Name: Khavel “The Bear” Haganiere
Class & Rank: Sergeant
Age; 34
Gender: Male
Location of Birth; Rhostok VI, Japori (Outer Empire)

Physical Characteristics/Background: Khavel has been large, even for the hulking Oriyaks. He stands at roughly seven foot tall, with thick, tree-trunk like arms, wrapped with muscles that stand out like taught steel cables. His face is broad and simple looking, with a squat, boxer's nose and deep-set, pig-like eyes. His appearance often leads to him being underestimated, giving him a slight advantage in a confrontation.

His physique has been acquired through the natural trials of living on an impoverished world and through the work he acquired before leaving for Kronedegor . He started lugging crates at a local ammunition factory, his low dexterity meaning that he couldn't really process the machines used for making shells and rifle-parts.

The day-to-day monotony of working life left him feeling unfullfilled, and the brutal machinations of the overseer left him disenfranchised with the government as a whole. It was at this juncture, he ran off into the frigid wasteland, in search of the fabled revolutionaries who plagued the PDF from time to time. After a week of trekking, he found them and after a brief period of vicious interrogation, he was admitted into the group. His first operation, to attack a maglev train carrying rifles and ammunition was a disaster. As he moved into position, stolen MR-18 pressed into his shoulder, the Government forces swept in and surrounded the group, killing the ring-leaders with brutal pistol shots, and arresting the low level grunts.

After a few weeks in a frigid jail cell, subjected to regular beatings and torture, he was hauled up before a kangaroo court, all baying for the blood of the enemy of the state. However, the judge decided he could better serve the Oriyak cause in the PDF of some backwater world, and this is pretty much how Khavel ended up on Kronedegor.

Mental Disposition: Khavel has lived a hard life, forging a living on a world where the government take all you have, and the local mobsters take what's left. Consequently, Khavel is a take-no-prisoners person. He's learned to make the most of a frankly terrible situation, relying on himself more than anyone else. The back-breaking labour on Rhostok VI, combined with the oppressive government have left him resistant to authority, and sown the seeds of rebellion in his heart, unbowed by the brutal torture he suffered in prison. However, the fact that anything other than compliance in the PDF means a bullet in the back of his skull, Khavel cooperates sullenly, never directly resisting, but keeping his discontentment known.

Noted, Positive Qualities: Khavel's physical and mental strength are his main qualities. After all the shit that life has thrown at him, he is incredibly difficult to break mentally. His passion, and Oryiak spirit, if aroused make him a beacon of moral in a unit, inspiring those around him with rousing battle-songs.

Noted, Negative Qualities; One of his more obvious flaws is his hatred for the oppressive government that landed him in the PDF in the first place, meaning that outside the chain of command, and the omni-present threat of execution, he is more than likely to rise up against an officer, his inspiring and likeable nature giving him the opportunity to bring his entire squad along with him.
