**Dragomir Konstantinov**, known more commonly by his professional name as **The Justicier**, is a Solovran bounty hunter, arena fighter, and mercenary. In the 23 NE Vigilian Games, he qualified for the Vigilian Grand Tournament and competed for the final prize.

## History

### Early life and career

Dragomir Konstantinov was born, most likely, in one of the station-states of Ascendancy-occupied Solovrat, although he may have also been from any of many isolated spacer communities in and around Brestover space.

He claimed to have gotten his education in how to fight at a very young age, starting in his early teens, with one of the major human private military contractors the Ascendancy employed as auxiliaries to maintain order in Solovrat, which it directly colonized. Those companies often did the Ascendancy's dirty work, and Dragomir distinguished himself as one of its best agents.

### Bounty hunter

Sometime after the breakout of the Second Concourse War, he and a crew of likeminded officers and privates, including his woman, left his company and began working for themselves as bounty hunters and lawmen hunting down escapees, criminals, and wanted men for local station-states. They appeared to have a knack for it, due in great part to a rare combination in Dragomir of talents, traits, and instincts.

However, the lucrative contracts doled out by the Ascendancy governor, Pako Tharn, were still elusive and jealously guarded by the private military companies whose ranks they had left.

#### The Gal Sándor Stunt

Dragomir's crew could have continued to labor in obscurity had they not hatched the perfect stunt to get Tharn's attention. They spent months working their contacts in the PMC's until, one day, they were able to obtain a high profile case file which the Ascendancy governor had handed down, a bounty for Gal Sándor, a fugitive and Commonwealth organizer in the Solovran population he wanted the PMC's apprehended. He promised a lucrative reward for those who succeeded in bringing him in and punishments for those who failed.

Dragomir and his crew began their search for Gal Sándor, who was as skilled at evading capture as the Solovran military contractors (and those trained by them) were in tracking down and apprehending fugitives. So Dragomir did not even try to track him down. Instead, using his crew's reputation as PMC's-turned-independent-lawmen to their advantage, he faked a turn to the Commonwealth resistance and pretended to aid them, feeding Sándor information which helped him evade capture by the PMC's while making the companies look like idiots.

After months of this, Dragomir lured Sándor into a trap of his own design, killed his men, and bagged the Commonwealther. He made his escape, fighting through PMC's as they arrived. He presented the resistance leader to Pako Tharn, who offered to retain him and his services. Dragomir gladly, and graciously, accepted.

#### The Justicier

Dragomir grew into his name and role as the Justicier in his time serving the Ascendancy Remnant, from about 8 to 11 NE. He apprehended Commonwealth resistance fighters, returned escaped slaves, assassinated treacherous or incompetent PMC officers, carried out retributive violence against insufficiently loyal communities, among other business. He fought in the Battle of Solovrat on the Remnant side before evacuating with the Remnant to the eastern provinces of the Naissian Empire once the Karians arrived.

At Vigila, he continued to work as an enforcer, bounty hunter, and mercenary for various Aoshanti employers, gaining a reputation which transcended his race. While working, even while interacting with clients, he wore an armored suit with a helmet which concealed his face and protected his identity. Rather than Dragomir, he became The Justicier, and never seemed to take the mask off or drop the act. Increasingly, as his original crew variously betrayed him, were killed, or left, he began to work alone.

As a diversion, and to prove he was still the best close-combatant in the region, he fought in arena matches against increasingly difficult opponents. An arena enthusiast on Vigila took notice of him and decided to sponsor him for increasingly more prestigious tourneys, until Dragomir's pastime became his full time gig, and his full time gig landed him at the finals of the most prestigious tournament in Aoshtai.
