[B]Biography / history:[/B] Yair was born and raised on the streets of Tel Aviv. He grew up without any parents to speak of, and often affiliated himself with a local gang. Humanity might have been going through a golden age, but there would always be crime, and Yair was at the front of it. Yair took his first life in a gang fight when he was fourteen, and after that he was never the same. He stopped wanting to fight others and instead tried to help them. Staying with his gang, he acted as a medic. He helped those who overdosed or got in fist fights, and after educating himself would even go on to patch up bullet wounds and serious cuts and broken limbs. When Yair was 18, he got in with a full scholarship in Israel's most prestigious medical institution. He didn't quite have the grades that the other students had, but the dean of the school personally saw his work and was fascinated. He allowed Yair to enroll if he promised to keep good grades, and Yair did. 

After graduating medical school in the top 10% of his class, Yair went on to serve as a doctor in a hospital back home, in Tel Aviv. He liked the work and certainly liked the pay, but he couldn't help but a little smothered by being so close to home, seeing his old friends still in the same gang or long dead from gang violence. He wanted out, and that's exactly what he got. He applied to serve with Flagship Foundation, a megacorporation which funded colonies on frontier planets. Dr. Kahan saw this as an opportunity to help people who were helping humanity progress, and who were in the greatest danger, facing the unknown. Usually it was a great struggle to get professionals to go out to the frontier, so Flagship gladly accepted Yair's work and sent him to a planet dozens of light years away from Earth. He loved it there: exploring the unknown, helping people make a real life out on the frontier. 

He stayed on with that planet for three more years until he began to grow restless again. He asked to be enlisted on a different planet, and the process of amazement and exploration began all over again for Dr. Kahan. Every few years he would jump planets, join different colonies looking for a trained doctor. He eventually left Flagship Foundation when they tried to persuade him to move up the ranks, but Yair refused. He loved the life he was living, and he lived it from his late twenties all the way into his fifties, treating every kind of person, having every kind of injury, in every kind of environment. During this time he also dealt with the technology of frontier colonies: aka cheap and often second-hand technology. His tinkering turned into fixing, and often he doubled as both the resident doctor and makeshift mechanic in smaller colonies. It just never got old for him... until, of course, when it did begin to grow a little stale.

In his fifties, Yair wanted a more mobile life. He wanted to stay active as he was aging and the colonial life was often sedentary. So, he enlisted with Terran Central Military Police as a specialist - a medic and technician. He accompanied teams into dangerous situations and helped them get immediate attention to keep them in the fight. TCMP accepted a man with his experience gladly, and he was able to practice his athletic ability along the way. Although he was provided with weaponry, Yair has never killed a man since he enlisted. He has wounded two people - he shot an ecological terrorist in the chest and then kept him alive until he was taken to a hospital, and he shot a drug-crazed woman in the leg to immobilize her. Yair has only killed one person in his life, and he intends to keep it that way. 

Dr. Kahan lived on Regillus VI - not surprising, name a colonial world and he's probably spent at least a year there - and he was concerned, but also intrigued at the thought of an intentional attack. He volunteered for this mission and wouldn't take no for an answer. 

[B]Equipment (out of combat theatre):[/B] Dr. Kahan has no implants; he doesn't believe in them and doesn't trust any doctor or scientist who claims to operate better with them. He carries everything necessary to fix all but the most dire wounds in the field.

He doesn't trust electronic books, claiming them to be too shifty to read.

[B]Specialised Skills:[/B]

 Medical: Dr. Kahan has over 50 years of experience when it comes to treating wounds. 

Technical: Dr. Kahan knows how to fix simple machines, as it was often required on the colonies.

Counseling: Colonial life comes with personal strife. Dr. Kahan is trained to deal with several psychological problems including anxiety and depression.

[B]Other:[/B] 

Because of his age, Dr. Kahan has to undergo far more aptitude testing than the normal soldier. He, as of late, has been barely getting by on the physical tests and feels that he will be forced to retire soon. Because of this, he volunteers for dangerous missions more often.

Despite his age, Dr. Kahan is considered by many to be immature and often disobeys the rules of TCMP. He is quite anti-authority, and always has been.
