Sven Langbard was born in [[975]] [[AD]] in [[Norway]]. He was a "fairly typical Viking warrior, interested in pillage and plunder" until one day, with Sven nearing [[30 (number)|30]], his longship crossed paths with a crashed [[Sontaran scout-ship]]. The [[Sontaran officer (The Legions of Death)|Sontaran officer]] had survived the crash and single-handedly took command of Sven's band of Vikings; with no way to contact his people, the Sontaran hoped to become a local overlord and eventually take over the whole of the [[Earth]] in the name of the [[Sontaran Empire]]. The [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] dispatched [[the Colonel]] to investigate; Sven, who disliked his new leader, assisted the [[Time Lord]]. Awed by the Gallifreyan's [[supernatural]] powers, Sven regarded him as "a kind of [[god]]" and decided to stow away on [[the Colonel's TARDIS]], hoping to "get a glimpse of [[Valhalla]]", and was reluctantly accepted as an ongoing [[companion]] by the Colonel thereafter. | Sven Langbard was born in [[975]] [[AD]] in [[Norway]].

On one occasion, Sven "picked up a [[Dalek]] and used it to knock down three others", which meant he was severely disappointed in the aliens' combat prowess and reverted to hoping to someday meet a Sontaran in one-on-one combat ad his greatest hoped; despite "the vast physical strength of the Sontarans", several of his fellow TARDIS-travellers "[we]re betting on Sven to win such a fight".
