Fixer CS! He's called Magnus, he's a fixer, so he fixes things. Not a contract killer. Just someone who "fixes" things. You won't see him a lot, and this is a character that will indirectly, play a part in a plot, so don't worry- he won't be joining the main band of mercs. He has an appropriate context in the scheme of things.

Bio: Born in Kiruna, Northern Sweden in 1966 to a housewoman and a Iron miner of a mother/father respectively, Magnus was brought up in a tough, rugged and inhospitable part of the world. He wanted to travel, and his father, whenever he wasn't in the mines, showed him how to hunt Reindeer and Elk. Learning how to shoot got him going. So he joined the Swedish Navy, specifically, the Kustjägarna, and got a hell of a kick out of doing that as his job. And over twenty years, he gained Officer training, Explosives Handling training, learned Arabic, French, fluent English and other talents. He left in 2006 after his unit was actually disbanded, and he decided he wanted to get involved in Africa, a place he had visited on UN deployments. Moving to an un-named African country, he settled down as a fixer of sorts, meeting a set of mercenaries and one man in particular, named Scorpion.

Scorpion relied on Magnus to deal with matters that indirectly, he could not handle. Getting friends, shipments through. Smuggling was one branch. Dealing with locals was another. Magnus was a third party, and was trusted with making things connect. He wasn't a Dealer- but he knew how to make links work, and run logistics. He was the man in the dark, whilst in other business, consolidating mercenary activity, though he acted in a way that connected mercenaries anonomously to either of the rebel organizations. He eliminated the loud psychopaths whilst keeping the peace in places where war was making too much loss, and not enough profit, on a local scale amongst a few little warlords. He did what he had to- and was well learned with the local populace's methods. However, Scorpion made one mistake. and got Magnus to make the wrong link- two individuals who never should have met did, and things went south. He and Scorpion cut ties, and Magnus blames him for what happened- a shoddy buisness mistake that ruined a perfectly profitable venture. He wants revenge, but understands there is no direct way. He waits and bides his time, aware that Scorpion walked away expecting nobody to come from Magnus. Right now, he's still a fixer in the country, but acts low key, and makes his living dealing with problems that mercenaries require. Specialist equipment, getting fake documentation for inner-country movement, as well as from time to time, independent contracting work in dealing that can give mercenaries a serious payday if they've got the capability. He knows what works and what doesn't- and he can help a mercenary out with trouble, for a certain fee- though his services are not in the employ of now killing people in cold blood. He removed himself from this line of work- and knows this would be a risk to his role as a fixer. He always keeps his eye open for opportunity, and is waiting for the right set of mercenaries- to make him a killing, and perhaps deliver his vengeance. Business is not something he is looking for in Scorpion. Just sending the message, but in time and in the right place. For now, there are other means, he thinks to himself.

Misc: Magnus is calm. He just doesn't stress or worry too much, he takes concern when needed and keeps his eyes wide open on the world around him. Experience has taught him a lot. He almost is local, yet at the same time, remains on the outside, skirting around problems. In the eyes of many locals, even despite him being white, he is respected, not causing violence or at least keeping peace in a way. He knows how to deal with African matters- and thinks for the long term, being wise and skilled in thinking things out over time. He sometimes will not understand brash or ridiculous propositions, but understands full well what a competent action will achieve with the right skill. He knows what means will come to what end, and while the short term may brush him up, he can always find the right contact, deal or action to turn the odds in his favor so long as he has a card left on the table to play.
