Nationality: Norwegian.
Occupation: Computer nerd (software/database repair guy for the national university libraries).

Description: 6'4", 220 lbs, wider shoulders than waist. Age 30. Fair skin (*does* tan somewhat if given a chance, but this is the wrong part of the world for that to happen on its own and I can't be bothered), blonde hair (usually somewhere between shaved off (in summer) and just long enough to look messy), blue/gray eyes, usually wears glasses but sometimes contacts. Usually wearing deceptively normal clothes -- black or blue jeans in relatively good repair, unexceptional T-shirts (and sweaters, jackets, etc as demanded by local weather); occasionally featuring clothes or accessories with weird designs or slogans (Miskatonic University T-shirt, Illuminati pin, etc).
