* Unofficial Updated Bio
* Old Official Bio

This is Torvald's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.

As the ranking scholar and preeminent authority on runic innovations and lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald is the forefather of runic magic and one of the architects of the wave of crystal-powered technology sweeping across the Realm.

Though he would much rather have his nose buried in a dusty old history tome or reach into a swirling vortex of magical energy using his enhanced stone gauntlet, he understands that the Magistrate is the driving force behind all his research and joined their effort to put down the Resistance. He longs for the day the fighting will end, and he can finally get back to his research.

This is an unofficial version of Torvald's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.

The ranking scholar and leading Magistrate expert of runic lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald has his hands in many different fields, from the initial wave of crystal-powered technology, ancient Ska'drin runes, and advanced prosthetic limbs.

Though he would much rather be buried in an old history tome or stick his hand into a magical vortex, Torvald joins the Magistrate's effort to put down the Resistance, as he understands the Magistrate is the driving force behind his research. He hopes to get back to work as soon as the Crystal War is over.

This was Torvald's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

As the ranking scholar and preeminent authority on runic lore at the Deepwerks facility, Torvald is one of the architects of the wave of crystal-powered technology sweeping across the Realm. Though he would much rather have his nose buried in a dusty old history tome or reach into a swirling vortex of magical energy using his enhanced stone gauntlet, he understands that the Magistrate is the driving force behind all his research and has joined their effort to put down the Resistance.

Once the war is over, he can once more get back to work.

## Summary

Torvald is a supportive Front Line Champion whose primary contribution to battle is shielding for himself and allies as well as crowd control against critical enemies. Unlike other Front Liners, Torvald's shielding is consistently present and must be destroyed in order to damage his hit points. His primary weapon shoots low damage energy blasts from his gauntlet that have significant damage falloff, limiting his effective combat range. His CC ability, Nullify, damages an enemy and prevents them from using their abilities besides their primary attack for a duration of time, leaving them susceptible to his teammates. In times of danger, Torvald can throw a temporary shield onto an ally using Protection, provided he has line of sight of the ally and that they are within range. Torvald is also able to recharge his own shield, allowing him to survive for extended periods of time on the point or in battle. Torvald's Ultimate, Hyper Beam, significantly slows him down at the cost of using the full might of his gauntlet. His gauntlet will shoot out a large beam of energy, dealing 1150 damage over its duration and knocking back any enemies in its path. This Ultimate can be aimed throughout its duration, pushing enemies off the point or into environmental hazards.

## Trivia

* General
* Champion Skins

* Lore
* Cameos
* References
* Concepts
* Other

**Lore**

* Torvald is the leading Magistrate expert on ancient Ska'drin runes and technology.
* Torvald never worked with the ska'drin themselves; he was mostly just interested in reverse engineering their technology for the sake of science, technology, and to try and learn how to use it. Despite this, he's not intentionally evil or selfish about it.
* It was from Torvald's research that Talus learned a lot about the history and magic of the Ska'drin during his time at Deepwerks. Though this was less of Torvald teaching Talus and more of Talus stealing his research.
* Torvald is an incredibly old elf, around Valera's age and implied to be even older based on his elderly appearance.
* Torvald is the one who created Octavia's leg.
* Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Torvald would be around 6'2 or 188cm tall.

**Cameos**

Torvald appears in the following content:

* **Cinematics and Trailers**
	+ *A Realm Divided* - Cinematic
	+ *Willo's Teaser Trailer*

* **Cards**
	+ *Priority Requisition* - Octavia Card
	+ *Plans Within Plans* - Vivian Card\*

* **Sprays**
	+ *Chibi Torvald*

**References**

* The line "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference... wait, where am I again?" (▶️) is a reference to a line said by the G-Man from Half-Life 2.
* The lines "Where we're going, we don't need horses." (▶️) and "Where we're going, we don't need cards! Actually, uh, hold onto this one." (▶️) reference a line from Back To The Future.
* The line "Power overwhelming!" (▶️) may be a reference to a line from StarCraft II.

**Concepts**

* Early design explorations originally envisioned Torvald with a completely different design, aiming more towards a thinner mad scientist type of look.
* In the blog post regarding the removal of the 'Parts and Pieces' skin system, various concepts were shown off to showcase what new types of skins could be created with the new system. Among these concepts was a Torvald skin, seemingly themed after the Abyss, though the style does also bear resemblance to the Darkness as well.
* A visual update to Torvald's design was shown to the community at one point, but the concept was ultimately shelved.

**Other**

* In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Torvald, these recolors included the Cartography and Historian skins.

**Champion Skins**

* **Arcanist**
	+ An arcanist is a person who has knowledge of a secret process of manufacture.

* **Grave-Robber's Spoils**
	+ This is the only skin to change just Torvald's backpack.

* **Clockwork**
	+ This skin was intended to be teased with a unique piece of artwork, but it ultimately didn't end up happening.
	+ The line "It's working, by Jove, it's working!" (▶️) references the Roman God of the Sky and Thunder Jupiter, who was also known as Jove.
	+ The line "That'll do there, that'll do." (▶️) may be a reference to a line from the movie Babe.
	+ This skin's splash art appears as a spray.

* **Dark Lord**
	+ This skin is heavily based on Darth Vader from Star Wars.
	+ The line "You thought you would get first blood, but it was me, Torvald!" (▶️) references a line spoken by Dio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
	+ The line "I'm not misunderstood; I'm just evil." (▶️) references the trope not evil, just misunderstood, where villains are revealed to have logical reasons for acting in villainous manners.
	+ The line "Fight for me. I won't pay you, but it's good exposure." (▶️) references the common practice of hiring artists, but refusing to pay them, instead using the excuse of the project being exposure for future opportunities that will hopefully pay.
	+ This skin's splash art appears as a spray.
	+ This skin shares its theme with Dune Crawler Cassie, Galactic Scion Lian, Mercenary Strix, and Ebon Star Zhin.

* **Berserker / Revenant**
	+ The Berserker skin stands as one of the longest periods of time between unique skins released for a champion, with Torvald's previous unique skin being released over 3 years previously. Though this record has since been broken by Cassie and Moji.
	+ The lines "Barely a scratch!" (▶️) and "Merely a flesh wound!" (▶️) may be references to a scene from Monty Python & the Holy Grail.
	+ The line "By the power of the runes, I HAVE THE POWER!" (▶️) is a reference to a scene from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
	+ The line "Oh, oh, they're approaching us?" (▶️) is a reference to a meme from Jojo's Bizaare Adventure.
	+ The line "Ah, that's no good!" (▶️) may be a reference to a scene from the cartoon "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog".
	+ The line "Haha, I'm in danger!" (▶️) references a scene from The Simpsons.
	+ The Berserker skin appears in the Self-Sufficient and Lovely Torvald avatars.
	+ The Revenant skin is one of the only recolors of a non-default skin to not be released at the same time as the original skin.
	+ Though marked as 'Exclusive', it's been mentioned that the Berserker skin is supposed to be marked as 'Limited', similarly to previous Ranked skins.
	+ The Berserker skin also appears in Avatar and Modded Androxus' teaser, alongside Eternal Fervor Jenos.
