Åke Björkholm– Information Broker of Ambrosia

Born in the frostbitten shadows of Uppsala, Sweden, Åke Björkholm carved his path not with a blade, but with a sharper weapon—secrets. At just 30 years old, he has already become one of Ambrosia's most indispensable assets, operating as the guild’s London-based information broker during the fog-drenched winter of 1895.

With short black hair, piercing red eyes, and an ever-immaculate wardrobe of tailored charcoal suits and blood-colored cravats, Åke is as unnerving as he is efficient. His stoic expression rarely shifts, even when delivering the most harrowing intelligence. Abrasive by nature, he speaks in clipped, biting tones, indifferent to the fear or discomfort he causes. For Åke, empathy is a wasted currency—information is the only coin that matters.

Though not bound to the guild’s immortality curse, he is deeply enmeshed in its machinations. He traffics in whispers and shadows, selling truths, half-truths, and deadly lies from the backrooms of opium dens, occult libraries, and gentlemen’s clubs. Some say his red eyes are the mark of a pact made with something beyond the mortal realm—a trade made long ago in return for unerring insight.

Enemies describe him as a “walking dagger in velvet gloves.” Allies do not describe him at all.
