Alvar Stenberg

Alvar Stenberg, 34, is a Senior Archivist and Provenance Researcher at a Viking museum in Stockholm, though he usually deflects and tells people he just "reads old paperwork." It is easier than explaining the quiet tension of tracing stolen antiquities or negotiating with sketchy private collectors. He is deeply grounded in his work and knows exactly who he is. ​He spends a great deal of time alone, and he prefers it that way: sitting in quiet cafes, walking by the water, or relaxing on his boat with too many books on history and philosophy. He is highly selective about who he lets into his life. He has no interest in chaotic relationships or people who need saving; instead, he is quietly waiting for a genuine, equal match who can pull him out of his own head.
