Aleksandr Rumiantsev Suvarov
Age 29 in 1200

by Alvin Plummer

Occupation: Champion

Attributes: 7C5774-2

Background:
Born on Deneb/Deneb, Suvarov's childhood dream was to join the Regency Marines. He served two tours in the Marines with distinction, obtaining several citations and metals, including the Regent's Star for spearheading an attack on a nasty enemy strongpoint in 1194.

All that he worked for was lost when he callously murdered a non-combatent on the battlefield in 1196. Although his unit didn't report this crime to the authorities, rumour's about his action eventually reached an officer, who set court-marshal proceedings in motion. Because of his previous heroism Suvarov wasn't shot: instead he was given 100 lashes with a neurowhip and dishonourably cashiered, with his life savings paid out to the victim's wife as restitution.

Without honour, without his friends, and without a future, Suvorov would soon have destroyed himself in drugs or drink if he wasn't rescued by a compassionate priest. After repenting of his sins, paying penance, and converting into the Imperial Church, he requested and, after careful testing using Zhodani techniques, was allowed to join the M.O.C.

His sterling record with the M.O.C. has finally landed his first independent assignment, with Adept Flourentine: an opportunity to prove himself a reformed Christian that Suvarov has been waiting for.

"Code" is a method of communication using symbols, gesters and subvocal sounds to convey information secretly. Taught in certain regiments of the Regency Marines.

Appearance:
Unattrative, though not repulsive. A hard, bony face, framed by dirty blond hair, is set upon a 6-foot sinewy, big-boned body. Clothing is either ill-fitting civvies or worn military fatigues. Has a thick Denebi accent when he speaks, which is seldom. Sticks close to the Adept in the field.

Personality:
Laconic. No longer beat's up people on impulse, but is still tempted. Despite his distain for authority he is loyal to his order and his God, and is both quick-witted and fearless in action. His great goal is to obtain fame and renoun, to cleanse his name and be a hero to his people, `to sieze the Glory'. His every action, every though is directed to this one goal.

Possessions:
A large array of field equipment (ie tents, radio's, etc)
Marine Cutlass (bought secondhand: his own was broken in disgrace)
4mm Gauss Rifle - 12
commo kit * 2
medical kit * 3
