Rill

"I trust him as far as I can throw him, but he is not the devil."

Attention: This article contains spoilers for the sequel of The Tanking League story. Proceed at your own discretion.

An old tank who has seen too many bad things in his life already. Someone who isn't above using his talent for manipulating people, Rill likes acting like he is a simple and agendaless heavy tank. He uses others when it's convenient for him; not out of ill will but simply due to stark pragmatism. "Friends" isn't really a part of his personal vocabulary, even though he will accept one-sided friendships offered by oblivious others. Can be quite ruthless in pursuing his goals. Little regard for ethics.
He takes few things seriously and has a rather morbid sense of humour. Only when things really crash and burn, he starts getting concerned, although he is also adept at seeing the signs beforehand and fixing the problem before it can become severe.

Personal history

After many travels through the East, he and his team had become powerful. One day, they heard about an aspiring clan, whose leader was said to be the "most powerful tank on Earth". They wanted to see for themselves and started a journey to the North, but got lost and ended up in the territory of the CH Clan. They got kicked out, but Rill's leader forced them to sneak through the territory anyway. Rill refused and got left behind.
Sitting there at the border and waiting to starve, he was found by the Tanking League and joined them.
The months went by and he seemed to thrive, although he mostly kept to himself and was generally aloof. This changed at some point; while keeping up the act, he started pulling strings in the background. A newfound sense of purpose drove him.
As Sky, the leader of his team, started falling from grace, he saw his chance and seized the leadership together with Eject. They kicked out Sky, although they allowed her to return later under the condition that she acknowledged them as the new leaders.

But what does he want?

Little is known about what really drives Rill, but it may just be a hunger for power and strength. On some days, or even weeks, all this drive disappears, however and he becomes gloomy and apathetic.
