Tirkov Steen

Tirkov Steen, also called Tirkov. At their first meeting on Alvor's Cove, Eric Olafson refers to him as "the dirty man".

Tirkov is the leader of a private mercenary outfit called Steen's Devils, and maintains an office on Pluribus. His personal flagship is the Hard Eight. His assistant is a cyber named Lagda, who he occasionally calls "Phoenix".

Tirkov know of Neo Vikings and Nilfeheim because "Years ago I had two Nilfeheim low men in my crew. Hard men they were, reliable. Didn't mind working, could drink Botnarrs under the table and if they started singing their Valhalla Songs and praising the houses they had braved much hardship to escape the ship plates vibrated. Never been to Nilfeheim but I know a thing or two about it."
