Description:

Karl is fairly representative of the typical Solomani. He stands 185cm(6'1) and has a good solid build with a mass of 103 Kg (226lbs). He keeps his light brown hair short. Not nearly as close cropped as it was during his service in the Solomani Security Forces. But keeping it short is a habit he picked up during his years in the service. His eyes are a deep blue. He tends to dress in subdued tones. No need to draw attention to one's self. However, his clothes are well close fitting and well tailored.

History:

Karl Steiner was raised on a backwater planet near the rim. His parents, while they worked hard, were never quite able to provided everything they wanted for their large family. His school days were informative but troubled. Try as he did Karl could never applied himself to his studies. His time occupied with sports, friends, and girls He could wait till his first opportunity to jump off the rock his parents called home.

During the summer following his graduation while mired in boredom Karl was caught up in patriotic fervor. The year was 984, hostilities were increasing between the Solomani and the Imperium. The government redoubled their recruiting efforts and Karl was swept along with others into the World Defense Forces.

Following his Infantry training Karl was assigned to garrison duty on a remote part of his home planet. His time was taken up with field exercises and drill & ceremony. Not quite what he thought the Army would be, but he still gained a slight promotion to corporal. Still having no direction Karl thought things could be worse and he reenlisted in the Army. Hostilities begun shortly, the Solomani Confederation reasserted it control over long lost territories. Karl and his Unit had been involved in minor skirmishes until is planet was overran and occupied by the Solomani. Steiner was now one of many refugees.

Finding himself out of employment. Steiner evaluated his business opportunities. Noting war time economies and shortages, Karl and his new found associates decided to aid in lessening the hardships. Black-markets and underworld activities were wide spread. Karl's new calling was second nature. He spent several years limiting the effect of the black-market and hunting down thiefs and returning their stolen goods. As he built his skills he was recruited to pitch in with Janice Grillo and her crew. She specialized in transporting valuable goods a very profitable business if you can avoid piracy. His duties were to serve as security and track down leads to possible pirate rings. Steiner's leads lead him to Rikhani.
