Bjorn Birger was born on [[Earth]], but when he was eighteen years old he left the planet behind him in pursuit of wealth and adventure. With him came his future wife, who was sixteen at the time. He eventually came to captain the ''Hakon'', which he used to salvage and sell anything he could get his hands on. When [[Rion Forge]] met Bjorn | Bjorn Birger was born on [[Earth]], but when he was eighteen years old he left the planet behind him in pursuit of wealth and adventure. With him came his future wife, who was sixteen at the time. He eventually came to captain the ''Hakon'', which he used to salvage and sell anything he could get his hands on. When [[Rion Forge]] met Bjorn while he was visiting Earth, she estimated he was in his forties. After being told to get out of a [[Chicago]] bar for being too young, Bjorn scolded the bartender and invited Rion to join he and other members of his crew at their table. Before long, she wasn't just a guest at the table, but a full member of the crew as well.<ref name="SaS"/> | ||
For the first few years after that fateful encounter, lief aboard the ''Hakon'' was everything Bjorn had promised Rion it would be. The ship and its crew frequently dodged into and out of war zones as the [[Human-Covenant War]] raged around them. Starvation, torture, betrayal, and death were familiar sights for the hardened crew. As time passed, the nature of the work took a toll on the crew and they started to act more and more like [[piracy|pirates]]. Bjorn began to lose control over his ship and he stopped paying as much attention to Rion as well. After her twenty-fourth birthday near the end of the war, Bjorn died after having his health decline for some time. Rion helped prepare his body alongside Unn, who lost all ambition after his death and followed him a year later.<ref name="SaS"/> | For the first few years after that fateful encounter, lief aboard the ''Hakon'' was everything Bjorn had promised Rion it would be.
