Cridrac of Garbrann

Kiellar Command (formerly)

Kiellar-Engineering Academy (formerly)

## **Strengths and Weaknesses**

### Strengths

Cridrac's prior military experience has given him proficiency in reconnaissance and close-quarters combat. While he is skilled with a long-range weapon, he prefers his electric batons.

Cridrac's cybernetic enhancements increase his reflexes and tactical prowess on the battlefield.

### Weaknesses

Cridrac received massive cybernetic implants during his younger years. These are very susceptible to electrical shock, which is ironic considering his weapons of choice.

## **Personality**

*"That is my emotional storage unit, it allows me to store any items, which may invoke performance-disturbing emotions in a prudent and economical manner."*

His education at the Kiellar-Engineering Academy has rendered it difficult for him to express himself in an emotional manner. He spent two decades of his life there, so the basic ideas are permanently engrained in him.

Cridrac's loyalty to authority figures is only outmatched by his will for survival, something which kept him alive for so long across a spectrum of tactical operations.

## **Background**

Cridrac was born on the planet Laibos, a Kiellar planet through and through. His father, Garbrann, was a supporter and believer in the mission of the Kiellar-Engineering Academy. At age 10, Cridrac was sent to the KEA, where he completed the course at a record pace of two decades.

Soon after graduation, he was assigned to a wide variety of military operations, making a career as a specialist. Sometime during this time he became affianced to Shina of Sardan, with their conjoinment planned after his retirement to the private sector.

On his last tour before retirement, a mutiny broke out on the low-risk post he had selected in order to minimize the risk of such an event taking place. Although he managed to neutralize several mutineers, he soon found himself trapped in a standoff. He surrendered to Nidheon the Connected.

## **Voyages**

After successfully "negotiating" for a spot for himself and his three Kiellar comrades on the crew, Cridrac would lie low. During the operation on Pleasure Haven, he organized the extraction mission which secured the Commander. Although they defended the Defiance initially, Cridrac and his team didn't get involved in the rescue mission on Gadawei IV. Disappointed at their inaction, Cridrac organized his informal group into Strike Team Tetra. Their first official operation was the successful rescue of the Captain during the battle with the T'zaths in Gollar territory and the subsequent processing of the battle's surrendered prisoners.

During the Gadawei IV operation, Cridrac provided scouting support. He wasn't able to participate in the battles directly as firing from his position would immediately remove his advantage. Cridrac convinced Vandul to join him on the operation to rescue the Captain from aboard the *Zerataca*. The operation nearly failed, but Cridrac managed to subdue multiple prisoners non-lethally, as recommended by the Commander.

Following the success of the mission, Cridrac disbanded Strike Team Tetra due to the loss of one of its members and the other two taking leave to visit Relenar. Cridrac left the crew of the Defiance, saying that his return had a high-chance of probability, before traveling alone toward his home planet of Laibos.
