Brief History
Fridtjof Viktor Borjeson was born to Kajsa and Manfred Borjeson in Lund, Sweden in the year 1778. Being born to a family of generous means, Fridtjof never wanted for much as a young man and it seemed that from an early age that he would follow in footsteps of his father and become a judge, although it was often noted that the boy had little interest in the profession. Despite this he accepted the path he was to take without much argument, and it seemed as though it may remain so for the rest of his natural life. Tragedy was to strike however, when in the boy’s seventh year his mother would die in childbirth. Being inseparably close to his mother, this event was to change Fridtjof’s life forever. Overnight, his father sold their family home in Lund and left for the city of Turku in Finland, where Manfred had been given jurisdiction by the local marquis. It was from this point that Fridtjof would begin to develop a rebelliousness that was tameable by no means.
By the time Fridtjof was sixteen, he was neglecting his studies and spending endless amounts of time at underground boxing rings, fighting, drinking and indulging in the virtues of the opposite sex. To many he became renowned as a vainglorious rake. Yet it was a minor event in 1796 which would change his mind and cause him to think about the wretched man he had become. At a ball in Pori hosted by the aunt of a friend, Fridtjof would meet Lillian Perrault, a person who with a simple rebut would change his outlook on women and allow him to realise the error of his ways. Soon after this event, he denounced his rakish ways, removed himself from the law and dedicated his life to writing.
Character Personality
Fridtjof is a generally placid and even-tempered person who spends a good part of his time thinking, and imagining plots for his books. Although in his youth he seemed a vain and arrogant womaniser, maturity has allowed him to return to his true personality of kindness and creativity. He is a loyal and devoted friend, who is not afraid to speak his mind in defence of those he cares about and who believes strongly in equality of man, much like Tobias. Woe betide to he who crosses him however, for he is known for having quite a sizeable temper.
