Background

Karl Jaeger: Engineer, former All-Navy middleweight boxing contender, seminary dropout. Born in a backwoods district of Gemenon to a priest of Zeus and expected to follow his father's footsteps into the priesthood, Karl began his theological schooling at a relatively young age. Alas, young Karl found this not to his liking. After getting into a fair bit of trouble due to a series of fights, he dropped out of school and enlisted in the Navy (2023; age 19). Although this course of action caused the elder Jaeger to disown his son, Karl found Navy life more to his liking. His superiors were able to channel Karl's aggressiveness and penchant for a good brawl into a passable boxing sideline. By the time of his discharge (2029; age 25) he had made two respectable bids for the All-Navy middleweight title, the second time losing the championship after a closely-fought nine-round decision.

Chosing not to re-up again (he'd already extended his enlistment by two years to make another attempt at the boxing title), Karl returned to school. Having been exposed to the wonders of advanced technology by the Navy, he vigorously pursued degrees in engineering, ending up with a BS in Mechanical Engineering (2032; age 28) and a MS in Electrical Engineering (2034; age 30). Upon finishing graduate school, Karl was recruited by an engineering firm noted for working closely with the Colonial government. Although it would be some months before Karl's uprated security clearance would be approved, once that came through he joined the team working on the final design details for BS-132. Closely involved throughout the construction process, he was by chance on board to oversee some adjustments and minor modifications to her EW systems on Warday.

Although still carried on the rolls as a civilian, Karl has worked closely with the military crew to maintain and repair ship's systems, focusing primarily on Electronic Warfare, as that was both his technical specialty in service and his area of involvement in the design/construction phase.

Physical Features

Karl Jaeger is not a pretty man. His face is battered and scarred. His nose has been broken at least twice, a bald spot through the middle of one eyebrow marks one old injury and one side of his mouth is pulled up slightly in a permanent sneer as evidence of another. No doubt there are others less immediately visible, also. His hands, also, are battered: twisted, gnarled, and quite likely arthritic.

Although he stands at 5'8", arms of slightly disproportionate length and a vaguely bowlegged stance give him a simian appearance that, when coupled with the bruiser's face, quite belies the keen intellect hiding within the brutish appearance.

Pale green eyes, a shaved dome (to conceal the rapidly retreating hairline), and a thoroughly unremarkable mousy-brown goatee complete the image of the man.

He tends to dress in conservative, dark-colored suits reminiscent of military uniforms, but he wears comfortable shoes that do not require shining.
