Has a gun strapped to his side, many blades hidden throughout his person and is usually not found without a block of C4 or a strick of dynamtie located somewhere on his body.

(his 11th Centruy battleaxe)

*Brought up on the literature and media about the Medieval world of Old Earth, and therefore believes truly in the concept of the warrior.

Skills/Abilities:
*Ex-Alliance Special Forces...is trained in every weapon/explosive that exists on this planet.
*Extremely well versed in Medieval literature...but no one knows that
*Very in tune with his body...feats of strength and agility are not lost on him.

History: Brought up on a small border planet on the smallest of farms. Money was never a big part of his life, but farm work was. He built up his muscles by farmwork and spent his nights reading about the medieval past of Old Earth and watching every little bit of media he could find on the subject. On his 15th birthday he was given his favorite present ever by his parents...his 11th century battleaxe...which he named Guinevere. For years they went nowhere without each other...that was until he went to join the Alliance armies.

He was an instant success, always being the best of the best in all areas...all areas accept mental control. He was a seething, foaming war barbarian, hence the name "Barbarian" that was given to him by the Alliancehigher ups. He was entertaining to watch, and even though somewhat uncontrollable, he always got the job done. He was soon after chosen for theSpecial Forces unit, and became there go-to man for violence. He, however,was becoming too uncontrollable and they tried to go about getting rid of him in the Alliance way...sending him out on a mission with the goal of the other members being to have him not come back. Unfortunately for them, he realized what was going on, sent them a message back by having no one return and then disappeared for the longest time.

After that he found his way to some of the other border planets and played Robin Hood with the people in need, trading his skills for lodging and whatever little monetary compensation they could muster, if he took that at all. After a while, a good meal and a steady job seemed very attractive and he applied for a job here.

Sidenotes
- The Alliance knows of his existance, but saw no real purpose in going after him. They aren't scared, they just aren't looking forward to having further contact with him...in some ways he still intrigues them. He is somewhat of a legend in the Alliance Barracks as tale of 'The Barbarian' are still told at night when ale is high and morale is low

- He gained his fair share of enemies during his Robin Hood days and he has his fair share of bounties on his head. Oh well...keeps things interesting.
