The Norseman consists of three components, originally spread around the globe. The first one was in possession of Vivian Volkoff (formely Alexei Volkoff), the second the property of a well-known pirate, Ellyas Abshir, in Somalia and the final component was hidden in a cavern in the Swiss Alps, in a room which was only accessible with Alexei's DNA. This room contains the killing agent, Thorium.
