Varg Vikernes is a Norwegian musician, writer, and blogger. He founded the music project Burzum, part of the early Norwegian black metal scene. Varg is the son of Lars Kristian Vikernes and Helene Bore. Some sources state that Helene’s first name is Inger. However, it is not indicated on her public and tax records. Varg is married to French national Marie Cachet, and has seven children.

Varg’s father Lars is pictured here.

Varg’s maternal grandfather was Johan Bore (the son of Ingvald Bore and Gunda Bertine Johansdatter Nærland). Johan was born in Stavanger, Stavanger, Rogaland, Norway. Ingvald was the son of Garman Enevald Danielsen Bore and Inger Helene Hermansen. Gunda was the daughter of Johan Rasmussen Nærland and Marta Laurine Jakobsdatter Bø.

Varg’s maternal grandmother was Ruth Blom (the daughter of Christoffer Johan Blom and Johanna Marie Ingebrigtsen). Ruth was born in Stord, Hordaland, Norway. Christoffer was the son of Michel Blom and Georgine Marie Monsen. Johanna was the daughter of Ludvig Ingebrigtsen and Johanne Marie Johnsdatter Ubøsund.

In August 1993, Varg stabbed musician Euronymous to death. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder and the arson of churches. He was released on parole in early 2009.
