Sergeant Casey

Staff Sergeant Casey is a Master of ordnance and a serious bad ass.

Description
Casey has yellow hair and wears an eye patch over a missing eye, when the rage builds even his empty eye socket will glow red. He spends his duty time in a personally modified loader frame.

983 years old by the time of the Second Battle of Hesstla, over his many years in service he has acquired the knowledge of cracking nano-forges and creation engines and has many templates to produce a dizzying array of armor and armament enhancements.

He is a Fifth Reformationist and a devout follower of their doctrines; He is allowed anti-aging therapies while in service, allowed cybernetic implants and/or cloned tissue if they are deemed part of his work, or needed to save his life, but not allowed genetic modification or prostheses outside of extremely rigid confines.

SUDS is absolutely forbidden. They believe that it does not preserve the soul and once that is gone, they are just homunculi without God's grace.

History
Casey joined the Terran Planetary Guard at sixteen, transferred to Space Force and saw combat by seventeen. Serving as a Powered Orbital Drop Assault, Power Armor trooper where he rose to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer 6, he is known to have fought in the Ring Wars, the Felgreth War, the House Mouse War and the Mar-gite War.

A couple centuries ago as part of 9th Armored Guard, he spent seven years in his Novastar-VII armor - Jemila, after a battle went horribly wrong and suffered a bad case of Operator Identification Syndrome. After hospitalization and therapy, he went Administrative for about ten years, then Maintenance for about twenty years, then went into Ordnance, finally rotating to 3rd COSCOM.

It was Casey who solved the issue with the Telkan Marine armor shoulder mounted grenade launchers, identifying the problem being with the wet print ammunition propellant.

After the TDH extinction event, during which he lost 108th MI specialist Peel, his girlfriend of over 100 years, Admiral Shtuklar authorized Casey to fab up a suit of Novastar-VII armor and deploy to Laglun-3 with First Telkan. The Admiral was not aware that his vague RoE unleashed Casey as an Æsir Ring Breaker. This did not impress The Sisters of Wrath, The Brotherhood of Mars, The Neko-Marines or The Orcs of Venus.
