Einar
Petersen
Born in Hamar, Norway. Parents owned and operated a ski resort high
in central Norway. Began skiing at an early age; soon added hunting
and shooting, to become an accomplished biathlete. Attempted and
failed to win entry to Norway's Olympic Biathlon Team in 1988 and
1992, missing by fractions of a point each time. Joined Beredskapstroppen
in 1990, after sister travelling in the Middle East was wounded
in a terrorist attack.
Petersen is a nearly unstoppable sniper if allowed the proper setup
time. He projects an air of icy calm at all times, prompting teammates
to devise various pranks and embarrassing situations to disturb
that calm. All attempts so far have failed. While aloof, his unerring
accuracy has endeared him to the rest of the team. When not on duty,
Petersen often embarks on lengthy solo cross-country skiing trips,
disappearing into dense terrain for days at a time.
