Sverre is a London art student with a passion for vintage fashion and a modest psychic talent that he exploits for free drinks.

Sverre grew up in Kingston upon Thames, the son of an Irish art professor David Clarke and Norwegian architect Marit Vang who relocated to London to found reformist design group DCMV. He's had free rein to indulge all of his artistic whims and unconventional university efforts. He does some performance art, some set design, some modeling, and some divination. He's alright at most of it, but he's really good at the divination and actually makes money doing palmistry. He incorporates drag into some of the performance work, but does not consider himself a drag artist. He's more interested in expanding his psychic awareness, and was attending grounding and psychic development classes at College of Psychic Studies in South Kensington when he was noticed by Martine at a college fair.

Impulsive and adventurous, Sverre didn't need a great deal of convincing to move halfway around the world to San Francisco to what purported to be a private psychic school. It turned out to be less a school and more an extended family of the odd, but he's learning a lot regardless.
