==Background==
Found in a drunken stupor, Sigbjorn appears to be part of a clan of questionable morals currently residing in [[Boersgard]].

====<big>Active Ability: Tempest</big>====
:::The Warhawk uses his massive weight to sweep his weapon around himself, hitting multiple adjacent targets, friend or foe, for normal [[strength]] damage.

:::Tempest hits the selected enemy target plus additional units, friend or foe, moving in a clockwise fashion around the Warhawk. After clicking on the enemy target (and before ticking to confirm the action) the units to be hit are highlighted with the purple-filled tiles.

::::'''Rank 1:'''  hits up to 2 targets
::::'''Rank 2:'''  hits up to 3 targets
::::'''Rank 3:'''  hits up to 4 targets

:::Tempest triggers the Warhawk's passive ability, Heavy Impact, which in turn can cause a chain reaction of destruction if used in close quarters. Keeping the Warhawk out of harm's way until late in the fight will maximize his effectiveness.

====<big>Second Active Ability: Choice</big>====
:::In the second part of ''The Banner Saga'', when Sigbjorn reaches [[Rank]] 6, he can choose a second active ability between:

:::*[[File:Sunderingimpact_icon.png|40px]] [[Sundering Impact]] (Warmaster), like [[Hakon]]
:::*[[File:Forgeahead_icon.png|40px]] [[Forge Ahead]] (Warleader), like [[Krumr]]

|}

===Passive Ability: Heavy Impact===
:::The Warrior hits so hard that any enemies standing adjacent to his target on a [[strength]] attack take 1 strength damage from the shockwave.

:::Hitting a large target like a [[Varl]] or [[Dredge]] who takes up four tiles can potentially cause an impact across many more victims than hitting a single-square target such as a human.

==Joining the Party==
'''Saga 1:''' Sigbjorn, a member of the [[Ravens]], was sent by [[Bolverk]] from [[Boersgard]] to the village of [[Reynivik]] to recover a stock of valuable mead. When the Skogr caravan meets him, he is drunk and under siege himself, a contingent of dredge assaulting the meadhouse of Reynivik. Helping him deal with the attack on his favorite meadhouse, near the end of [[Chapter 6]], will give you a chance to recruit him in your caravan.

'''Saga 2:''' If still alive, he will be available throughout [[Chapter 8]] and then follow the Ravens' caravan.

'''Saga 3:''' He is available as a member of Iver's party from Chapter 17.

==Possible Deaths or Departures==
'''Saga 1:'''
* If you are defeated at the battle in the mead-house of Reynivik, Sigbjorn will be killed. He can be sent away by Rook, after the fight in Reynivik. 
* He will always leave your caravan to rejoin the Ravens under [[Bolverk]]'s command, as soon as you enter [[Boersgard]]. 

'''Saga 2:'''
* While playing as the Ravens in [[Chapter 13]], Sigbjorn will grow unruly towards [[Bolverk]] and cause a fight. If Bolverk chooses to slam him into the ground, he ends up unintentionally killing Sigbjorn.

'''Saga 3:'''
*Sigbjorn will die in Chapter 19 if you decide to take an alternate route while crossing the land bridge after passing the godstone of [[Denglr]]. 
*He is killed along with other Ravens in Chapter 21 if you lose the battle against Bolverk.

==Playstyle==
* Sigbjorn starts at Rank 5 but you can not change his stats, unlike [[Eyvind]]. 
* For a Rank 5 character, he is weaker than the other two [[Warhawk]]s of the game, [[Gunnulf]] and [[Bersi]].
* He is very mobile, having 2 [[Exertion]] and a +2 bonus-movement item equipped by default.

==Trivia==
* His name loosely translates to "Victorious Bear".
* Sigbjorn is the 'key' to acquiring two powerful items:
** the [[Scarlet Feather]], which he has equipped during the mead-house fight in Reynivik,
** and [[Bjorulf's Blessing]], which he will give you if you help him recover from his terrible hangover after that battle.
