Robert Kilgrave

Robert Kilgrave was an officer of the Compact Space Force and a part of the crew of CSFWV Bequeathed. As one of the first Rally-born humans to be a sanctioned officer, he was held up as an example of what the Broken could achieve with proper guidance. He was executed by Lydia Jameson for war crimes committed during the pacification of Vara Tal.

## Description

Kilgrave is described as a large man, with his face scarred with multiple parallel lines running down his cheek. He also wore a medal depicting a world enclosed by jaws awarded for his actions on Vara Tal.

## Personality

Kilgrave was a psychopath who reveled in the power given to him. He had little empathy for those around him, and enjoyed exercising his command over Grace Proctor. When informed of Allyria's supposed death, he reacted indifferently and was accused for being "glad she’s dead."

## History

### Birth and Early Career

Kilgrave was a Rally born human, and enlisted as a Compact marine. He rose through the ranks to Pack Leader and his Janissary unit, the 1121st Protectorate, was sent to Vara Tal to perform "peacekeeping duties." As a peacekeeper, he saved Special Director Unh’la from an ambush by Verrish insurgents, earning her gratitude. After the ambush attempt, his unit cracked down on rebellion, leading to the killings of several Verrish youths, and the execution of one of those youth's younger sister. The situation escalated, and Kilgrave eventually called an airstrike on a school misidentified as a terrorist training camp.

Due to rising tensions and further animosity toward the 1121st, the unit was pulled off-world and their actions buried. Kilgrave was saved from garrisoning deep range outposts by Director Unh'la, and was instead demoted to sectator and transferred to Fleet Operations.

For his actions on Vara Tal, he was hailed as a hero of Rally and used as a shining example of what Broken could achieve with the proper guidance.

### *The Last Angel*

Twelve years later, Kilgrave was assigned to the CSFVW *Bequeathed* as part of a training exercise of a shock jump. After warping to Terrahope and encountering the UECNS *Nemesis*, he was selected as part of the first boarding party onto the derelict ship.

On the *Nemesis*, he mostly forced Grace Proctor into compromising positions for the fun of it, ordering her into maintenance shafts, tight spaces, etc. so he could leer.

After Red One killed the crew aboard *Nemesis* and sent the *Bequeathed* into Terrahope's star, he was one of the 22 surviving human crew spared by the AI, where he acted as the spokesperson between the group and Red One. He decried the defectors as traitors to the Compact, and refused to join Red One when she offered the choice. He was then informed that he never had a choice, and his history on Vara Tal was revealed to the crew. Acting wholly unrepentant, Kilgrave continued insulting his captors until he was shot in the head by Lydia Jameson, killing him.
