Nils Strömberg or Nilvar Strømberg in Naragnin (The Bear) is the current Chief of Imperial Security of the Empire of Northland and is responsible for the operations of the Northic Police, The Lögreglen and Kosikby. Nils was born in Gipfell on 23/7/1817 as the only child to his parents. Nils met Oscar Ødenberg when he first entered politics in 1839 where his calming and friendly demeanor earned him Oscar's trust who in turn made him the Chief of Imperial Security of Northland. Nils proved himself to be King Oscar's closest and most dependable ally, friend and the most loyal of the Northic Imperial government.

## The Red Bear

He was given the Nickname The Red Bear by the general populous and his friends due to his sheer size and appearance with his Bright Red hair with a fiery bright orange glow and deep dark blue eyes. His rather calm demeanour results in him being a very kind and charismatic person with there being almost no one who doesn´t at least have deep going respect for him.

## Early life

Nils came from humble beginnings as his father was a trader who was away from home most of the time. Though being raised by his mother most of the time he still looked up to his Father who he wanted to be just like. Once he got the chance as a 16 year old, he first sailed the Seas with his father as a cook´s assistant on his father´s ship. Though 3 years later as a 19 year old he tried something different trying to start a carpentry shop in Askervik with the skills he gathered on his journeys around Eneric. Though mildly successful his carpentry Business never really took off. Not long after leaving his carpentry business he decided he wanted to be something greater and he wanted to protect people so he left Askervik for the Police academy of Ryggholm.

## Kosikby

After finishing the Police academy he changed part of his plan and decided to join the KSB instead of the Northic Police in 1839. In 1841 he met Mathias Innsalmer who he became great friends with Mathias being the first to give him the Nickname "The Bear".

## Interesting stories

It is no secret that Sargon and Nils absolutely hated one another, even before Sargon's disappearance from the inquisitors. Sargon, always being a bit out of step with the decisions of the Northic Government, wasn't a stranger to insulting or outright threatening Oscar III or the Other members of the Northic Government.

Though one faithfull day, after calling Oscar an incapable imbecile and Nils a fat failure, he was relatively quickly put back in his place by the bear, who got rather fed up by the ancient kings comments. He got right up in Sargon's face and promised him he would destroy him with his bare hands as soon as he got the chance, ranting at the Inquisitor for over three minutes.

Sargon, not expecting this behaviour, decided it wasn't worth it to engage on Nils´ words, and quickly stormed out of the hall. It is to note that this confrontation truly gained Nils Sargon's respect, though their hate for one another didn't shrink by a bit.

### The bear

Nils and Oscar would spend allot of time together as friends usually hunting or duck shooting. Once while Hunting in the Hindrun Nils along with Oscar III, Anthony Frànen and Christian Ødenberg were ambushed by a Large brown bear which charged Christian. In a bold move to protect the royal family Nils Lunged at the bear whom was just a little smaller than Nils. Nils and the Bear scuffled for a few minutes with Nils eventually gaining the upper hand putting his arm around the beasts neck strangling it all three of his companions tried to shoot the animal tho they were to afraid to hit Nils in the process. Eventually Oscar jumped in with a knife which was enough to subdue the animal.
