1000 AD
Vemmelig fell in love with Rebekah Mikaelson in his twenty sixth year of life when she arrived in Norway. She turned him into a Vampire, and was actually her first turn. Before they could wed, Niklaus and ELijah left, taking Rebekah with them. Vemmelig tried to follow, but Niklaus made sure to leave during the day, as Vemmelig did not have a Daylight Ring.

1100 AD
Vemmelig met Finn and Sage as they arrived in Norway. Finn told Vemmelig of his evil brother. Finn and Sage then set off to find Niklaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol.

Season One
In Pilot, Vemmelig is first seen chasing down and killing a young woman during the night.

Name
The word Vemmelig, in Norse, means abhorrent, horrid and nasty.

Sven is a common Viking name. Svenson means "son of Sven". Vemmelig's lat name comes from his father, much like the name Mikaelson.
