Lars is an ambitious young man on his first cruise and might be described as a bit of a Magnus Sundstrom fanboy. He grew up on tales of epic interstellar voyages and is sure this cruise will establish his reputation as a reliable and effective crewmember. He dreams (and talks… and talks) of earning enough
to buy his own trading ship someday. It is known that Lars has worked in other industries before, although he is cagy about exactly what he did and where. There is nothing sinister about this, he simply prefers to keep his unimpressive first jobs in factories and as a delivery driver out of the conversation. Lars has a Holmgang sword – a basket-hilted broadsword used in formal duelling – in the armoury and likes to wear it when on security detail. The sword is an affectation he thinks lends him an air of the dashing adventurer, which his more mature colleagues find a bit silly.
