Kharoc Garrlan is a former Imperial storm commando, now serving as part of the ground forces of the Arcona Expeditionary Force.
Character History
Born on Corulag and trained at the Imperial Academy, Kharoc Garrlan served as an Imperial storm commando for nearly a decade and achieved the rank of Captain before being abruptly separated from that service. When exploring his options for becoming a mercenary, Garrlan was contacted and interviewed by a Dajorra Defense Force recruiter before being commissioned at his former Imperial rank in the DDF's ground forces.
After a few weeks training up with his new special forces team, Garrlan led his team on a mission to a warehouse near the Estle City spaceport. According to the briefing they had been given, a terrorist cell was operating there, but it turned out to be a group of Undesireables and mercenary allies. In the ensuing firefight, only Garrlan managed to survive long enough for Arconan Consul Atyiru Caesura Entar to intervene. Garrlan was injured and knocked unconcsious protecting the Miraluka Grey Jedi from a grenade armed by a dying mercenary. After being treated for his injuries Garrlan was inducted as a non-Force sensitive member of Clan Arcona and was shortly thereafter advanced to the rank of Major, officially transferred to a classified Arcona Expeditionary Force unit that exists only on paper to disguise loyalist members of Clan Arcona in the military hierarchy.
Physical Description
Kharoc Garrlan's face is far more weathered than one might expect from someone who wore a full helmet for most of his life prior to joining the Dark Brotherhood, tanned and clean-shaven with a scar along his left cheekbone underneath light blue eyes. His dark hair is cut quite short, only a few centimeters in length on top and getting progressively shorter down the sides in a military fashion.
When out of combat, he normally wears a loose utility uniform, very similar to a pilot's jumpsuit, and will almost always carry his chosen sidearm, an SE-14r light repeater. When expecting a combat situation, he will add an Imperial storm commando's black chest armor over top of his normal outfit and start carrying an F-11d blaster rifle.
Personality
Kharoc Garrlan is a soldier, first, last, and always. This doesn't mean he's a robot and never relaxes, but it's not something he really could hide, even if he wanted. Other beings with military experience will see in him the dozen small mannerisms and speech patterns that denote him for what he is. Moreover, he sees his calling as a soldier in possibly one of the most idealistic manners he could. He sees what he does as manning the walls of civilization against those that would want to replace order with chaos. He has no real hate for the Republic, but he does see the order of Imperialistic society as more desirable. He sees himself as a protector of the citizens of the Dajorra System, though given some of the atrocities he saw in his last days in direct service to the Galactic Empire the shining armor isn't quite so shiny anymore.
