that he was favored by Thor himself. His enemies trembled at the sight of him, for they knew that the lightning that followed in his wake was a sign of his power and prowess on the battlefield. But Torsten was not just a warrior, he was also a devout follower of the god of thunder, and he believed that his strength came not just from his own skill and training, but also from the divine favor of his deity. His enemies may have feared him, but his fellow Vikings respected him, knowing that he was a force to be reckoned with.
