Radoslav Barkov

Captain Radoslav Barkov was a commissioned officer of the UNSC Navy who defected to the Insurrection.
== Biography ==
Born on Kastovia, Barkov joined the UNSC Navy at the age of 21, eventually achieving the rank of Lieutenant. He was a crew member aboard the destroyer Galaxius, under the command of Captain Lorna Dane.
Ultimately, Barkov would lead a mutiny, personally spacing Captain Dane and assuming command of the Galaxius. The mutineers then pledged loyalty to the Insurrection. Over the following decade, the Galaxius crew became infamous for their brutality, committing multiple acts of piracy and terrorism throughout UEG-controlled space.
Eventually, the URF high command recieved word from a spy that the UNSC was developing "Project GUNGNIR", and wished to deprive the UNSC of the technology. Barkov and his crew kidnapped several key scientists and engineers working on the M6 nonlinear rifle, and held them aboard the Galaxius for transport to a URF blacksite where they would be forced to replicate the technology for the rebels.
Upon learning of Barkov's actions, the UNSC dispatched an ODST squad led by Nick Reyes to retrieve the scientists and any data and technology relating to Project GUNGNIR. Barkov engaged Reyes in a running gunfight before being spaced by the ODST, by way of the same airlock he himself had used to space Captain Dane during his initial mutiny 15 years earlier.
