Peacekeepers of the Vast/Max Rezal

Max Rezal, callsign Quadrant, is a member of the Peacekeepers, tasked to the Horkos. Aged 31 Earth years at the outset of the story, he has been involved in the Interstellar League Military his whole adult life, most recently a four-year tour representing the Solaran Union with ISLES special forces.

Publicly Known Information

Max is reserved but genial, usually preferring to solve problems with the judicious application of being Big and Scary and letting someone else do the talking. It's not that he's bad at stuff, it's just that he's better at other things. He's a soldier through and through, and likes riding his swoop bike to clear his mind. He's also been known to use it as a light cavalry option during planetside engagements, and as a quick and efficient vehicle for Special Operations.

If you catch a look at the inside of his locker, there's a picture of what appears to be a wholesome midwestern farm girl in a winter coat stuck on the back.

Relationships with Team Members

Quadrant and Picasso were in a barfight together on an ice world, and were -- of course -- the last two men standing.

More recently, Max and Tiny were both arrested in the course of a covert operation; they spent a lot of time trying to convince the police that their badges and papers were legitimate, before being released with a quiet apology.

Meta Knowledge

Max is from Siada. He got away from the place and has never looked back, joining the military academy and then signing up for a tour with the Solaran Union fleet on the far side of the galaxy. During his time at the academy, the suspicion attached to a Siada resident being in the military academy drew the attention of the Solaran Union Military attachés at the ISL Military Academy, whose scrutiny led to a positive outcome in that his skills and dedication were recognized. Presumably, his continued movement through the military, into the Special Operations units of the Solaran Union ISLES detachment, are due to some level of continued support from the Solaran Union Military.
