KOTOR 3 - The Operative

KOTOR III: Twilight War character number two.

Garis Krieg, the Operative
Species: Human
Homeworld: Sluis Van
Age: 27

“Captain Garis Krieg reporting for duty. What’s my target and how soon do you need it gone?”

One of the foremost agents of the Republic’s fledgling Office of Judicial Intelligence, Garis Krieg is an elite commando and field agent, intensely trained in intelligence, counter-intelligence and urban warfare. Instructed not only by Republic navy and judicial officers but also by Mandalorian warriors sent from Dxun, the Operative is able to survive and excel in any situation. Taciturn in attitude and brief in speech, the Operative often comes across as blunt and humorless to others. However Krieg is a tactical and pragmatic thinker with a love of irony and understatement. His latest assignment has seen him partnered with a Jedi Seeker named Naia Sunfell, on am mission to the Ennth system, Though Garis knows the value of improvisation and unorthodox thinking, he finds the Seeker’s habit of pursuing every lead at the same time and doggedly helping every pathetic life-form she encounters to be trying at best, and and often clashes with the much more idealistic Jedi over the exact nature and methods of their mission.

Garis wears a cutting-edge Republic infiltration suit made of reflective Ferroplast alloy and modified for field operations. It is air-tight to protect against vacuums and germ weapons, contains air-filters and an oxygen supply of two hours as well as numerous high-frequency sensors and utility equipment. His personal weapon is a modified Aratech T-14 Assault Blaster with Tri-Light scope and an underslung Ion Bolter attachment for anti-droid use, but he is trained in a variety of both armed and unarmed combat techniques, especially the use of vibroswords.

Author notes:
SpectorKnight: “Garis Krieg’s surname, if you don’t know, is an homage to my favorite character from Legacy, Ganner Krieg, whose name was an homage to another bad-ass, Ganner Rhysode. I guess I’m just keeping the cycle going. His physical appearance, (ZERO designed his face) and personality are both strongly influenced by Daniel Craig’s James Bond, particularly in Casino Royale. He’s a character that’s always been driven to succeed, and he’s not someone you want to mess with either. He has a very interesting relationship with the Seeker because, even though he’s not exactly by the book himself, she operates by an entirely different one and rather loosely at that. What annoys him a lot is how effective her seemingly ineffective methods can be. He’s one of those people who really don’t understand how the Force works for the Jedi, and he’d sort of prefer it to stay that way. Also he was brought up near the shipyards of Sluis Van during last part of the Jedi Civil War, so he has a real love of spacecraft of any kind. It’s sort of his only interest beyond performing to the best of his ability in missions. He also likes cartography. Maps and stuff.”

ZEROresolution: “We went though like eight different color schemes for him before Spector was finally able to decide on black and orange. The armor is all Spector’s in this case, but I designed his helmet. It’s supposed to have a Mandalorian influence to it. Also he keeps a claw-shaped knife on the back of his belt, even though you can’t see it.”
