Garvik "Arnbjørn" Hreverssøn

"Mercenary? Oh please, no. Private Security Contractor is the word you're looking for - employing mercenaries in today's conflicts is forbidden by the Geneva Convention, and we all honour and respect that one, right? But all joking aside - it's just semantics, nothing more. I don't care if you are red, blue, green, purple or fucking rainbow-coloured: If you have the cash, I do the job."

― Garvik on being a mercenary

=Character= Garvik used to work for Gleipnir Defence Services, a PMC operating within the boundaries of the Secret World which sells it's services to the highest bidder. Within the company he held the position of field coordinator for the so-called project "Einherjar".

After a mission in Egypt went wrong he was declared M.I.A. and written off by the company. However, Garvik survived the botched mission and returned, only to discover - arousing quite a bit of anger - how easily expendable his employer considered him to be. As a result, he quit his job and now works as a freelance mercenary, using the contacts he made in the Secret World to pull in profitable contracts.

Appearance
At about 2,03 metres height, Garvik stands taller than most men. His build is thoroughly athletic, hinting at either regular workouts or a very physical occupation, or maybe even both. His dark blonde hair is kept short most of the time, but nonetheless neatly groomed and styled, only contrasted by the somewhat wild stubbles framing the rough features of his face. His skin has a very light complexion, most likely placing his origins to somewhere in Scandinavia, which is supported by the ice blue eyes laying their gaze upon his surroundings from the centre of his face. He speaks British English with a slight foreign accent, most likely noticable by native speakers only. Apart from speaking English he can also be heard speaking Norwegian, Russian and German from time to time - the latter two with medium to heavy accents. His clothing style varies a lot; from military to lax up to even straightforward formal clothing - he can be seen wearing it, often mixed and matched to his personal preference. However, military clothing seems to be his favourite choice most of the time.

Personality
Loyalty

Garvik's loyalties lie, without a doubt, with those who pay him for whatever he has been hired to do. Once paid he is discret, follows orders without questioning and will do everything necessary to achieve a satisfying outcome of the task at hand. In private, on the other hand, it is very hard to judge if there is any cause he is truly loyal to. The only thing that becomes evident is that Garvik values his friendships - as few and far between they may be - highly and would most likely take a bullet for the people he considers to be "friends".

Friendship

If asked about his friends, Garvik would likely reply that he knows a lot of people, but only considers about a handful of them as true friends. Being considered a "friend" takes a lot of effort for someone, mostly due to Vik being highly judgemental - once he formed an opinion on someone it is very likely to stick. Furthermore, his constant antics and rather rough sense of humour are also factors that contribute to him not being the most likeable person on the planet, at least in the eyes of most.

Politeness

There are, basically, two versions of Garvik: The one on the job and the one in private. On the job he is polite up to the point that it hurts, at least with people he has not worked with before. In private, quite the opposite is the case - he's a loudmouth and swears regularly, often in his mother tongue.

Temper

Even though he is quick to swear, Garvik rarely loses his temper. On the occassions he does, though, things tend to get nasty - mostly due to the nature of the things that make him lose his temper in the first place.

Others on Garvik
"He's an asshole. He's hard-headed, stubborn, and can be a real jerk. And he sucks as a supervisor. ..... But he's a good guy. I wouldn't want anyone else at my back."

"The Vikster knows what he is doing. He got swanky gear, and is 100% professional when he is on a job. Not much of a party lion as far as I have seen, but if someone can cap a draugr on the 200m line, who cares?"
