He was an Ogre Champion who went to kill the "catawampus" (catoblepas) with a group of adventurers (and wore a skull necklace, similar to the ones that decorate Bleakstar and Bleakstar's champions). Sven is still alive. Three (nameless) ogre champions were killed during the food hunt (who tried to ambush the adventurers). Sven's fate, after the battle between the humans and Ogres of the Black Dragon Army remains unknown.
