Captain Ainson

"There is a time when every man must stand for himself and fight back. Fine words. Shame heretics believe them more than us."

Background
Alec Ainson grew up on Juno as the youngest son of minor nobility. As was usual for those of his station he was shunted off to the guard as an office on some backwater world where there was little chance of harm. He spent his entire first term working for an incredibly corrupt colonel who used his men in extortion and racketeering on the agri-world they were stationed at. Desperate to please his parents, he toed the line and soon found himself promoted up to Lieutenant when tragedy struck. His family were murdered in a brutal crossfire back on Juno and the inheritance he was left may as well have amounted to nothing.

Left bitter and jaded by the recent events, Ainson started railing against the corruption within the guard. Figuring he had nothing to lose by his actions he started accusing the highest echelons of blatant heresy and soon found himself shunted off to Enkidu to shut him up. Here he found himself under the command of Captain Dawson, an inveterate criminal and alcoholic.

Fortune found him at last however as evidence provided by an Acolyte cell operating on the planet allowed him to depose of Dawson and take over. While not in a particularly influential position and disliked by the majority of the officer corp, he none-the-less holds the loyalty of the troops and the authority to start making changes.

Uses and Opportunities
Ainson has little ability to affect decisions made at high command and nor can he call in large favors with troop commanders or the navy but he is able to provide basic guard gear and vehicles as well as small squads of men to help support the cell when required. He may also be able to provide Military Intel on locations or groups that have been monitored in the past. Finally he is very knowledgeable of the bureaucracy of the Guard and may be able to provide names and information relating to it.

Ainson is also likely to have a number of jobs for the Acolytes dealing with the corruption of the Guard if they wish to. He is likely to reward well for such actions though it may mean making enemies with the powerful and corrupt.
