Kolova

Name: Vad Kolova Homeworld: Taif Species: Human Career: Medic Affiliation: Taif Republic

Kolova is one of the Taif Republic's leaders. He holds the rank of Lieutenant but he is not much of a combat specialist. He was trained by one of the Empiricist 's original medical officers, and he is the most talented doctor in the Republic's forces. He also doubles as a biological scientist and is in charge of ensuring the water supply remains untainted.

Although he is vital to the organisation Kolova is not especially popular. He has learned to distil a potent alcoholic beverage that he calls 'rust juice' from microscopic algage found in the water supply, and has become dependent on it in order to do his job properly. He is also prone to asking awkward questions and mocking other's beliefs, something that frequently gets him thrown into the Republic's impromptu brig for a few days for 'harming morale'.
