Hakan appears in the first chapter as the owner of the titular cafe. His personality is portrayed as the calm and collected type, but his sense of humor manifests during his conversations (and bickering) with his best friend Luke Prath. He is described as having tousled black hair, slanted green eyes, assorted Nordic features, and a tall, toned build.

My sister pointed out that he seems very similar to me, which makes sense, considering that he and this entire story are based in part on me and my life. However, there are quite a few stark differences, which I'm somewhat ashamed to admit:

Thanks for stopping by - your blog is great!
Thanks, Lindsay! :)
Realism in self image? What is all of that stuff? Heh, when I picture myself, I am a simply amazing specimen of the human race w/o a single character flaw!
Cbeck, thanks for visiting! I so wish I could see myself as a flawless being worthy of worldwide reverence, but reality won't seem to allow me that one delusion ;)
