A former military engineer and the Skadovsk technician.

* GoodIsNotNice: He lets Sultan and the Bandits live in Skadovsk because even they don't deserve to be left outside during an emission, but if you report Sultan's plan to hit the Loners to take over Skadovsk, he'll quickly devise a plan to throw a wrench in Sultan's plans while acting as if nothing happened.
