Still working on an unmasked appearance.  Preferably something with an impressive mustache.

[b]Personality:[/b] Captain Linhart is a patriot, devoted to Tinnec and proud of his service, despite what it has cost him.  He is a dutiful soldier, always carrying out his orders to the best of his ability and always expecting nothing less from those under his command.  Despite his stern demeanor, he is not incapable of camaraderie, and understands its importance to unit cohesion.

Because of his experience fighting against the forces of Yaln, Gernot despises the fallen empire, having not only been maimed fighting them, but seen many fine soldiers perish in the struggle to end Lord Yeln's tyranny.  He believes firmly that the remnants of the empire must be crushed into dust, lest they someday gain another opportunity to cast their dark shadow over the world.

[b]Skills:[/b] Captain Linhart is a veteran dragoon officer, experienced in fighting both on foot and on horseback, skilled in the use of both firearms and swords, and educated in battlefield tactics.  Following his 

[b]Abilities:[/b] As a magitech cyborg, Captain Linhart is [s]better, stronger, and faster[/s] has above-human endurance and resilience than a normal human.  His tireless clockwork heart can withstand stresses far beyond that of his former one, and his augmented spine allows his nervous system to interface directly with his powered armor.  Additionally, this interface provides redundancy- his armor's energy stores can power his heart should his own stores become damaged or depleted, and his heart's mana battery can, at great peril to himself, fuel his armor's boiler should things become dire enough to warrant it.

[b]Equipment:[/b] Captain Linhart is equipped with a suit of magitek-fueled steam-powered armor, enhancing his strength and providing unparalleled physical protection with the unfortunate side effect of producing considerable smoke when powered up, mandating an air filter in his helmet.  He carries two weapons- a break-action shotgun pistol and his old heavy cavalry sword from when he was a Dragoon officer.

[b]Brief History:[/b] Like many cavalry officers, Gernot was born to a fairly well-off family, educated in a private boarding school, and attended a military academy, before being commissioned as a Dragoon lieutenant.  During the war with Yeln, Gernot fought heroically and was decorated for his bravery more than once, but was badly wounded in a major battle, where his unit took heavy losses.  Healers and physicians were able to stabilize him, but his wounds- most damningly a broken spine resulting in partial paralysis and damaged heart that struggled to function- could not be mended, and it appeared that his military career was over.  Gernot would not have it, and petitioned his superiors to find a way- any way, no matter the risk, for him to be a soldier again.

To his fortune, the minds of Tinnec found a way- in an experimental procedure, they replaced his injured heart with a clockwork prosthetic, mended and his spine with automaton tech, and installed a rechargable mana battery to power these devices.  The procedure was a success- while there initially were a few problems with his new parts that had to be fixed, Gernot ultimately regained full control of his body, and his new heart proved capable of handling anything he could subject it to.

The lieutenant missed the last chapter of the war with Yeln while he was recovering and being tested, but the military was not done with him.  Between his deeds and his enhancements, he was deemed a suitable candidate to carry out more special assignments than serving as a Dragoon officer.  Once it was determined that the flaws in his prosthetics had been ironed out, Gernot was given a suit of steam-powered armor modified to take advantage of his upgrades, received further training to perform his new role, and was promoted to Captain.  Shortly after, Captain Linhart was given his first orders in his new role...
