So Bleak

So Bleak was a marine in Sergeant Shrake's 2nd squad in the XIVth Legion's 2nd Company.The God is Not Willing, Dramatis Personae He was a new arrival to the squad having survived the dissolution of the 1st Company and the destruction of half the XVIIth Legion in the Gris Mutiny. With a reputation for leaving deadly wreckage in his wake, he did not receive a warm welcome from his new comrades.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 1, US HC p.25 His moniker suggested he had lost too many friends to the Lord's push and he was treated accordingly.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 2, US HC p.42-43
Courage was not an issue and he had performed passably well in his own mind during the XIVth's action against Balk's Company. His shield's interception of a spear-point meant for Corporal Undercart's chest may have earned the officer's reluctant recognition, but So Bleak might have merely misinterpreted the nod.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 1, US HC p.25-26 He was morbidly fascinated with the pathological rivalry between the squad's heavies, Daint and Given Loud.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 1, US HC p.26 He lusted after Shrake, but she rejected his advances claiming he was plain-looking and charmless. In reality, she had a hard time keeping her hands off him.
So Bleak had several times felt a sense of premonition on the eve of disaster and always chose to get drunk in response. This did not go unnoticed by the Legion's sergeants.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 2, US HC p.43/46
