## **Biography**

### **Early Life**

#### **Childhood**

Oskar Laake was born on the year 19 P.T. on the planet of Mars, within its capital city of New Oslo. He lived amongst the high class of Martian society due to his grandfather's political and military influence before Marshal Laake's exile. For most of his childhood he studied in a private institute in the city and was shunned by his peers for pertaining to the same family as the former Dictator of the Sol Imperium.

Instead of becoming bitter and apathetic towards his colleagues, he was humbled by the experience and developed his current day personality he is known for. Some time during his youth, he inherited his family's Metahuman lineage and developed an ability to manipulate sonic waves.

#### **Service in the Military**

Around the year 38 P.T., Oskar entered the Agent Programme of the Terran Defence Organization and in a year's time became an Officer. During his time in the military academy at Minseach-Valencia, he met Clara Wolf whom he befriended and a year later Angelo Fox whom he also became friends with.

By the end of the Programme, he was transferred to Terra Base under Colonel Klaus Teuber's team, while Clara went on to become a Darkwater agent and Angelo a Gendarmerie Ranger in Madrid.

### **Iron Nations: Legacy**

#### **Mission for the Ruby Sword of Enton**

In 46 P.T., Agent Laake was tasked by Colonel Teuber to organize a team for a mission regarding the retrieval of a powerful relic called the Ruby Sword of Enton. After one of Terra Base's psychics detected the civilian Henry Davis to be the chosen wielder of the Sword, Oskar was dispatched to bring him to the Base. He visited the civilian's grandmother and waited for his arrival, later taking him to Terra Base by car. It would be during this trip that the two were attacked by a Vortex Soldier and were forced to escape via gunship after defeating the metahuman.

As their negotiations with Davis soon broke down, Oskar contacted his long time friend Corporal Angelo to go and speak to Henry in his home in Zaragoza, so he could convince him to join his team and the mission. A few days later, Oskar and his team (comprised of Davis and Blanca) set off to Mars in order to investigate a former wielder, TDO Agent Maximillian Draxler and later faced off against the mercenary Felix Corrie while they were investigating an abandonded cave on Earth.

They then travelled inside the vessel CC-1251 Komet to the planet of Stagnum (located in the Core Worlds), to visit the Darkwater Base there. Reuniting with Commander Wolf, the group were forced to fight the mercenaries Paul Musso and Brock while the rest of the Etinson Mercenaries discovered the location of Enton while they were distracted. Racing to Enton after their victory in Stagnum, a battle broke out in the capital city, with Davis and Oskar facing Musso and Keane Valensi while Angelo approached the temple.

While Angelo dealt with the shadow monsters ravaging the city, he and Henry fought the combined firepower of the two mercenaries who stood atop a hill. Admist the inferno, Oskar was able to augment Henry's metahuman ability with Voltanium disks, making his partner able to temporarily put Musso out of combat. As their clash ended, he shot Valensi after he tried sneaking up on them, and after that decapitated Musso before he could scorch them after surviving the swarm of bees Henry had created. The two then raced to meet with Angelo, who had taken out the mercenaries Regine Kessler and Howard Etinson in the center of the city close to the dome which housed the sword.

As the pair ran through the city center, he was left behind by Henry who advanced faster after hearing gunshots coming from one of the stores leading up to the temple. Oskar finally catched up once Angelo and Henry both entered the building and found Felix Corrie dead and the last mercenary, Rose Kessler, nowhere to be found. The trio then led an assault on the domed building, with himself and Angelo swiftly taking out Norgaard's soldiers but becoming grievously injured by his ice spikes. After Davis managed to neutralize the Vortex Commander, he declared the mission concluded and took the Ruby Sword back to Terra Base, formally disbanding his team.

#### **Operation Pioneer**

Four years later, Oskar was promoted to Colonel and was tasked by his fellow Colonel Teuber to create a military unit to combat the Vortex efforts in the Midrim War. Calling in various allies, such as Angelo Blanca, Clara Wolf, Henry Davis and others. His mission was sidetracked however after investigating the death of Colonel Kingsbury's team in the planet of Vassallo, him and his Unit 505 captured the Sicarii Veskon and Laikana. Colonel Laake would spend the next few weeks fighting off the first three Pioneer entities that attacked New Vancouver and Base Tranquility in Novaterra.

He and the others were decieved however, as Laikana seeked to use the Abyss to reawaken the god Scotus and become the leader of the new Sicarii Empire. Whilst they awaited for the last two pioneers to show up and with the desertion of Angelo and a couple of military officers, Oskar was the one responsible with dealing with the press and congress, covering up what was really happening. Oskar was cast further into the sidelines after it was learned that Angelo and Veskon had killed the fourth creature at Squalor, and Darkwater had now been tasked with taking over the operation. He was one of the people that witnessed the final battle between Director Otto Laake and the fireborn Fifth Pioneer, later attending his grandfather's funeral at Hellas.

A few days later, Colonel Laake and a Darkwater team led by Clara entered the now opened Gate to the Abyss in order to revive Scotus with the help of Laikana. During their approach however they were attacked by Vortex forces and by Laikana himself. During the chaotic battle that unfolded and the subsequent fall of the dimensional prison with Henry's sacrifice, Oskar was amongst those who managed to escape. Following this last incident and the end of Operation Pioneer, Oskar would officially lead the rest of the Unit 505 into battle in the Midrim during the rest of the conflict.

#### **Atlantean Galactic Crisis**

Around the year 59 P.T., Oskar Laake was called to the planet of Benitan on the Midrim to rendezvous with Lieutenant General Crossley's Galactic Task Force in preparation for the assault on Atlann in hopes of liberating it from the Vortex. He arrived during the middle of the battle alongside Clara Wolf and Kai Kromer as part of Angelo Fox's reinforcementes for his extermination team to storm the Imperial Acropolis of Atlann.

Oskar remained part of Angelo's squad once his team split up to face the Vortex's Marshal Kassandra Scippius and the Supreme Praetor. Amidst his comrades and himself taking on the Atlantean tyrant, he was almost able to decapitate the enemy but was temporarily incapacitated after the effects of the Scarlet Moon afflicted him. After the battle, he congratulated Angelo on pulling off his nearly impossible plan before departing the planet with Clara.

## **Abilities**

### **Sound Wave Manipulation**

Oskar's Metahuman power allows him to completely master sound waves or ripples, such as the ones present in the water, to create powerful sonic blasts. This ability is quite versatile, allowing the Agent to move with a greater agility whilst also making him capable of fighting while using the wave's tremendous strength.
