Kieber

The image of Blitz from Rainbow Six: Siege was used for Kieber.

**Ronald Kieber** was a UDF operative and former police officer who worked with Emergency Security Extraction Team for seven years from 2115 to 2122.

## Early Life

Kieber was born in Berlin, Germany. His parents divorced when he was 7 years old, changing his outlook drastically. Where he was previously outgoing and friendly, he became withdrawn and antisocial. He began to act out, with increasingly disruptive acts of delinquency. Early psychological assessments suggest the divorce and sudden lack of a father figure caused him to harbor unresolved resentments towards both of his parents, leading him to lash out onto others.

His delinquency progressed as he got older, eventually coming to a head at age 14 when he was arrested for destruction of public property. Rather than simply dismiss him as a bad kid, one officer by the name of Andrej Weiz instead took Kieber under his wing. Thanks to Weiz, Kieber was able to channel his anger into sports. He played football in high school, frequently getting carded for unwarranted aggression towards other players.

When he graduated high school, Kieber finally confronted his father about his long-standing resentment, encouraged by Weiz. This allowed him to reach a point of tentative understanding with his father, and he was finally able to let go of his anger.

Inspired by Weiz, Kieber decided to become a police officer himself in 2104. His work with the Polizei Berlin soon attracted the attention of UDF and, after thorough psychological clearance, he was recruited to join the exo-world colonization program as a security officer aboard the Main Ship in 2109.

In 2110, he met fellow security officer Tanja Lehman. The two were married in 2113, and began to consider settling down to build a family. Kieber began to look into the possibility of retiring and moving to one of the colonies with his wife.

In order to learn more about the colonies, and their security, Kieber applied to join ESET in 2114. After being finally approved for deployment in late 2115, he learned his wife Tanja was pregnant. A few months later in 2116, their daughter Mathilda was born.

## ESET (2115-2122)

Kieber's initial impressions of colonial life were quite positive, due to his experiences with ESET showing the colonial security in a very good light.

However, that opinion drastically changed after the C-E29 Incident, in which over 90% of the colonial population ended up a casualty due to a massive security oversight. This eye-opening experience permanently turned Kieber away from the idea of living in the colonies, to the point of outright objecting to their existence entirely.

His relationship with the colonial program already tenuous, the departure of Segal from the team was the final straw for Kieber. He retired from not only ESET, but all affiliation with the UDF, believing the exo-world colonization program to be a misguided effort led by greed, more considered with scientific discovery than human life. Together with his wife and daughter, he returned to Germany and ceased all contact with UDF and UDF operatives, with the exception of one former teammate; Vasily Sivoy.
