As a teenager, he was a playboy and managed to conceive a daughter with Mallymkun de Béthune who was born in 1606 (Fjorleif).

They were happily married, and in 1616 a set of twins were born, Noah and Audun Joel. The happiness was squashed when in 1618 Esther was murdered in her home. Struck with grief, Hallbjörn vowed never to marry again, and began naming places and things after his dead wife.
In 1623, upon his stepson Jonathan's abdication as Prince of Elwynn, the next in line to the throne was Noah, a minor. Accordingly, Hallbjörn was Steward of Elwynn until Noah was old enough to rule himself in 1632. His government saw a rapid Froyalanization of Elwynn.

The Kaiser, dejected by his daughter's betrayal, and ailing, ceded the throne to Hallbjörn, who had led the Union Defence Force counter-attack, by a nom-de-guerre General Hjalmar Heiðrsson, which had carried all the way to the walls of Shirekeep. In consequence of which he took the throne under the name of Hjalmar.
Reign
As kaiser, his reign was characterized with institutional and legal reform. Feeling sorry for the more-or-less disinherited son Audun Joel, he took especial care of this son and nurtured him into succeeding him as kaiser in 1639.
