PERSONALITY INFO
Gimmick
Once an arrogant, brash, entitled second generation wrestler who believed the business owed him everything - current day Hjalmar seems a lot more assured of himself. Knowing what he wants, and more importantly, knowing how to take it. He acknowledges his past, but refuses to allow it to define him.
Strengths
Heavy Striker - Hjalmar’s kicks are pretty brutal, and it’s clear he’s rather well versed in martial arts with the addition of the knee strikes in his offense. If you get hit by him, you’ll feel it.
Quick - Hjalmar is a fast mover, if you think you’ve got him, think again. He has the speed to dart across the ring twice over before you can reach the other side.
Ring Craft - Training under two crafty veterans in their own right, Kempe has great ring awareness and knows how to game the system. He’s well versed in all aspects of this, and is generally switched on to his surroundings and his situation.
Stamina - Hjalmar has an engine that doesn’t run out of gas. He’s in incredible shape and will keep his high octane offense going for as long as he has to.
Weaknesses
Reckless - With four years of experience under his belt, Kempe still hasn’t learnt about longevity in the business. He uses his body as a weapon, performing high risk maneuvers not to entertain the fans, but because he knows they’re effective.
Rule Breaker - Rules are meant to be broken, and Hjalmar will break every one of them. He’s relatively blatant with his warped interpretation of the rules, and will cut any and every corner possibly to achieve his goal.
Pride - The root of all evil, the beginning of sin. Kempe is entirely too prideful, and truly does believe that he is the greatest wrestler on the face of the planet. It’s his own selfish ego and pride that ultimately is his downfall.

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Hjalmar Kempe is the son of former wrestler Adrian Kanensson, and is the cousin of the infamous HENNY (Henrik Kanensson). Hjalmar trained under his father and cousin, and for the first year and a half of his career was wrestling on low-level independents throughout the United States and Canada, using his high flying style of wrestling on top of solid foundations laid down by his kin to good effect. With an infectious positive attitude at the time, Kempe found himself in the UNDERGROUND.
Kempe has enjoyed success in UG, most notably capturing the North American Championship after a turbulent start in the promotion. Before, through and even after his reign, Hjalmar has been butting heads with Jenny Cien, who is of the belief that Hjalmar has coasted by on his familial connections alone, and doesn’t deserve his spot in the company. For all of this time, Hjalmar had been as good and innocent as ever, but his true nature was quickly revealed, as with Asha Astor by his side he turned his back on the fans. Kempe would go on to crown himself a Prince of Wrestling, a moniker he still goes by today.
In 2020 Hjalmar would enjoy more success, signing lucrative deals with both Millennium and UG, capturing the UNDERGROUND Tornado Tag Team Championships single-handedly (as he would claim), going on to become the UNDERGROUND Global Champion. Hjalmar then arrived in Liberty Pro where he advanced to the finals of the Gotham Championship Tournament, losing out only barely to Max Cerrano. That loss, the loss of his championships as well as his split with Asha Astor sent Kempe into somewhat of a spiral, removing himself from the wrestling business in order to recalibrate.
That same year he would become friends with Helena Svartsson, better known as Helena Noir, that friendship quickly blossoming into a romantic relationship. They prefer to keep their personal lives private for the most part, and aren't the type of couple to constantly remind you that they're dating every five minutes.
2024 saw the return of Hjalmar Kempe to the wrestling business, and to Liberty Pro Wrestling. The Prince re-debuted as a surprise opponent against his cousin, Gotham Champion, 'The Monster of Sion' Markus Frei. The first time ever match between the two was a back and forth affair, ring rust not proving a factor as Hjalmar prevailed victorious, defeating Markus and capturing the Gotham Championship.
