Background:
Bjorn Svenson, scandinavian, long-haired blonde with a shoulder length ponytail and, a fastidiously groomed beard. Impeccably dressed, he likes the finer things in life, AND the "Corporate Kill".
Svenson is proud of his viking heritage, adhering to their noble ideals of honor and courage. He also spent many years in Japan, working for Arasaka. Svenson speaks fluent Swedish, English and Japanese. He admires Japanese culture and history. He loves their food, their art and their women. Svenson sees himself as a corporate samurai: bound by the warrior's code of honor. However, the Japanese still considered him gaijin, a western barbarian, an outsider. This prejudice eventually led to him being fired from the company. Feeling betrayed, Svenson has become ronin: a masterless samurai.
Svenson is an expert in karate and kendo. He's proficient with the MonoKatana (a katana with a monomolecular edge to the blade.)
For business meetings, Svenson wears a designer 3 piece suit (armored with kevlar, of course,) a handgun and an armored overcoat as well.
He always accompanies his team on assignments, when he usually wears a black sneak suit, his katana and a powerful Mk. XIX Desert Eagle Action Express.

Hollywood's favourite handgun of the 80's, 90's and the turn of the Millenium. The Desert Eagle was an Isreali design, built to fire large-caliber rim-fire loads through an automatic pistol, while maintaining a high reliability in hostile (desert) environments. The grip on most Desert Eagles is considered uncomfortably large for shooters with smaller hands, as the handle of the gun has to accomodate rounds never intended for an auto-loader. The Desert Eagles are popular to this day, especially with the availability of ElectroThermal Enhancement.
