Sven is a bastard only child born out of wedlock to a Swedish mother and American father. His father died of a heart attack due to his addiction to ranch and chocolate flavored butter. Sven’s mother never remarried and still spends most of her time in Sweden, flying to the US a few times a year when Sven is playing in the northeast. His father’s side never recognized Sven as a family member because Sven’s father’s estate was quite large when he passed. It is always a treat for Sven to get to return to his motherland and see extended family to eat salted fish and delicious pastries. Given this, of course Sven was excited to receive the email that his mother’s extended family was having a summer solstice party on a small island in the archipelago. Sven’s extended family is very proud of him and all showed up to the parties wearing the newest edition of his SF Pride jersey.
