History:

Josefs father was Mallah Haqua Mussain, who fled the persecution towards his people at the hand of extreme elements of the local Sunni militia as a child and ended up as one of many refugees in Sweden. Due the difficulty a foreign last name Hedberg. He grew up to become a ambulance driver. His mother, Josefin Lindfors was a first responder who met Mallah when they worked together. Josefs childhood was describes as one of strict parental control from both sides of the Family, but ultimately one of love and care. He was a fairly unremarkable child but for one thing: He was devilishly sharp. 

At early age, Joseph proved himself to be a problem solver, who possesed both charisma and a modicum of physical prowess. Something of a player as he grew older, his interests often had him butting head with more troublesome elements for the sake of his own ego. His father, growing a bit exasperetated at his sons inability to take his own life seriusly sat him down and told him he either find a job or commit to something before he had thrown his natural talents away. 

It might have been out of spite, as his father was a pacifist, or because he instinctively knew that only the army could give him the discipline he needed. in. It turned out that his quick thinking, his unorthodox approach to things and his cool head was something command cherished. He took to it as fish in water, and would quickly catch the eye of the General responsible for the SSG, the swedish special operations unit. At the age of 23, he was recruited into their ranks and sworn to secrecy. During his time with the SOG, he saw action primarily in the Middle East. After a close call with IED, he was set primarily on help train the Kurdish Pashmerga. He left that mission one year prior to Centurion.
