History[edit]
Ottar Sjovold was the Governor of the Rasalhague Military District in 3019.
By mid-3019, Coordinator Takashi Kurita, eager for his son Theodore Kurita to be married and produce heirs, had arranged a political marriage to Anastasi Sjovold, daughter of Jarl Ottar Sjovold, the governor of the Rasalhague Military District, with the wedding to take place on Rasalhague, not on Luthien.[1]
On 22 September 3019, when Coordinator Takashi Kurita is inbound to Rasalhague aboard Tai-sho Ivan Sorenson's Leopard-class DropShip Startreader, it turns out that the vessel has been sabotaged by a sleeper agent and rigged to explode just above the starport's command center to cause maximum damage.[1]
A message from Warlord Marcus Kurita calls Theodore Kurita and Duke Hassid Ricol to the starport's command center as the DropShip approaches. They are confused when the Warlord is not actually present there to meet them, when Jarl Ottar Sjovold appears and manages to extract Theodore and Ricol with an implausible explanation just before the ship crashes, causing widespread death and destruction at the command center. Sjovold brags that saved Theodore from Warlord Marcus Kurita's double-cross to ingratiate himself with his prospective son-in-law and future Coordinator, admitting unadvertised his complicity. When Theodore rebuffs Sjovold, Ricol assaults and kills Sjovold, and then claims that Sjovold had tried to stab Theodore with a blade lying near Sjovold's body, putting himself in Theodore's good graces.[1]
