After the 3 renown it stays with 0 STR? If yes, a card with 0 STR can claim power for Renown?

There is nothing stopping a character with 0 STR from participating in a challenge, you can even initiate an attack or declare a defender of 0 STR if you like. However, you cannot win without boosting their STR during one of the player actions (must be >0) and it still counts an unopposed if you defend with 0.

Love the design of this card. Starts off young, powerful and full of energy. As he gets older, he becomes an experienced champion with fame (power) and deadlier skill but less physical power. Finally, in old age, his strength is gone but he's learned to compensate by being sly and tricky.

could i use flaming sword on him to prevent the lost of STR?

Yes, as long as the flaming sword is on him, his STR will default to its printed 5 no matter how much power he has (and would get raised to 6 by the sword itself). He won't be seeing any of his other icons or keywords though.

I have a question regarding the first challenge.
On the German forums one said: "I like him, if you win the first challenge with him and the enemy defended with
one of his characters he will die from deadly."
His explanation was like:
"First renown will trigger and as soon as that happens he becomes an intrigue symbol and deadly. Deadly is then triggering as
well because it's the same window."
Is he correct?

Nope, deadly is resolved as a passive, which is before renown is rewarded. Awarding a power for renown is the very last framework step that happens during challenge resolution before moribund cards leave play.

Nope, renown goes first.
