He has reddish glowing eyes. His face is scarred from living a life encased with battles, wars, and skirmishes. He has a toned body, not muscular, that he keeps in good physical shape. He sports a shaved head, that also has scars on it and a neatly trimmed goatee. Also, he walks with a slight limp, favouring his right leg. He wears basic armour that can be found at any shop that sells them. When not wearing armour, he is wears casual clothes (pants, boots, shirt, vest, gunbelt).
Personality:
He is prone to keeping to himself, speaking only if spoken to. During fighting situations, he is a chatterbox offering up tactical advice to Ciara Jevnaker. He is calm and collected, even during engagements and not easily rattled. He has a nasty habit of rubbing the scars on the left side of his face, sometimes picking at them. He likes to drink a lot.
Weapon of Choice: Sniper rifle.
Wealth: He has enough credits to live his chosen lifestyle. His days as a Bounty Hunter contributed to this.
Combat Function:
During combat, his two main strengths are using the environment around him for cover. The other strength is his marksman skill. His main weakness is melee combat, so he avoids it at all costs. Close quarter fighting is not his forte.
He works alongside Ciara Jevnaker, providing suppressing fire or taking out long distance targets for her. He only follows her orders.
Skills:
Marksman. Years as a bounty hunter as refined his ability to hit targets with deadly precision. In his free time, he can be found honing this skill at gun ranges or hunting small animals. When he isn't drinking.
Decision Making: He can assess a situation quickly and act accordingly to it. Especially when he is threatened to fight in melee situations.
Notable Possessions: Carries a holovid of his dead wife and son.
Other Notes:
He served a brief stint in the Republican army where he was taught military tactics and received his military training. After the death of his wife and son, he left the army and took to the life as a bounty hunter, taking only contracts that dealt with bad people. He openly refuses to kill woman and children, unless the woman is a military target or is a direct threat to Ciara Jevnaker.
While living the life as a bounty hunter, he developed a nasty drinking habit and has been known to frequent bars and cantinas to often. Ciara Jevnaker has been his biggest supporter in helping him get his drinking under control. That is one of the reasons he has pledged loyalty to her.
Despite his calm bravado, he has a fear of flying.
