Kabar

Kabar is the eldest member of Kaunan team. Born Tony Bowie in Texark, he is the Tikari expert in the ravine, which is ironic because his Tikari died the day he got it and he never got it replaced. Like his chosen name and avatar, the Tikari was a kabar/insect, now frozen in kabar form. He has dark grey armor, and a drastically shifty demeanor. He can be quiet and timid one moment and a raging monster the next.
Kabar joined Valhalla as the first of his team in 2207, shortly after the Tikari was first developed. He was inducted after dying while defending a historical monument in the ruins of San Antonio. Having lost all his comrades in the assault and expended his microwave rifle's battery, he continued to fight using his rifle as a club in the penultimate assault. He was injured but insisted on fighting in the final defense, firing with two projectile guns from his cot in the medical room of the ruins. Alf and Balder watched his death on an obscure new log and brought him in personally.
Kabar was granted his Tikari by Dr. Niide before he was awakened. Niide used Kabar's own knife as the basis for the creature. Kabar awoke timid and quiet, and loved his new body part with immense feeling. He was exceptionally skilled with it considering he was the first man to get one without warning and pre-education on its workings. That would prove disastrous when he broke his Tikari link while trying to perch it on his shoulder. The Tikari died and solidified back into a knife, and Kabar kept his knife as such ever since, never getting a new Tikari.
He shared his brief skills with all the recruits to come after him, becoming the ravine's Tikari expert.
== Behind the Scenes ==
Like all of K Team, Kabar is named for a weapon, in this case the KA-BAR knife, which has been the standard blade of the US Military since World War II.
