Ælfgar Korrapati was born a hundred and nine years after the colonisation of Avernus as the grandson of some of the first Midgardian immigrants to Avernus, and the son of a respected doctor. From a young age, he demonstrated a level of genius that few could match and an equal talent for battle. Unsuprinly he was given a place in the Avernus' Officers Academy and graduated at the top of his year, his scores riveling legends such as Samanta Khol and Archilles Waters. Ælfgar Korrapati proved to be a gifted but not exceptional officer, though the high level of marksmanship displayed by his subordinates attracted attention. This talent for teaching remained with Ælfgar Korrapati as he climbed the ranks until at the age of eighty then Major Ælfgar Korrapati was tapped for a tour of duty teaching marksmanship at the Avernus Officers Academy.

As well as being one of the better Rifle Instructors of the Avernus Officers Academy Major Korrapati used what free time he had to sit in on as many advanced classes as possible and learn all he could from his peers in their fields of interest. Soon enough he was teaching other fields such as Logistics, External Military Studies and several other theoretical courses. As time went by now Colonel Korrapati became one of the most respected professors of the Avernus Officers Academy and one of the better staff officers in the Imperial Trust as a whole.

Ælfgar Korrapati is both a teacher and an academic and loves both teaching his subjects and learning more about them. You have spent many an evening debating military theory with him and have found him both confident in his knowledge and willing to learn, a rare combination in your experience.
