Alexandré Skjörn

Alexandré Skjörn was a descendant of the Freitaika Explorator family founded by Rudolph Carlson and a veteran of the Freitaika Rebellion. One of the few spacers to hold dual citizenship in the Consortium and the Confederacy, he made a living as a free spacer managing shipments between the Main Belt and Earth and working as an informal diplomat between Inner and Outer Sol. During the Freitaika Rebellion, he fought as an officer and commanded some fifteen thousand volunteers who opposed Steinric Deir. 
At the time of the First Battle of Mars, Skjörn was in orbit around Mars and under no ones orders but his own, returns fire upon the Technical forces with makeshift kinetic weapons. He is credited with two kills.
Once the Technical fleet was routed, he deorbited to Union City, went to the military base and enlisted as a Confederate militiaman. Instead, he was proffered command of the Freitaika Free Forces by Haydn von Dehlin, who was acting as a diplomat for the Confederate Congress on Mars. Skjörn accepts the commission and immediately leaves towards the Main Belt to command his troops in person.
