2 months into his Imperial Academy training, Kerrik took part in an intelligence gathering operation targeting a newly discovered Rebel cell. Despite the meticulous report generated by Kerrik and his fellow cadets, the local garrison deployed an excessive force to clear out the cell, and over 53 innocent civilians were killed in the strike. Despite the final report pinning the civilian deaths on the Rebels last stand, Kerrik knows the truth. Disgusted by the actions of the commanding officers he had held in high esteem, he fled the Academy and sought out a Rebel agent his research had just turned up.

Creed: Strive for Excellence. If you're going to do a job, do it well. To perform poorly is to disrespect your teachers, and the opportunities you have been given in life. Kilian will do what he can to keep his fellow soldiers at peak performance, from training with them, fighting alongside them, to just lending an ear in times of self-doubt.

Quest: "Rescue": before he fled the Academy, Kerrik was courting a fellow student, a Pantoran by the name of Kyra Malheur. Last he heard, she was scoring top marks and was rumored to be a prospect for advanced courses elsewhere in the system. If he gets an opportunity, Killian will do everything he can to convince her to defect.

Operational Planning (35): For the Rebellion to prevail, They will have to beat forces with superior numbers, resources, and reach. A proper assessment of the operational theatre and all actors is vital to the success of every mission. Kerrik will keep a particular eye out for any potential collateral damage, and take steps to minimize it.

Standing tall at 6'3", and with bright blond hair and blue eyes, Kerrick is used to sticking out in a crowd. He also knows how to take advantage of a quick change of color to avoid detection.
