Holger Palmgren was Lisbeth Salander's guardian until he has a stroke right before the events of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Palmgren is a nice man who's dedicated his life to helping youngsters with troubles. He is made the guardian of Lisbeth rather than a trustee after making a court appeal. Their relationship becomes of the most positive Lisbeth has, especially with her problems with authority.

In December 2002, Salander finds Holger in his apartment after he's had a stroke. At the hospital, she's told he probably won't recover from his brain hemorrhage, he does however with the help of Lisbeth. After recovering, he is able to testify against Dr. Peter Teleborian during Lisbeth's trial.
