Appearance
Sturdy, clean-shaven, with a thunderous voice and pressed slacks. Always wears buttoned shirts, suspenders, and a patriotic lapel pin. Has a large Norwegian flag magnet on his Dodge RAM.
Personality
Loud, sincere, and completely certain he’s right. Lives in a moral black-and-white world, but with a soft spot for Tucker. Deeply distrusts “wokeism,” science fiction, and public schools. Has a heartfelt belief that Imperial Norway is a Christian stronghold against global depravity.
Motivations
Wants his son to grow into a righteous, god-fearing man and find a good Norwegian wife with strong childbearing hips. Sees Imperial Norway as a promised land because it bans DEI programs and has propaganda posters with women doing laundry.
Weaknesses
Incredibly gullible when it comes to foreign propaganda—especially if it’s anti-liberal. Reads satirical articles as gospel truth. Has no idea that Imperial Norway is a hyper-sexual fascist matriarchy. Thinks the “exaggerated fertility” of Norwegian women is a wholesome return to Biblical family values.
