Governor Olaf Ingolfsson of is the head of one of the Ducal families of Vanaheim and was born and bred for leadership. In his youth he joined the Imperial Navy after graduating from the Vanir Naval Academy with high marks and worked his way up the rates at a respectable but not amazing rate. At the age of one hundred and ten he was promoted to Admiral and put in charge of the Imperial Navy detachment stationed at Vanaheim, much of which is built and manned by the people of Vanaheim. He remained in this post for a mere decade before retiring on the death of his father to take up the position of the Duke of House Ingolfsson. Over the next two decades he proved to be a highly skilled politician and managed to wrest the position of Governor from the latest in a line of compromise candidates. Governor Olaf was the first Governor of Vanaheim to hold the position for over a decade in five hundred years and has not loosened his grip on the reins of power in the fifty years of his rule. This is despite the fact that he has not proven to be a very good administrator and that there have been several avoidable economic issues since he took the post of Governor.

By the end of the Warp Storm around the Imperial Trust Governor Olaf was still in command of Vanaheim, despite being far more progressive then the majority of the Vanir and having close ties with Avernus, which has become Vanaheim's new rivals in the Imperial Trust. However his political position is far less stable then it once was, and every scandal has the potential of toppling him, no matter how minor.
