Kerghan Volak

Kerghan Volak is the active captain of the marines aboard the Salvator Kai. He answers directly to Rogue Trader Kai. Volak is a man in his late forties, although he looks significantly older due to his weathered face, numerous scars and gruff manner. Kerghan keeps his long hair in a scraggly ponytail under his hat, and is usually found in full uniform, with either a dark sapphire cloak or a black greatcoat draped across his shoulders or on a chair close by.

Background Story
Very little is known about Cpt. Volak as far as his history is concerned. Even Rogue Trader Kai is hazy on the background details, but his heavily accented speech has led a few to believe he might originally be from Valhalla.

Volak himself is notoriously reluctant to speak of his past, which leaves most of the crew guessing. He does not seem to mind this.

Personality
Volak is a difficult man to get along with. He is as demanding as he is contemptuous towards peers and soldiers alike. He does not take lightly to insults or people questioning his motives or ability as a leader.

The only people he seems to offer respect are the Adeptus Astartes, whom he regards with poorly hidden awe, and he grudgingly accepts the command of Macharius Kai.

Rumors
- Volak used to be a commisar in the Scintillan 4th, but was dishonorably discharged.

- He used to be 2nd in command in the guard, but gained his position by killing the previous commander.

- He has a very exclusive bottle of liquor hidden somewhere in his chamber. Ideas abound about what brand it is.

- Some say Kerghan Volak once drank the Captain under the table in a bet, and that's how he got his ancient chain sword.
