Halmar Albertsen

Halmar "Hal" Albertsen (born 17 April 2098) is an Acadian and the current leader of the Snow Trolls. He became the youngest leader of the Snow Trolls when Nicholas Irwin resigned in 2120. His efforts during the expedition season of 2121 resulted in ANN making the ANNlet available to every Acadian regardless of social standing.

Background
Halmar was born to an Acadian mother and a Bergenser father as a part of genetic diversification program ANN started shortly after their first encounter with the Hansa. As his father wasn't granted Acadian residency his mother was actively involved in preparations for conflict in the Faroe Islands, he was raised by Aquila Ezra and received a White Knight training.

Having passed the White Knight qualification tests at the age of 15, Halmar became a member of the Snow Trolls one year before he would normally be accepted. His tireless efforts to improve his skills earned him the appreciation of most Snow Trolls while his White Knight upbringing helped him maintain close ties with the White Knights.

Halmar did not participate in any major conflicts, but he led over 20 expeditions and many missions in the past 13 years. Until 2121, he was always the only person in his squad using the ANNlet. His expedition plans were made successful mainly because of the expertise ANN could provide both in locating important supplies and defeating any British or Teuton attackers. After a long campaign that ran from 2120 to 2121, Halmar convicned ANN and the Acadian High Council to make the ANNlet available to all Acadians to make the expeditions more efficient.

After the disastrous expeditions of 2125, Halmar developed a close relationship with ANN. He is a member of multiple closed communities in Acadia, most of which are formed around ANN.
