History

Gunther Harris was born in YE 10.

Pre-RP

Born in YE 10, Gunther and his family lived all like most others on the streets of Nepleslia. He moved from one apartment complex to another as his parents tried to eke out an existence but never able to hold onto a job for more than a few years. Throughout this time, he looked up to his older brother for guidance.

But this gradually turned into more of a one-sided rivalry as he turned 18 due to his brother's open interest of Yamataian. He also railed him as some kind of cultural traitor, but still at this time viewed him as his brother. This changed when Gunther was 20.

Their parents dying in violent riots, he disowned his brother for failing to protect their parents as was the duty of the eldest brother. His brother's lack of desire to seek revenge on those that caused the riots only served to infuriate him even more. So in a fit of rage, Gunther ended up joining the Nepleslian Space Marine Corps.

Achieving the rank of Sergeant before leaving in YE 37, Gunther had established himself as a non-sense leader with a talent for roguish operations due to his training in demolitions. He was recruited into the IPG Hellions as he left and completed his training as a “civilian” with a codename he will never reveal to anyone.

Now an independent “fixer”, Gunther makes himself valuable by helping anyone (gangs, corporations, etc.) find and “fix” their problems in any manner of the way they wish to employ. He maintains a brothel as a side business and for the kicks of being a pimp.

In an oddity, Gunther was called up for another mission by the Imperium in YE 43.
