Shortly after his fifteenth birthday his father was transferred to Persephone, which is considered an earth-like world, where Kol spent his youth, until his twenty-third birthday, studying, which included a bachelor's degree at one of the planetary colleges on an athletics Scholarship.<br/><br/>Shortly after his twenty-third birthday, a pirate fleet ambushed his Father's much smaller fleet near the Planet of Redrim, a volcanic hellhole that was only important due to its immense stockpiles of rare metals. The battle was short and bitter, leaving Kol without his father, and a large amount of pent-up anger. However, instead of venting it directionlessly, he chose to join the Trade Order's 'Militia' Fleet, as a marine, one of the large, armoured brutes that charged into battle with a Gyrojet rifle, a foot-long knife, and what most people joked was a deathwish.<br/><br/>Kol, however, despite many close calls, was promoted as a natural leader, and, eventually, was transferred to Naval Operations, and given command of a Retrofitted Kodiak Cruiser, which was basically a heavily-armoured asteroid tug, that some brave, or insane soul had mounted several heavy autocannons upon, as a way to reduce the impact of Pirate incursions.<br/><br/>Fifteen years ago, he passed through Redrim on a routine military patrol, and was ambushed by the same pirate fleet that had killed his father. This time, however, Kol survived, and, somehow, his outnumbered fleet of a half-dozen cruisers, forced to defend several Orbital refineries, managed to utterly decimate the pirate fleet, forcing the tattered remnants to retreat.<br/><br/>Kol has fought at the fore of nearly every major battle within TEC space for the last decade, and has accrued dozens of wounds and nearly as many medals in his missions, many of which were against nearly-impossible odds. In fact, some rumours have been circulating that some members of High Command are trying to get him killed off, simply because the only difference between a war hero and a martyr is how alive the person is.
