## Overview

::DOE-88176:: Also known as "Vet" (Short for veteran) serves currently as a section commander of the 103rd Infantry detachment. Vet is the oldest serving member of the 103rd who had been designated there since the beginning of it's establishment. A trooper who has survived far beyond the life expectancy of his kind. As a trooper Vet has a passion for light recon and marksmanship becoming masterful at it. Instructing other troopers in marksmen ship principles and light recon tactics in a hope to leave his haunted past and start on a new path to special operations.

## Injuries and setbacks:

Although he had served since the 75th year of era of HAV'OC, Vet struggled to get recognition or promotions. Normally a trooper of his decoration and time of service would be far into the Core of shock infantry or even a Pathfinder, however Vet struggled with a long history of injuries. His obsession to go far above and beyond to keep his troopers alive often leads to neglect his own safety. over his service vet has suffered 8 fatal combat wounds many of which has almost resulted in execution. Fortunately Vet has cheated death every time, even the suicidal nature of the campaign of Martius II couldn't end him. Due to his injuries Vet is often overlooked for promotions and at times is seen unfit to do anything outside of barracks.

## The campaign of Martius II:

Vet served as an infantry enforcer of the 103rd Infantry during the campaign. He deployed and took part in every single task and operation, managing to cheat death every time. Vet was an outstanding trooper, over the time of the campaign; he had saved lives of both pure talon and his non pure brothers, took full control of chaotic situations and lead his brothers to victory all while only being a mere enforcer. His service on Martius II earnt him the distinguished Talon cross and many of his other awards.

However his glory came at a cost. Vet outlived his detachment, his commanders and his brothers. He watched every single one of them die around him one by one. Until the end of the campaign where he was the only one left. Vet carries the burden of living out the legacy of his detachment, passing on the history of the once famous detachment. Vet is haunted by this, a curse that he wishes to escape.

## Fortress Grim 14:

At first Vet spent most of his time in recovery. Healing his body and mind, a luxury that his awards had granted him. Currently he serves as a section commander and sniper instructor for the 103rd. Hoping to one day establish a strong leadership structure in the 103rd so that he may finally leave and start a new path in special Operations
