Emil Jaeger and his Headhunters
Emil Jaeger spent his early life on the imperial planet of Athonia,
his young years consumed by gang warfare and gambling. When he was
23, he won a bet with one of his fellow gamblers for a Neon star
blaster, a light 8 man spacecraft. He spent his times travelling the
galaxy becoming a skilled mechanic as well as vicious combatant,
training on the planets of Krieg, Tallarn, Catachan and many more
from his tough upbringing he was more than an apt student in all
their different fighting arts, but never settled but carried on
travelling. Later he became a mercenary and assassin, preferring to
kill his enemy from afar, but never failing to draw his legendary
Kukri knife in the direst circumstances. He began to take acolytes
who he trained in the art of sniping, as well as field craft, who
accompanied him on his covert assignments; his acolytes later became
known as the Headhunters, due to their vast number of confirmed
kills.
Around the same time Emil purchased several prototype Proton long
rifles, very powerful snipers. On the battlefield Emil has been known
extremely hard to kill, underestimated in his knowledge of trickery,
many have claimed to have killed Emil, but only for another to have
sighted him in battle shortly after, some have even claimed to have
taken his head, only to find that it is actually the head of one
of their fallen comrades. An excellent mechanic, survivalist and
combatant, many enemy hero has been killed by his snipers bullet,
he also carries a lowly Las pistol, many of his victims have laughed
when he has drawn it, only to have been incinerated by its overloaded
blast. Emil Jaeger still travels the galaxy now, fighting in many
skirmishers, battles, and even full scale campaigns.
