Cutler Kar

"What is the reason for living if you serve outdated dogma, while the galaxy presents a wealth of opportunities? Do you think that a rotting corpse cares for your miserable existence as you die in his "revered" name? I see there is no God-Emperor, but merely the oppression of the power of human will, and thus I am among those who are enlightened, for I shall give back the power to humanity, as it deserves."

- Cutler Kar

Cutler Kar is a founding member of the Vitores Tenebras and a former Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos. Head of the Corpus branch of the Tenebras, Kar specialises in research of Xenotechnology and weaponry, as well as supply other branches with equipment. In order to obtain Xenos technology Kar has set up trade links with Xenos races and factions, using bribery, blackmail and persuasion to get what he wants. Kar also conducts experiments on human and xenos subjects, often splicing the two together. Although he claims to be "improving the human race" though his research, his closest subordinates say he conducts the experiments for little more than sick curiosity.

Kar appears to be merely an arrogant charmer, but behind his foppish demeanour, lurks a sadistic radical who would want nothing more than to further his own ends and gruesome research, and to see the destruction of the Impirium.

Early Life
Born the son of a noble man, Cutler Kar had a spoilt childhood, with his every whim being given to him. Kar soon grew up to become a handsome young man, despite spending his days glutting on fine wines and cavorting with a long line of women. This carefree existence was shattered when Kar, in a fit of rage, unleashed a psychic blast at one of his suitors, killing her instantly.

Fearing repercussions from the law, Kar fled into the underbelly of his city, scraping by a meagre existence as a thief. He had spent barely a year before the arrival of an Imperial Black Ship arrived, demanding its tithe. The planetary governor had the Arbites round up all the pyskers before hand, and eventually the Arbites found Kar. Kar was taken aboard the Blackship against his will.

Personality
Kar usually feigns a devil-may-care attitude, and comes across as not only arrogant and reckless, but compassionate as well. To those that he meets Kar is both desirable and reprehensible-a man steeped in charm and flattery, but also smug and debaucherous.

This is all however merely a front to his true nature, which is cold and sadistic. His morbid curiosity in Xenos has lead him to become highly amoral, giving him a warped sense of right and wrong. He is dismissive of Imperial dogma, saying that faith in the Emperor is akin to madness, and that one can only have faith in humanity. Kar is determined to carry out a "vital task for humanity's interests, no matter the cost".

Appearance
Kar is an average sized man of a height of 1.74 metres. His physique is almost lanky, if it were not for his broad shoulders and a semi-toned torso. Kars skin is a deathly pale, and has a large, prominent chin. He also has an aquiline nose and thin lips. Kars narrow eyes are a vibrant green. His light brown hair is cropped short, and wears a short bread. A network of scars blemishes the left side of his face.

Equipment

 * Carapace armour (with modifications)-Kar wears a suit of what was once carapace armour, but has been modified with Xenos technology. The technology is probably primarily from the Tau empire, but there is a clear signs of Rak'Gol, Thyrrus and Zoragon technology integrated into the armour. This means the armour is substantially better than it originally was, and even provides a force field. However it needs constant repair and maintenance to keep it running properly.
