'''Garven Haakensen''' is a character featured in the {{CP}} series.

==Biography==
===2010s - 2020s===
Garven was the deputy mayor of [[Night City]] under Mayor [[Mbole Ebunike]], who was first elected in [[2012]]. Garven, a shrewd operator with his eyes on the mayor's seat, had contacts with all the special interest groups in the city, as well as corporations and organized crime.

By [[2020]], due to Ebunike's behavior, Garven was always in his office and was approached for all sorts of favors he intended to call in one day.<ref name="2020NC">{{RefCP|2020NC|73-74}}</ref>

By July of [[2023]], during the [[Fourth Corporate War]], the [[Arasaka Corporation]] had taken control over much of Night City, using the metropolis against [[Militech]]. When Mayor Mbole Ebunike stepped down after "suffering a nervous breakdown," Garven Haakensen took the reins as Acting Mayor. Arasaka was more content with him, as Haakensen was much more compliant and obedient than Ebunike.<ref name="2020FS2">{{RefCP|2020FS2|128}}</ref>

===2030s - 2040s===
After the Fourth Corporate War, Garven Haakensen stopped being Assistant Mayor and instead became a member of the [[Night City Council]].<ref name="CPRED">{{RefCP|RED|305}}</ref> At some point, Garven became the City Manager for [[South Night City (RED)|South Night City]]. Since he only cared more about obtaining money than doing his job, the district was a complete chaos.<ref name="REDNCA">{{RefCP|REDNCA|8}}</ref>

With his office at the new [[Night City City Hall (Glen)|City Hall]], by [[2045]] Councilman Haakensen still had many contacts around the city, and so far he had been able to continue his biding as before. Given the fact that there no longer was a Mayor of Night City, Garven had become the closest thing the Council had to a favor-granting power broker.<ref name="CPRED" />
