	Born to a single mother in Norway Torbjørn had a fairly normal upbringing in a thoroughly middle-class household. Albeit it one that was in many ways very New Age, his mother was Asatru and adamantly refused to let him participate in any events that had anything to do with Christianity. Of course Norway was not really all that Christian so this didn't bother him too much.

	For most of his youth he was not too hot on school, preferring sports, boxing, driving cars, partying, and watching action movies to studying. Of course he was quite good at all of those things, effortlessly so.

Like most countries Norway needed people who could take unofficial action, be it rescuing hostages, collecting intelligence, or saving Norwegian citizens held by their parents abroad. For the most part these operations were fairly humdrum, but soon he began to notice that there were strange things going on. They'd be sent into the wilderness looking terrorist cells, finding odd tracks in the woods, and getting increasingly cryptic messages from high up.

			* Guns
			:Perhaps it's his military background but Torbjørn can't for the life of him see why so many scions use medieval cutlery to fight their enemies. To his mind guns are good, big guns are even better, especially now that he can actually fire a machinegun from his hip with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

			His relationship with Torbjørn is a complicated one, though he is willing to lend Torbjørn aid and support he still tries to nudge him in the direction that'd be most beneficial to Norway. Moreover he is also obliged to hide the existence of E-17 and protect his sources, further limiting his helpfulness.

			==Followers==
			Prior to his Visitation Torbjørn was part of the top-secret E-17 special operations group "Åsgårdsreia". He can still call upon his old comrades in arms, who will come to his aid if at all possible. Technically they are still members of E-17, which helps with logistics and armaments, but this also requires higher than usual attention to secrecy.

	=~~Physical~~ Description=		=Description=
			Tall at 6'4" and built like a brick shithouse, if that didn't get your attention his enormous red beard or booming voice probably would. In short there's nothing subtle about Torbjørn. In many ways he is his father's son, strong, honourable, thoroughly decent, and a protector of the weak and helpless. Of course he is also a bit of a drunk, a glutton, and has a fierce temper even if he quickly cools down as well.

They'd be sent into the wilderness looking terrorist cells, finding odd tracks in the woods, and getting increasingly cryptic messages from high up.

			IT all came to a head when they found one of the "terrorist" cells, it was in fact a group of trolls, or giants if you will, backed by several thralls and a titan scion. Initially the encounter went badly, as the unit was simply unprepared for what was thrown at them, and the titanspawn had several great mental powers. Torbjørn however found in him a strength that surprised even him, using an LMG to show the titanspawn why it is and stays a secret war.

			Tired, exhausted, and surrounded by the weirdest corpses he'd ever seen, he was still surprised when Thor the god of thunder appeared to him. That as you say was his first entrance into a new and greater world...

			Since then he was given far more leeway in choosing when to go and where, to the point that he was able to act much like a cinematic secret agent and basically pick his own assignments.
