Background

Born in 1843, Colorado Dave Stenstrom claims to hail from a family of Swedish viking-wizards and that he came to America during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in 1859 as a young lad to make his fortune using Earth magic to prospect but instead became a professional gambler and gun-slinger, signing on with the Wardens after the Civil War. He's known for being a fair-minded conservative with a hands-on approach and a very like-able persona. He has been Regional Commander for the Western United States since the 1950s but has shown no interest in going further. His base of operations is Las Vegas, where he makes a living as a professional gambler, but is well acquainted with the entire region and travels extensively. He is well-respected, despite his affectations.

Message System

He has boltholes throughout his territory that share an extra-dimensional space, so messages can be sent to him. The one in San Francisco is a mailbox in an old Richmond apartment building.
