"Total, full spectrum warfare is something that we will now unleash upon the Rebellion. They have proven to be far more capable than we ever gave them credit for. They are no longer a nuisance. They are no longer the disorganized moisture farmer militia we satirized them as. They are a threat. They are an organized military force. We will now treat them as such."

Personality: Distinguished by his courage, intelligence and resourcefulness, he feels an intense duty to defend his homeworld and protect innocents throughout the galaxy. He has always lacked conformity, and often attempts to broaden his horizons as much as possible. He has formed notable fraternal bonds with those he served with, but with this comes survivor's guilt in regards to those he has lost under his command throughout his military career.

He often tries to put himself into the mindset of his enemies, and sometimes disregards the big-picture view. Some of his physical mannerisms can be found as disturbing to some; very controlled posture and breathing, no fidgeting or wasted movements, becomes very still when in a confrontation, and never breaks eye contact with those he speaks with. He is methodical and calculates every move, even in his every day life. He is known to maintain a strict, regimented workout schedule, despite illness or injury, and is, in counter to this, a heavy smoker and drinker. Due to encounters in his military career, he has formed a hatred of canine animals.

When under stress, he becomes quiet, gruff and stoic; but has a notable aggressive nature otherwise. Often counter stress and fear with dry and dark humor. He can curse heavily, but makes an attempt not to. Has an hard work ethic, insatiable curiosity, and brutal honesty, and prefers to observe unknown situations rather than interact; showing comfort on the fringes of society.

Background: Born within a spartan cult in the wilderness of Corellia, like many of the Karath before him since the foundation of the Galactic Republic in 1,000 BBY, his life was early on one of warfare. His father, who served in the Senate Guard at the time of his birth, taught him the way of the Judicial Forces and the Senate Guard. His mother, a Republic Intelligence operative, also graced him with her skill set. With this upbringing admist a culture which emphasized self-reliance and minimal living, the military was the only right path for him.

In the outbreak of the Clone Wars, he enlisted to join the birth-born Republic Army, which was slowly reforming as a defensive force while the clone Grand Army of the Republic did the majority of the fighting. He distinguished himself when and where he could nonetheless as a combat engineer, and was a Sergeant at the time of the war's end. Following the conclusion of the Clone Wars and the formation of the Galactic Empire, he carried his service over to the Imperial Army. Suddenly thrust into a combat role with the restructuring the Grand Army of the Republic, he was part of the Imperial Army's contribution to the Western Reaches campaigns under Admiral Tarkin, including participation in the Antar Atrocity.

After the Western Reaches campaigns concluded, he was assigned to Sentinel Base once he had completed training as a Stormtrooper. It was a quiet assignment, during which he attempted to learn from other veterans, including clones, as much as he could in regards to martial arts, tactics, and strategy. Following the attack on the base, once security was restored, he proceeded to go through officer candidate school.

Now a commissioned officer at the age of 27, he went about ensuring those under his command were in the best shape and readiness he could achieve. Over the course of his career, he foudn that the Empire was lacking a key surface combat element; special forces. While they indeed had the Stormtrooper Corps, there was need for a scalpel at times instead of a sword. He began petitioning, to nearly anyone that would listen, about the need for a return of Special Forces to the galactic military. The galaxy needed it's ARC Troopers once more, but those in power disagreed greatly, and a noisy young officer shouting for radical military reform was not something many indulged.

Quickly, he found himself shipped off to a backwater posting on the planet Lothal. While the world allowed him rapid ascendence in the ranks, due to his competence and the astounding lack of it on the part of the forces stationed there, he came to dispise the top officers on the planet, Commandant Aresko and Taskmaster Grint of the Lothal Imperial Academy.

During this period of his life, he ended up marrying a fellow Stormtrooper officer who was also Corellian and stationed on the Lothal; Zindra Revel. During the course of their joint stationing on Lothal, they had two children and had what seemed to many to be the ideal Imperial family. Unfortunately, everything was not ideal; Zindra had a bad drug and alcohol addiction which exacerbated her psychological illnesses. It was this problem which landed Zindra on Lothal, and it was her powerful father, an ISB official and Admiral in the Clone Wars, who kept her in the service. On one fateful night, the Zindra's dark side was revealed in a dramatic display at the Academy which led to her discharge from Imperial service and forced rehabilitation and psychological treatment, as well as his divorce from her and gaining full custody of their children.

A few weeks after his divorce from his wife, the Lothal rebel cell began its activity, which he attempted to stop only to be hindered by the ineptitude of the troops under his command and those in command of him. When Grand Moff Tarkin came to the planet to bring things under order, he wasted no time in approaching his former commander. His meeting with Tarkin ended with his reassignment to the Stormtrooper Legion aboard the Sovereign. He was aboard the ship when it crashed on Mustafar, making it to the surface in an escape pod, unable to make it to a transport due to the damage to the ship.

He was able to survive on the volcanic surface of Mustafar by leading what survivors he could into the remains of the old Separatist base. After being picked up by the orbiting fleet, he returned to Lothal where he was promoted to Brigaider General, and later granted command of the 1,001st Legion on Anaxes. As the Galactic Civil War heated up into full force, various deployments lead to a steady rate of promotion, and growing legitimacy to his voice. Eventually his push for special forces was finally listened to and he was given command of the initiative which was overseen by Crix Madine.

Drawing from from what information he had on the Clone Commandos and ARC Troopers, as well as historical special forces units, he developed a training regimen which combined these various aspects into a singular unit. Initially called the Special Actions Group during its formative period, SAG quickly become known as something else; the Storm Commandos. It was not until after the destruction of the Death Star however that the Storm Commandos were ready for field deployment, but they have since been one of the busiest forces at the Empire's disposal thanks to the overwhelming support of their mission by Grand General Cassio Tagge.
