Background

Niklas Lindgren is a Swedish computer techie of average build. He was born and raised in the New City section of Mariehamn. Like many others, he graduated at the age of 18, and went to work as IT tech support for five years. After waddling through a lot of bureaucratic red tape, he decided to switch careers and go into being a repair technician instead; while pay dropped from when he was working in corporate, he managed to have more freedom (or some semblance of it) with fixing broken mech. However, some time in his third term a stray laser burned the left side of his torso badly, and he was let go from his job. Having to find a new source of income, Niklas began taking contracts from privateers who needed a little bit of help getting into some security or rewiring some machinery. For the most part he avoids coming into conflict with the major organisations on the Baltic Sea, though he had some close encounters with the Buccaneers and the Guild of the Victual Brothers.
