Jörgen Thorstensson
Jörgen is an adventurer born in Stockholm on day 55, year 3. Due to many magic tricks (Portrait of Dorian Gray, Eau-de-Ponce, Mr. Button's Brew, etc.), no one could now guess he's that old. During its early years and again today, he mainly looks like one of the most favorite musician of his puppet master, the late Jeff Buckley, but he's also known for looking like a laughing bearded man.

Citizen of Paris since the end of his late teens (the real ones…), he is mainly known in the city as a public figure having served many times as Mayor, Chief Justice and Chief of Police, proving his devotion to the most beautiful city of Popmundo. In case it was not clear, we're still talking about Paris of course.
More devoted in expanding the French language in Popmundo and working on the work of his life, his lack of seriousness and rigor in his musical career made him well known for having played in a large number of bands that were clearly not known for reaching the top of the charts. It could clearly be said that he never really knew how to manage a band, despite being an overskilled musician.
When he talks about his life, Jörgen basically explains that his late first wife Maëlys Piel was kind of everything to him and that since she died, life is like a shit sandwich you have to eat everyday. But he eventually understood that life was beautiful after meeting Hannah Pemberton. Back to loneliness after she passed away, Jörgen ended up by meeting Alexis Diefenbach and hopes that being the widower of six spouses won't make her paranoid.
Childhood
Jörgen was a child like any other child. Except that his name was Jörgen Thorstensson, not the others. Born in Stockholm, he grew up partly there and partly in Amsterdam with his mother, who was a very famous musician.
It was in Amsterdam that he met Eleanora de Kruijff and Julia Jansen during his teenage years. Jörgen quickly developed a talent for music, particularly composition. At the age of 18, he wanted to attend New York University with the aim of becoming a filmmaker, but to no avail; he eventually gave up cinema to devote himself to music.
Music Career
During year 24, at the age of 20, Jörgen left his mother's home for good and moved to Amsterdam, where a new life began. Together with his two childhood friends Eleanora and Julia, he founded the band Montauk Hulteur. At that time, crisis was already brewing in Amsterdam, with police chief Dan Broos abusing his powers and causing the people to revolt. The climate in the city led the band to lean towards punk rock. Later joined by Vanessa Gustavsson, the band meets the producer Annemiek Hendriks who will take help the band to release different its first records. Shortly after the first album's release, Jörgen decided to continue the band on his own, renaming it Call Me Jorg. Julia and Eleanora left for Los Angeles, where they ended their days addicted to drugs. After Julia's death from an overdose, Eleanora also succumbed to drugs and was found dead in a container of pheasant urine. Far removed from all this, Jörgen embarked on a tour and began composing a new repertoire.
In year 30, wishing to explore new musical horizons, Jörgen joined Leon Moore and Lloyd Johnson in the blues band The Glasshouse and embarked on a long world tour. Even if the experience is solid with bandmates on whom he can work with, the journey only lasts one year, as Jörgen leaves the band to fully embrace his position of Chief of Police in Paris.
After having played a while in another Modern Rock solo act called Jörgen Into Place, Jörgen ends up by joining powerful figures of Paris musicians Ed Velez, Benjamin Fouchal, Philippe Chanteau, Louise Clemmensen and Daniel Troubat in the Heavy Metal band called SIX. After a first album, the project ends up by welcoming Maëlys Piel and is renamed The Catastrophes. As of now, Jörgen considers this band as the most incredible musical & human experience he had in his life, full of daily philosophal and hilarious discussions between the whole crew.
