Sven

[This page contains spoilers for Book 10]

Basic information:
Sven is the captain of the king's guard and the most talented swordsman of Norghana.

Appearance:
Sven is not really that big and strong, like most Norghanians are. Because of that, most opponents underestimate him. He also has pale skin and blond hair, the typical Norghanian traits.

Personality:
Sven is a calmed swordsman with lots of patience and loyal to the crown. However, at the end of The Great Council, he acts more hypocritically, waiting for King Orten to die instead of doing it himself. In the first nine books, he was obviously acting falsely towards others in order to make the plan successful.

In The Great Council, we learn that Sven had a plan with the Dark Rangers and Count Olmossen to divide Norghania into two nations. If this plans went successful, Sven will have had the Crown of Est Norghania. His nickname in the organization was "The Boar" because in the days of the King Uthar, he hunted that type of beasts. At the end of the book, when Sven's forces were about to kill Orten, Viggo and Astrid appeared, and the first assassin killed Sven with his poisoned dagger.

First Appearance:
Sven first appeared at the end of The Traitor's Son as the personal guard of King Uthar, when the initiates where doing the final test.
