Hector Albrecht

"Bruh." ~ BruhHector Albrecht, also known by allies and enemies alike as the Geist of Anchorage, is an Alliance Headhunter, interrogator and convicted war criminal, known for his work in the battle of Anchorage during the Annexation of Alaska. There, he would rack up a massive body count consisting of both U.S. soldiers and civilians. He would also commit brutal war crimes in Anchorage, blatantly ordering his men to torture and kill civilians of all ages in order to break U.S. morale. 
Though imprisoned under Alliance jurisdiction, he was eventually let out to fight in the battle again after the Alliance began sending Headhunters to multiple fronts en masse in an effort to secure Alaska.
== Appearance ==
Outside of his suit, Hector is a caucasian man of average height and robust build. His dirty blonde hair comes down to his middle back in messy, tangled dreadlocks. He is often seen wearing some sort of brown or grey colored trenchcoat and black leather undercoat with leather gloves. Around his neck is an orange bandana. 
Hector's suit, a prototype A.S. Stürmer, is a bulky exosuit with white camo plates. Beneath these plates is the main structure of the suit, which is a network of flexible metal strips coiling together to resemble human muscle fibers. The helmet vaguely resembles a human skull, and has two filters at the mouthpiece.
== Personality ==
Hector often acts very nonchalant and in some ways friendly to his allies, and holds a degree of respect for Headhunters especially. However, as genuine as this respect for his allies is, to his enemies, he is a cold, merciless and sadistic man.
Hector is dangerously patriotic, believing that there is no single power on Earth greater than the Alliance, and has a major superiority complex when it comes to those from other nations. He takes great joy in making those who dare to stand against his country suffer, often ordering his men to torture, sexually assault or execute surrendering enemy soldiers or even civilians, or doing it himself. 
He seems to hold no regard for his actions, nor any sympathy for those he torments. Though he may be genuinely friendly to his squadmates, there is no doubt that Hector wishes to squash those who even pose the slightest threat to his country, even if it means performing the most vile and unforgivable acts. In his mind, he is always in the right.
== Backstory ==
=== Early Life and Entering the Military ===
Born on December 7, 2023 in Edmonton, Alberta, Hector was raised by a single father who was a veteran of the Visarian Genocide. Due to the trauma placed upon him by the sights of the genocide, Hector's father would force himself to believe that what his nation did was right as a coping mechanism, until it eventually became reality for him. This lead to Hector living a heavily patriotic life, his father viewing all other nations outside the Alliance as inferior, which lead to Hector sharing the same mindset.
His father, a rampant alcoholic, would eventually die due to liver failure when Hector was 25. Wishing to follow in the footsteps of his father, Hector joined the Alliance military a month later. As a cadet, his proficiency with firearms and martial arts was quickly realized, and when he entered service in 2050, he quickly became one of the top candidates for the Alliance's Headhunter Program.
=== The Stürmer Program ===
Come the end of 2051, the Alliance began making preparations for the annexation of Alaska. One of the many war-based projects the Alliance took up during this time was the development of highly advanced exosuits known as "Anti-Super Strümers". The intended purpose of these suits was so that they could be worn by regular infantry in order physically contest with superhuman opponents. However, these suits were highly experimental, so for testing, they selected random Headhunter candidates who possessed no known superhuman abilities. Among them was Hector.
When tests were performed, it was revealed that the hydraulic motors powering the suit's limbs were far too powerful for regular men, producing more torque than the human body was capable of handling - during testing, reports of injuries in the suits were common, including torn ligaments, broken bones, dislocated shoulders, and in one case, a fractured spine. Hector was the only one to perform these tests without injury.
After numerous tests without injury, it was decided that Hector was the only one capable of using this version of the suit out of the selected candidates. Alliance engineers would redesign later suits to fit a more stealth-based role with far more safety mechanisms in place, however Hector was soon selected to be a Headhunter due to the results of the tests, and was allowed to keep his now signature exosuit. 
=== Annexation of Alaska ===
Not long after becoming a Headhunter, Hector was sent to Alaska when the annexation began. He quickly became known for his brutal and merciless tactics on the field, however, he would become truly notorious during the battle of Anchorage.
==== Battle of Anchorage ====
Eventually, Alliance forces began to overtake major Alaskan cities, with one of the largest and bloodiest battles taking place in Anchorage. Much of Hector's work there was classified, however, he did admit to committing several warcrimes including ordering his men to publicly torture, sexually assault and execute civilians and U.S. soldiers, performing many of these vile acts himself. Though jailed for his actions, he was released by the Alliance during the latter half of the war in their efforts to send Headhunters to multiple fronts.
== Powers and Abilities ==

=== Natural Skills, Abilities and Traits ===
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Hector is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat, able to take on numerous opponents at once with superb reaction speed. He has a preference for utilizing techniques seen in wrestling and grappling martial arts such as throws, body locks and slams, though is still proficient in striking martial arts such as boxing.
Enhanced Physiology: As Hector is able to handle the power of his exosuit with no injury, it is clear that he possesses a body far more robust than the average human's. 
Expert Interrogator: Hector is a master of interrogation. He is easily able to get inside someone's head through mental drilling, and though he typically leaves physical torture to his underling Colton, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty if he has to.
You Will Break: Hector is a master of psychological warfare, indulging in the mental pain of others. He aims to completely break his opponent's psyche before killing them. This can range from building a false sense of hope within the opposition only to completely knock it down, mentally abusing them, or to subjecting them to acts of torture. 
== Equipment ==
As Hector possesses no powers, he relies on his exosuit to fight with superhuman opponents.
A.S. Stürmer Prototype Exosuit: An incredibly advanced exosuit and the precursor to the A.S. Stürmer suits and the A.S. Jäger suits, Hector's prototype Stürmer suit is built to fight on par with opponents who possess superhuman physiology. It is made out of a highly durable graphene plating and is powered by hydraulic motors that give Hector an incredible degree of strength and speed in the suit. It is equipped with:
* Heads-Up-Display that shows vitals of user and those around them.Utilizes highly advanced trajectory tracking software to predict the path of a moving object, allowing users to avoid or block oncoming subsonic projectiles. Additionally, it will notify the user of things such as internal and external temperature and the suit's current functional capacity.
* Insulation to prevent the user succumbing to the freezing Alaskan climate.
* Graphene Plating that is light and incredibly durable, able to resist sustained smallarms fire and multiple strikes from superhuman opponents.
* Hydraulic Motors powering the limbs of the suit, allowing the wearer to lift, pull and push objects usually deemed immovable for regular humans, as well as give them greatly enhanced striking power. The hydraulic motors in Hector's suit are much more powerful than those in other Stürmer suits, allowing him to move and lift objects weighing several metric tons and strike opponents hard enough to fling them several meters, though due to the noise they produce, the suit is unfit for stealth operations.
Combat Knife: Hector is always carrying a large Alliance issue combat knife with him.
