SRS Profile: EPIMETHEUS

Kazagal Headsmasher originates from an UNIDENTIFIED MOUNTAIN VILLAGE presumably located somewhere in the general vicinity of STANDARD QUADRANT TE-218A-D. He encountered AD/IS102 ('DAMOCLES') at some point between 2388-2396¹ and accompanied him when contact was made with AD/IS101 and subsequently the other crew members of the SWIFT MERMAID.² Headsmasher became personally involved in a feud with a non-physical entity² shortly after debarking in PONVARUS on 15 julien of 2397. Acting against counsel, Headsmasher enlisted with the HELLKNIGHT ORDER OF THE NAIL, becoming an armiger, citing divine encouragement and urgent necessity as chief reasons for this undertaking. On 20 ordinarien, Headsmasher conscientiously objected to a test of loyalty³ imposed upon him by his instructor. He escaped from the premises of the Swift Mermaid afterwards, and is now presumed to be a wanted fugitive of the Hellknight Order of the Nail whilst the exact circumstances surrounding situation ES/PON remain obscured. Headsmasher has described himself as a friend of DAMOCLES.
 
Headsmasher has demonstrated a certain cunning behind a somewhat bumbling personality. His primary concern is the well-being of his family, and can be expected to take action accordingly with minimal regard for personal endangerment. Further, Headsmasher is the instrument of the Swift Mermaid's undersea transportation capacity, as he successfully reverse-engineered this effect from a seized enemy sail during OPERATION AKKONITE HORSE. When he was last seen, Headsmasher casually dressed in a dark brown longcoat with ZIMEAN CHARACTERISTICS over a matching tunic and trousers, though he tended to wear a set of white-and-gold dwarvish plate armour inscribed with the symbol of FULMINATUS for most engagements.
 
His fickle behaviour renders him a moderate threat to integrity. Elevated discipline is recommended.
 
Field officer’s addendum: Headsmasher was the source of several unwarranted romantic advances directed against me, starting from the very first time we spoke. Whilst I am no stranger to this line of behaviour (which in itself is quite tragic), he was particularly persistent. Annoyingly so. Despite me being grievously offended at the concept and openly hostile in demeanour.
 
Note for the Bureau of Control: Internal SRS Regulation V/1 allows field personnel to express themselves freely about occupational matters in official documentation as part of the voluntary personal evaluation. I consider my addition to be just, pertinent, and fully comprehended by the confines of 'occupational matters,' but they are strictly non-advisory and non-essential in relation to the profile at large. My interpretation of this formulation is supported by OMI directive SVK-H/SRS-X. In the absence of a therapist, ventilation becomes necessary; and this experience may serve as one of many empirical examples emblematic of the hostile social environment that women in the SRS will face during extraterritorial assignments.

¹ There have been contradictory accounts on the matter. Headsmasher maintains that they have known, and travelled around the world, with each other for eight years; DAMOCLES is known to have served in the SUCCESSION WARS which ended approximately two years ago. Headsmasher made no reference to this event, nor does he possess any practical reason to have interacted with the high aristocracy of the KANG prior to this. A wide estimate of the timeframe is thus provided.

² See file AN/SA0-ARN-UR.

³ Codename TARTARUS. See incident report ES/PON for details about Headsmasher's situation.

⁴ The instructor demanded that Headsmasher execute his own son. He correctly refused to carry out this order.
