Nature

What is your personality like?

Though loyal to a fault, Vern is often described as being wound too tight, a result of him being born on an Orbital with an incredibly violent war between the Arbites and the gangs as well as the gun-runners and black market dealers the station is known for. Vern grew up quick on Gamma Niner Tango, and developed a knack for reading people, and the subtle movements they make. More than once this skill stopped Vern from being caught in the crossfire as a child. Vern is generally quite level headed, needed to avoid a firefight during street side interviews, though jokes about his size, small even for a Void born, will rile him quickly. He is known to smoke whenever he feels the least bit anxious.

How did you meet the Inquisitor?

Vern has gathered a reputation for being a dedicated Arbite, investigator and an excellent interrogator, though his superiors have concerns about his survivability if promoted to a more active position(He's nearly died 3 times). He was given the Star of Gamma, the highest honour for a citizen of Orbital Gamma Niner Tango, for breaking the back of a gun running operation, by quite literally breaking a suspect's spine during interrogation. However his dogged determination to finish any job, not matter the personal cost, and the tendency for him to actually follow through with this has brought him to attention of numerous people in the Imperium.

What does the Inquisition mean to you?

A means to prove himself. Vern is deeply hurt by his superiors keeping him down in the ranks for fear that he will die if he takes a more active (read violent) role in policing.

What will you sacrifice?

Vern will give all he has to give. He has no thought for his personal safety if there is work that needs doing.

What do you desire?

A Challenge. Vern has been doing the same sorts of cases for a couple of years now, and is bored. He wants something to really challenge his skills, and push him to the limits.

What do you hate?

Vern hates people who think they can ruin other people's lives, and not suffer the consequences of their actions. This hatred has been growing recently as the violence of Orbital GNT's gang war has increased dramatically.
