PilotName: Henry Makokis
Appearance: Henry is an interesting sort. Niether tall and muscular, nor short and stocky. He is a decent 6 feet tall, with a whip like build, quick both physically and mentally. His skin is a leathery red of a person who is used to spending long hours out in the strong sun. Once upon a time his hair was a dark and long black, but now it's a salt and pepper black and grey. What doesn't look like he's been weathered, is his piercing dark eyes. Eyes that seem to stare into a person's soul. A First Nations man of Canada of distinguished appearance. His hair is always cut back into what is called "The Warrior's Braid" a long hefty braid of hair that travels down his back almost to his waist.
Personality: Henry is a approachable man. Kind, thoughtful, welcoming. He will be just as likely to crack a obscure joke as he is to start intoning some strange old take of the Cree Peoples. He's an intelligent man, holding Doctorates in Biosciences, Mathematics and Astrophysics. Making him quite educated and erudite. But he'd sooner debate the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames then whether or no Betelguese is about to go super nova.
Backstory: The Great Union of First Nations Communities, a political and social conglomeration of all the American Indian and Canadian First Nations reserves and communities across the North American Continent. A united group for all First Nations people to live peacefully and in prosperity, as well as to have all the comforts and legal means that anyone ele may have. This came about after a long hard fight in political and social arena's around the north american continent and around the world even. Culminating in a massive showing and address with the UN several decades ago.
It was a long and hard fought battle. But soon all the myraid number of reserves were recognized as a nation onto themselves. And this Crees and Creeks. Mohawk and Pawnee. Cherokee and Blackfoot. All alike were given the rights and all things they needed to join the rest of the peoples of the world in prosperity.
To make sure they could keep this way, as time went on, the GUFNC employed their own defense forces. Helix Frames and small militia groups who patrolled their lands to keep it safe from people who would come in and misuse it. This is where Henry came in. From a young age, he always felt he's something more. Something a little more useful to the Union. A defender. What would be called a Brave among some of the nations. This is what Henry endeavoured to be for the GUFNC. It took a long time, what with his education he wanted to get. He was a slightly older 42 by the time he got his first HELIX Frame. But then when he did get it he declared he'd act as the defender of the rights of all the GUFNC no matter what happened.
He spent many years defending the lands of the Saddle Lake, Kehewin and Smokey Lake communities before he was tasked with joining the Snowbirds, a representative from the GUFNC was needed and he was chosen by the Council of Elders and Matriarch. He packed up his belongings, and shipped his HELIX up to the location, arrive just a few mere hours behind it. He boarded up his HELIX and made his way to the Snowbird Base. Instead of defending the lands of his people. He's defending the vast north int he name of everyone.
Misc Info:*An adherent to the old customs, and spiritual beliefs of the First Nations peoples, he carries a coup stick with him everywhere he goes just in case.
*One of the first things he did when he arrived on base was to plant a War Post on the grounds of the base and bury the blade of a hatchet into it. Honoring his Mohawk cousin's ways in that moment. And he also offered a braid of sweet grass and a packet of tobacco to a local GUFNC community elder for their blessing.
*Despite getting on in years, he's still quite spry.
