Darren Konrad
Cultured Cutthroat
Strengths
Cultured: Konrad can be remarkably urbane and charming, and is often seen on the rare occasions when the Privateers attempt diplomacy.
Cutthroat: Konrad is skilled in the arts of warfare, and can capably oversee most ground-based military engagements. Nor is he averse to getting his own hands dirty when the situation calls for it, being skilled with most small arms or his own two hands.
Weaknesses
Just A Man: Konrad is an unaugmented, non-Force-Sensitive human male with no special abilities, save those cultivated through time and experience.
Personality/Beliefs
Possessed of a cultured elegance and charm that are utterly lacking in most of his colleagues, Konrad is occasionally dispatched to negotiate during particularly-tense situations, or to handle especially important operations while his superior is busy.
Nonetheless, under the impeccable grooming and upper-class Coruscanti accent, the Colonel is as much of a ruthless killer as anyone else within the Privateers. This seeming dual nature has garnered the Colonel a small cult of personality within the Privateers, where organic members tend to be few, and thus well-acquainted.
Still, the Colonel is a very different man outside of his duties, keeping his personal and professional lives strictly separate. He is generous to his friends, fair to his subordinates, and treats most strangers with an early, urbane friendliness.
In private, Konrad has doubted both his superior's goals and his sanity for a long while. In time, this doubt coupled with his own ambitions may lead the Colonel to strike out on his own.

Character Backstory
As the Helix Privateers grew fat off the galaxy's bounty, their personnel requirements grew. The mountainous logistical burden of so many deployments and operations at once soon became more numerous than Helix himself could physically hope to oversee.
As such, operations began to be delegated to trusted overseers more and more often. Darren Konrad is one such overseer.
One of the few organics of serious station within the Privateers, Konrad is reportedly part of Helix's inner circle, a position he took in a surprisingly short period of time.
It takes a particular sort of sociopathic ruthlessness to thrive within the Privateers, and Konrad has so far fit the bill flawlessly. The Colonel has been a member of the organization for only a short time, yet his meteoric rise has astonished other, more long-serving members.
His history before joining the organization is foggy at best. Some suspect he is a not a man at all, but something else, something that hides its true nature under slick blonde hair and a dangerous calm. Others believe he was once a disgraced Galactic Alliance military officer. Still others believe that Helix purpose-grew the Colonel out of a cloning tube, so in-tune is the Colonel with his purposes.
Whatever the truth, it is clear that Konrad is held in high regard by his superiors. Time will tell if this remains true, or if his trajectory only ends in disgrace... or death.
