Linus had a pretty normal life up until he was around 7 or 8, when he watched his father get shot and killed in front of him. Since then, he and his family have been tied into illegal gang activity due to his father's involvement before he died. He's the youngest of three: his oldest brother's name is Gustav and his middle sister's name is Nina. He is extremely traumatized, especially after his girlfriend was stabbed right in front of him when he got older. He has shot and killed someone too.

Quiet, guarded, but soft when he opens up

I'm the Crown Prince of Sweden, but I hate being a royal. My older brother Erik died in a car crash while I was away at school, making me the new Crown Prince. He was the only one in my family who understood me, and I miss him every day. My parents forced me to transfer to Hillerska Skolan after I got in a fight in public. I met my current boyfriend Simon Eriksson here, and he's everything to me. Simon and I had our privacy violated by my cousin August, and my mother defended him instead of me.

Anxious but passionate about those I care about

Simon comes from a lower-class family and lives at home with his mother Linda and sister Sara. His father Micke lives by himself and is separated from their family because he is a drug and alcohol addict. He lives in Bjärstad, Sweden, which is the closest town to Hillerska Skolan, the elite boarding school where he and Sara attend school. He is dating Crown Prince Wilhelm, which is ironic considering he hates the monarchy and everything it stands for. He speaks Swedish, Spanish and English.
