ND/Sven

## Background

Sven Hurtigruten's Saga
Sven was born into a Resistance family outside of Bergen and participated in rebellions as a young man. He fled Hanist for the deserts of Menkgu after getting his father executed by orcs. In Menkgu, he became a successful cavalry general, allied with the Reptilians, and liberated a Pegasii herd from an Imperial breeding farm. Burdened down with dependents and running out of maneuver space, he turned south to join The Liberation.

Sven was a hard worker and harder drinker as a youth. He talks big, hates the Empire and injustice passionately, but really cares about people. He has a big problem with authority, even liberated authority, and sometimes dislikes having to be in charge of his own followers.

Following his introduction to the Liberation and in recognition of his talents as a cavalry leader, Sven was appointed Vertex Dux and acknowledged as commander of the army's cavalry.

Sven has taken over command of the 2nd Legion. The troops have started calling him General. Sven has never stopped to see if this is an honorific or if he actually received a promotion. When confronted by a dumbfounded trooper who couldn't imagine not knowing or caring about being a general, Sven directed him to Magnus, who "handles all of my war correspondence."
