Background
Little is known about Bjorn from his younger years. What is known is that he worked for the small Jurowski Crime family in Brooklyn as something of a problem solver for them. This worked well for him until Vladimir Jurowksi passed away and the crime family fell apart to the squabbling of his children. He followed his superior, one Sven Sundgardner into more freelancing, doling out their skills to the criminal element that needed things covered up or contained.
During his time spent in the New York underworld, he stretched his own skills out beyond just cleaning up loose ends. He was also a frequent fighter in the various underground fighting rings and the occasional hired muscle. Though he has taken a step back from his criminal activity since his Awakening. After receiving his initial training and his intiation into the Guradians of the Veil, he was sent on assignment and has only just recently returned to the city.
Description
Bjorn is not a small man. His height easily topping over 6'4, he tends to fill the area around him. His body is well muscled from his time fighting and doing the unpleasant sort of work that he grew accostomed too in his youth. His dark brown hair is usually brushed back from his face with perhaps a touch of product to keep it in place. He also keeps a well trimmed and maintained beard. He dresses fairly well, but not flashy as he prefers to not stand out anymore then his large size already does. More then a few scars cover his body, when you are able to see them, and his hands and knuckles are calloused from use.
Personality
For the most part, Bjorn is quiet and unassuming. He seems to prefer sitting and listening to conversation flowing around him. His eyes seem almost unnaturally alert though and if he settles his gaze for to long on a person it can get quite unsettling. That said, should his anger be roused it is a terrible thing to behold. He can go from quiet to a rampaging animal in a surprisingly short time, made all the more unnerving by how rarely it occurs.
Roleplaying Hooks
- Problem Solver (Mages): Surprisingly, Bjorn's responsibilities have not changed to much since his Awakening. He is still responsible for taking care of the problems others make. The Guardians of the Veil have decided that his skills are best useful for stepping in to fix problems once they have occured. Perhaps, sometimes for good.
- From the Streets (Underworld, Street): Certainly not the biggest name in the cities underworld, but if you keep your ear to the grouind you have at least heard of the organization that Bjorn still occasionally runs with.
- New Yorker (Locals): While Bjorn has returned to the city, he was born and raised in New York, including receiving his initial Magical training in the local Consilium.
