My friend told me Sundowner reminds them a lot of Wulkir. And it's kind of true to be honest XD

Wulkir "Cutlass" Sturn

Director of Jester Peace Solutions, Private Military Contractor

Despite the massive amount of recruits the Galra Empire has at its disposal there is a never-ending need for highly trained and well equipped soldiers across the universe to help conquer worlds and put down uprisings. As such it has become an extraordinarily profitable endeavor to get work as a mercenary with Private Militaries- or even more so to run one.

Jester Peace Solutions (better known simply as Jester or JPS) is commonly found in some of the more intense warzones across the universe and is well known by Galra soldiers for both their ability and their extreme brutality- to the enemy and civilians. They're largely considered incredible to have on your side, but to be kept at a safe distance.

The very embodiment of JPS is their founder Wulkir Sturn, callsign Cutlass. A decorated history as a Tracker in the Imperial Army abruptly ended after being captured and disfigured by an enemy force. Because of the visual importance many galra, men especially, put on their ears Wulkir was given the opportunity for an early discharge due to them being cut off at the base and a cut across his mouth leaving him with a permanent smile.

He took the opportunity and used his background as a Tracker to freelance as a mercenary with high tier PMCs, making a name for himself, networking, and setting aside enough money that, when combined with his discharge payout, allowed him to eventually found Jester Peace Solutions. With his reputation and connections he managed to bring in former Trackers and Raiders to his company. With his skillset from the Trackers they managed to set themselves apart as shock troops with an extraordinary ability for ambushing and sabotage, but it was their sheer brutality that cemented their reputation.

Wulkir especially gained notoriety for a 'no prisoners' attitude and would give survivors of enemy encounters exceptionally grizzly ends- including strapping them to the ends of anti-aircraft cannons, dragging them behind JPS vehicles, crushing them with breaching hammers, and many other methods that have found their way onto shady Empire networks. He's even been known to give similar ends to men who try to abandon Jester before their contracts expire- making them a very dependable company for the Empire to hire due to their low dropout rate.

Thinking about Wulkir and Belost I get the feeling that they get along really well. Not just because Wulkir appreciates Belost as a professional and Belost knows a campaign is going to be much easier with Jester around- but because Wulkir is quirky enough that he gets Belost's wackiness. Wulkir's a rare type of serious who appreciates a good jokester so they just manage to mesh pretty well together.

It also makes their friendship really difficult on Belost's end because of all the war crimes on Wulkir's part :V Jester kills civilians en masse by Wulkir's orders and he is well established as a true monster when he has others at his mercy. But on the other hand Belost knows what Wulkir was put through and can understand the hatred that comes with something like that better than most.

Finally figured out a voice for Wulkir. All my galra boys tend to have really deep voices mainly for the combination of their natural taller height and more dense muscle and bone structure I figure that they also have thicker vocal cords.

After the incident that left Wulkir with a permanent smile, no ears, and nearly without a head he doesn't feel pain normally anymore. Almost all pain short of a gunshot registers with him but is more of an alert to an injury than anything else.

Sometimes it's almost enjoyable to him. Not in a 'feels good' kind of way, but in a strange way that fuels his adrenaline. His men have seen him get 'the crazy look' he normally gets when he's about to sledgehammer somebody while digging out shrapnel.
