Personality
Triss is happy, easy-going guy. He always seems to have a smile on his face, a bad joke always lurking about him. He is a bit careless of the troubles of life and really positive. Though he also has his head in the clouds at some points, and a bit too easy-going. Even if he has this energy about him, he is rather lazy, wouldn't do anything he can make someone else do. He seldomly dislikes anyone, he is this type of person that sees good and funny traits in everyone, and doesn't get angry so easily. It can get a bit annoying as he rather never gets angry, and always has that little smile that makes you think he is high on something. Though early mornings is not his thing, and he tries to avoid them by not getting up before noon, if he doesn't want too. Some people think Triss is gay, 'cause he is really so happy all the time, and joking very much. If you would call him gay he would most certanly nod and with a smile confess just how much gay he is. Therefore, noone really knows.

Interests
Well of course horses and riding are his interestes, but it didn't really start that way. Triss loves all animals, his favourite one is Otters. He is not that annoying Green Peace activist though, but he cares for all animals and believe they should have a good life or a worthy death. He could never say no to an animal, therefore as younger he had the families garage with lost bird-babies and always took care of friends animals. Triss is also a vegetarian. he doesn't eat any meat, not even from the ocean except prawns and others with shells. He eats egg though, but are very careful so that they are at least from chickens that walk freely inside our outside. Milk and cheese and such products he drinks and eat though, but only if it has this "ecologic"-brand. He has been vegetarian since he was 8 years old, even though it wasn't so extreme as younger. Later in his teen years, this was one of the main causes that he got anorexia.
Even if Triss loves animals, he is a big fan of hunting, not a maniac about it, but enjoys it and hopes for more thoughtful hunting in the future. He has once said that maybe one day he'll eat the meat of a deer or moose he himself shot, as then he knows the animal had a good life and a quick death. Another interest is flirting, even though he has that type of personality, so it comes natural for him. As a guy in the world of riding, he sure has had alot of girls around him, and does not complain. But believe it or not, when it comes down to seriousness, Triss can be shy about those things.

History in short
Triss was born and raised in Helsinki, Finland. His mother was one of those Finn's that only speaks Swedish, so even if all learn Swedish, Triss got better than usual at it. As a kid, Triss was sick alot, so he was shy and became a bit on the outside from the others as he often had to lay in bed instead of being out playing with the other kids. He read a lot of books, and was doing well in school as he had gotten further than other children. That was also a factor that made him more bullied. His parents wasn't ignorant, they saw that he had barley any friends, and they started to give him animals. It started with just a goldfish, then he got a hamster and then a cat. At the age of seven, he and his mother was at a market, and there was a pony-ride there, so Triss, amazed by these big and strong animals of course got a ride. His parents couldn't afford riding school though but when they moved to Sweden he started to hang out at the local one though, just watching the lessons. It was then he met Dunai and Alyssa that befriended him. After a while his parents did find a way to pay the fees for riding school and let him start, happy that he had gotten friends. 

At the ridingschool, life changed for Triss. He got lots of friends, even thoug mostly girls, and got popular. The shy child became a bit wild hearted and happy. he hanged out at the riding school as often as possible, became groom on one of the ponies, watched many of the good riders lessons and stalked the private-riders together with Aly and Dunai. If he'd been a girl people would probably had gotten annoyed, but as most was so happy to have another boy in the sport, he got much support and everyone was happy to share knowledge with him. So Triss got pretty good in short time, as he also was determined to become as his idol Mark Twain. His parents was eager to keep their son in a world where he had friends and confidence, even if that confidence started to grow rather big. So they bought his favourite pony for a little sum of money, as it wasn't such a fine pony. Triss had it on the riding school, he rode it five days a week, and the others it was on the lessons. He took alot of private lessons and started to compete a little in showjumping. it wasn't any heights, and the pony was stubborn as hell, a true little donkey. But it made Triss stubborn and they got a little way down the road.

It was when it seemed the pony hadn't got any skills to go further, and Triss getting taller, as they bought a younger, hotheaded mare from Ireland. She was a real bucking-machine, and sometimes people wondered how Triss could still be alive. She refused in the start to jump, which made Triss sad, he wanted to get out and compete again. The teachers at the riding school said he should let her calm down first, but the mare didn't seem to want to jump. But after a ride in the woods and fields, Triss realized the mare could jump, as she jumped over stones and fallen trees perfectly. So it was a lot of work, but in the end they could go out and compete. The mare had great skill and over two seasons they where up in national level, ranked as one of the best pony equipages in Sweden. It wasn't until he was sixteen, last year on international level on pony, that Triss qualified for European Championships together with his mare, and his friend Dunai also qualified with his gelding. Even if Triss mare was a donkey at the dressage which gave him low points, he manage to get a fifth place.

Triss went to high school at Strömsholm in Sweden, selling his ponymare in Sweden too. He had gotten too big for her, that was it. It was that what started his anorexia, that he wanted to stay in pony-height forever. But Strömsholm held new oppurtunities and Triss started to compete successfully as a Junior, then youngrider. Though, he had it hard in the beginning, as he didn't afford those great horses, he had to buy cheaper ones that had alot of work on them, but that only made him a better rider in the end.

After working in different stables across Europe (mostly Ireland and a while in Russia), Triss and his good friend Alyssa decided to start a company which would take in horses for training and selling. As he had became quite renowned in the Eventing world, he had gotten som good sponsors and could now live off the equestrian world.
