Hypnos
Beirut-UN Auxiliary Corporal Gromov 44-08-2 Elector Alexander
"The unit's designated point man was one Corporal Gromov, an android of Vaduzian aristocracy. Apparently he was one of the victims of the infamous Bregenz, and as a result converted into a full-body prosthetic corpus before the age of thirteen - unprecedented outside of medical emergencies such as this - and acquired his monicker of 'Hypnos' from a perpetually dispassionate, sleepy demanour when out of his VEX that apparently comes as a side-effect from his specific brain-machine-interface. He holds his own around the other pilots not through physical power or force of personality, but out of a highly focussed aptitude in piloting and a barely concealed sense of superiority, especially against 'ground vermin' planet-dwellers. He radiates the aloof, blunt yet soft-spoken personality stereotypical of Vaduz, but one only needs to see his mech in action to see an eagerness for open combat that borders on naked bloodlust."
"Cpl. Gromov apparently had the simulation-scores to qualify for Void-Witch recruitment, yes. But a surplus of qualified applicants combined with his overly aggressive and risky piloting style led to an illustrious career in the rank-and-file VSDC instead, which in turn led to his application for Union Auxiliary duty. He's not the most strategically-minded or ambitious of the group, content in following orders and applying his mind to more moment-to-moment tactical matters, but he has a certain animal-cunning when he's piloting his mech, a raw expediency and opportunism that - along with his enthusiastic advocacy of the VSDC's Psychological Deterrence doctrine of fighting - has left me sleeping with one eye open. That said, I can't deny that I feel safer when he's on point for those same reasons."
"Hypnos was among the last of the so-called Bregenz Kinder to sign up for military service, too young and too late to join in on the initial retributions, but he dropped into his first combat-zone just as angry as the ones that fought just after having their home nuked. Most VEXes given the Black Witch retrofit stick to the middle of the pack in support-roles, but like many ghosts of Bregenz, Gromov's modded his Vex to thrive in the mayhem of close-quarters combat, rushing into knife-fighting ranges at the first possible opportunity and ripping into FCA armor and infantry alike with the sort of focused aptitude and brutality that's had propaganda departments on both sides of the conflict drooling over every pixel of captured combat-footage. Rumor is that he wept when the Third Committee called a ceasefire."
