**Norgaard Slovknet** was a Metahuman and Military Officer of the Vortex Empire. He was sent to the Orion Dimension alongside Kedric Castellon and Kassandra Scippius with the mission of finding a relic to defeat Humanity during Legacy. Specifically, he was in charge of the operation to retrieve the Ruby Sword of Enton.

## **Appearance**

Norgaard is a tall and muscular man. He has messy black hair, gray eyes, a short unkept beard and a straight nose. His main attire consists of the standard black and orange Vortex Officer uniform, with a black coat on top of it.

## **Personality**

Not much is known about Norgaard's personality, but he is noted to be callous, sarcastic and ruthless during the Battle of Enton. He is described as acting "old" and "washed-up" by Castellon. He also noticeably has a nicotine addiction, which is most evident by his characteristic coarse voice.

## **Biography**

### **Iron Nations: Legacy**

#### **Deployment to the Orion Dimension**

In March of 46 Post-Terra, Commander Slovknet was mobilized from the frontlines under orders of Leader Pegasus, with the objective of meeting up with two of his old comrades at Conqueror Base in the Far North (Marshal Kassandra Scippius and Viceroy Kedric Castellon respectively). During a brief conference, they were given the task of finding a relic with the ability of destroying Humanity.

Initially, Norgaard chose to follow Castellon with his plan of scouring the Western Apollonir systems in the search of the Dagger of Skavann in hopes of building a Metahuman Army to destroy the URO. However he was given a secondary objective of finding the Ruby Sword, which was currently being hunted by the TDO, due to being selected as it's protector.

#### **Mission for the Ruby Sword**

Some months later, Norgaard hired Howard Etinson's Team of mercenaries to search for clues for the whereabouts of the planet of Enton. Having a cruiser and a battalion under his command, Slovknet initially sent two Chimaera Agents to dispatch Henry Davis in the Interregnum, losing both in the process. A few weeks later, he had a meeting with Etinson after his team had retrieved a Starmap from the Darkwater Base in Stagnum, finally starting the battle that would ensue on the planet.

Arriving shortly before Davis' Team, Norgaard would order for the mercenary team to clear the city, while him and a personal squad of soldiers stormed the Temple of Enton to dig up the Sword. While Regine Kessler ravaged the population of Enton's capital city with her monster army, Slovknet and his squad easily entered the building, while Etinson and his team dealt with the incoming Terran soldiers.

After the death of Felix Corrie and the defection of Rose Kessler from the mercenaries, Norgaard was forced to fight Agent Oskar Laake and Gendarmerie Ranger Angelo Blanca simultaneously as they commenced their assault on the temple, losing his team of soldiers but in exchange dealing critical wounds to both. Finally picking up the sword, Norgaard battled Henry Davis with his cryokinetic powers, but was ultimately bested by a pincer attack between the Bone-Armored Quadruped and Paralyzing Snake that the Weilder of the Ruby Sword manifested with his ability. Shortly thereafter, he would succumb to the poison that Henry's viper had administered to him.

## **Abilities**

### **Cryokinesis**

Norgaard's Metahuman power allowed him to freely generate ice and manipulate it as he saw fit, this power allowed him to fight using ice spikes for offense and ice walls for defense, much like Otto Laake's heliocrystal, this ability was capable of creating various structures that allowed for better movement and transportation of the user. Although this ability was unable to form concrete weapons like the Martian could.
