Bjorn Baad

Bjorn Baad is a Militant General and the former ruler of the country Liceland. He was a part of a rebel cell led by his father that killed the royal family and took control of the country. He eventually assumed leadership and ruled Liceland with an iron fist until Rumors swirled that famed singer Calista Coffey was a long lost granddaughter of the royal family

Bjorn personally took action to ensure Calista was not a threat to his rule, arranging her kidnapping to intimidate Coffey into admitting she was not an heir to the throne. However the people of Liceland rebelled against him upon hearing this and she was rescued by the Licelandic resistance, which established Roomey as their new democratic ruler, making Bjorn powerless

## Biography

### Early Life/Rebellion

Bjorn Baad was born in Liceland to Khan Baad and an unknown mother. Young Bjorn was denied childcare by the royal family and his father was forced to stay at home to take care of him. Khans displeasure with the monarchy grew as he lost his job and most of his money because of them. It eventually got so frustrated with them that he started a rebellion against the royal family. He was able to recruit many liclandic people to his cause, and they had the support of the majority of the people

As a teen Bjorn was trained as a soldier to fight in the rebellion, eventually emerging as one of their top ranked generals. He quickly gained a reputation for being the most ruthless leader in the army. On a stormy Friday night while the royal family partied, the rebels made their move. A large squad led by Bjorn burst into the palace. They broke into the ceremonies in a flash and killed everyone inside. The only monarch not present being Omio Bambino, a former heir turned famous pop star

### Serving his father

Bjorns father, Khan personally took care of Omio Bambino, shooting and killing him while he was on tour. Once this was done the Liceland Empire was established with Khan serving as the Official Leader of the country. This change was embraced by the Licelandic people as they too had slowly grown dissatisfied with the royal government and their disregarding treatment of them.

Bjorn initially embraced his fathers rule, but over time grew frustrated with his leadership style, believing he should be more ruthless and suppressive to the licelandic people. One night Khan Baad was found dead in his office, with a bullet in his head. While their was speculation that Bjorn had done it, their was no evidence to support it.

### Becoming a dictator

With no proof of his potential crime, Bjorn replaced his father as militant dictator of liceland. He ruled with a iron grip, being far more suppressive and authoritarian than his father. Support for the liceland Empire slowly died out as he continued to gain power, and the countrys reputation took a massive hit, with several international embargoes being levied against it. Another rebellion formed in Liceland, called the Licelandic resistance, led by Omio Bambinos great nephew Lars Bambino which Bjorn vowed to crush as they were a huge threat to his kingdom.

### The Emergence of Calista Coffey

In the 10th year of Bjorns rule, speculation emerged that famous singer Calista Coffey could be the great granddaughter of former monarch Omio Bambino. Bjorn was enraged, believing his father had eliminated that bloodline and called for his press secretary, Ivana Vacation. Ivana dismissed the concerns, believing her to be of no threat as she was only a teenage girl. Bjorn believed otherwise, as she was an american girl which had traits that other countries did not have.

Ivana told Bjorn she didn't believe she would want to come to Liceland which baffled Bjorn. She then announced her intentions to become a pop star which baffled him even more. He then announced that their would be plenty of press to release as he was gonna ensure that calista never became a threat to his rule, Ivana asked how he would do it but he rebuttled her, saying that secret plans were never revealed this early.

### Taking Action

Bjorn then assigned Ivana to find Calista and find out her intentions. Ivana tied up Calistas bodyguard Force and eavesdropped on a conversation between Calista and Roomey, finding out what Calista planned to do. She then reported what she heard to Bjorn and arranged for Calistas kidnapping and brought her to Liceland, replacing her with Ivana as she was scheduled to appear on Americas voice that night.

### Interrogating Calista Coffey

Bjorn then appeared before Calista, who was tied to a chair in his palace. He mocked Calista for missing her appearance on Americas voice and announced who he was. But He assured her she would still appear on the Television in a big way, when she asked how he threatened her saying she would tell the world she wasn't related to Omio Bambino if she wanted to return home. They argued about how Bjorn knew she wasn't related until Calista gave away the fact that she wasn't. Omio threatened her again and told her she would confess and Liceland would never hear from her again.

### Collapse of the Liceland Empire

Bjorn then received a knock on his palace door. Assuming it was his AV Technician Bjorn let him in. But the Liclandic resistance, led by Lars Bambino and Roomey entered and surrounded Bjorn . They freed Calista and announced the people had rebelled and Bjorn was no longer in power. When Bjorn asked where his guards were, Itchy sarcastically responded that they had gone skiing.

Bjorn desperately asked who was in power, to which Lars responded with Calista. However she declined to take leadership and vouched for a democracy in Liceland. A vote was held and Roomey was made the first democratic president of Liceland. With his plans foiled and his power gone, Bjorn sulkingly walked away and departed the palace

## Legacy

During his rule, Bjorn was hated by the vast majority of his own people for his ruthless leadership style, with many believing that he had imprisoned his people and that he murdered own family. His reputation tainted the legacy of his own father which had riddened them of the ineffective monarchy and had been largely fair in his rule. Even after he is overthrown he is disgraced by the Liclandic people and a reminder of why you shouldn't put power in the hands of Military individuals.

## Personality

Bjorn is a ruthless, self absorbed individual that cares little for others and Moreso for his own power. He is constantly threatening towards friends and enemies alike and will hurt anyone that stands in his way, even perhaps his own family. He takes great power in his name and the country that he rules, not understanding why anyone would want to leave his country or his government.
