Askr Albertsson was born the second son of one of the most powerful houses of the Vanir, so was expected enlist in the navy or otherwise make himself useful to the families political position. This was not imposition on Askr, who as always fascinated with the mighty warships of the Imperial Trust and dreamed about commanding them. Askr passed though the Vanir Navel Academy with marks rivaling those that Admiral Freyr and was soon given a posting with the Imperial Trust Navy. Two months later his ship, the Mars-Class Battlecruiser Unyielding Shield, found itself deployed in the assault on Fjol IV where it was left for dead after a crippling series of lightning raids killed much of the crew. It was here that Askr Albertsson first saw combat, and lost the entire unit of armsmen he was put in command of along with his right arm holding a key corridor.

In the centuries since Askr Albertsson has been involved with nearly every major naval battle that the Imperial Trust has had, and has developed a reputation for doing the impossible with his ships, often surviving engagements that wiped out entire squadrons with light damage. This talent for ship-handling was noticed and saw him put into command of ever larger warships, until he found himself in command of the Alexander Class Command Battleship Memory of Light after the Defence of Svartalfheim. This is one of the most prestigious postings in the Imperial Trust Navy and came with the rank of Flag-Captain, making him equivalent in rank to a Commodore despite only commanding a single ship.

Askr Albertsson is a professional Naval Officer with a love of warships that few can match. It is rumored that he has not spent more then a month planet side since graduating, a rumor that may be an exaggeration but not by much. You have met him several times over the years and found him rather introverted and dull, until he strides onto his ships bridge and suddenly takes control over his crew with sheer presence.
