Karl Jensen

Karl Jensen is an EU special forces soldier who served under Captain Scotty Ross during the Valentine's Day Disaster. He is the son of African War Veteran Arne Jensen. After the Valentine's Day Disaster, Karl was forced to remain in Atlas due to the intense manhunt orchestrated by the Atlas Intelligence Agency.

History
Karl Jensen was born as Arne Jensen shipped out to war. His father stayed just long enough to hold his son before he went forth into the most devastating war in human history.

Karl grew up in the northern town of Nordfjordeid. When his father returned home from the African War, he began helping him out and learned much of the Mechanic's trade throughout his teenage years. While living in Nordfjordeid, Karl was introduced to Scotty Ross. Scotty Ross introduced Karl to his squad, and the EU military. Karl signed up at 18 and was assigned to Scotty Ross' squad at his request.

The Valentine's Day Disaster
Karl Jensen went into the belly of the beast that was Area 51 alongside Scotty Ross. He was one of the only survivors. Through the bowels of the facility, he was pummeled by Eric Connelly, shot at by several powerful soldiers and even crossed weapons and defeated a genuine Metahuman Soldier. At the end of the day, however, he stood by Dmitrei Ivanov-Wilheim and Samantha Ko as the last raiders standing.

Valentine's Day Aftermath
Whilst his comrades were able to flee overseas, Karl Jensen was faced with dilemma- before dying, Harrison Parker had given Karl a shot of a mysterious chemical to 'keep it safe' for later study. Unwittingly, Parker had accidentally given Karl Jensen a large dosage of Gene Five that began to reshape his genetic structure. Due to not receiving any actual Genetic Modifications alongside the bonding agent, Karl experienced strange mutations that did not fit the pattern of any established Metahuman modifications.

Evacuating VI
Karl spent the next few years trying to figure out how to get Hyperion VI out of Atlas. Karl developed a network of decoys and agents, eventually coming to adopt one of the decoys as his daughter. However, Karl eventually figured out a solution to the Atlasian border. Karl Jensen finally made his public reappearance, facing down against Reclamation Squad in a climactic battle where he went all-out in an effort to draw maximum attention. In the process, Hyperion VI was smuggled into the Soviet Union and moved on to the EU, completing Jensen's mission.

Gagefall
Karl and his daughter Scarlet settled down with the Adamantine Guard after their escape from Sao Paulo. Over the year they spent at the base, Jensen was forced to keep his head down after his stunt in Brazil.

His outlook was changed after the bloodbath of Gagefall, and his trust in Diego Torres was shown to be completely misplaced. Siding with the newly named Gage Resistance, Karl left the Adamantine Guard, humiliating Torres in the process.
