Biography: Born on Shintie to a family with a long history of service in the RAS McTavish followed the family tradition of joining the academy at 16, after graduating in the top one percent of his class he enlisted at 18 and had a clean and relatively uneventful career until his deployment on Hanorat. McTavish was tasked with taking a strong point to assist in a defensive maneuver being made in preparation for an imminent offensive by the UKD, an easy secure and hold mission until the UKD pushed earlier and harder than expected, it was only luck and some sound tactics that kept most of his squad alive. Caught unaware and cut off from retreat by an armored division, he requested air support and ordered his men to dig in at a nearby bunker. The air support never showed, while trying to radio command and find out what had happened to the air support he found himself staring at a live M137 HE fragmentation grenade rolling up to his feet. Without thinking he grabbed it and pitched it out of the door to his left, saving himself and everyone in the bunker but losing his left arm and a large portion of his shoulder to the blast that happened almost as soon as he let go of the grenade. A nearby RAS Heavy artillery group was reassigned to clear out the the UKD Armored division and soon had the way to McTavish's squad safe enough for rescue. After McTavish recovered he was awarded a promotion, a commendation for Valor on the field of battle and fitted with a robotic arm. After returning to active duty things more or less went back to normal for a military man. 

Additional information: If asked, McTavish's peers would probably say he's unqualified for the position he's in and only got there by the influence of his family and sympathy.
