Physical Description:
Though getting on with age he is remarkably fit, he's strong but nowhere near what he was in his early years. Has a Special Forces tattoo on his right arm along with several on his back.

Professional History:
Started out as just an ordinary soldier in the military, he gained rank quickly becoming a sergeant; an officer saw the incredible potential within Slater after a disastrous mission where he was left in charge of an injured squad. Miles behind enemy lines he rallied his men and along with those wounded they travelled the distance back into friendly territory.

He was given a commission to captain and awarded the Silver Star for his actions in saving the lives of his men; it would not be the medal he would receive. Eight in all, including the Medal of Valour and Heroism, several ribbons for combat. He moved up the ranks earning respect both up and down the chain of command. He ended up a Lt. General, his military career ended when he disobeyed a direct order. His decision cost the lives of twelve men.

He was sent to the Balkon Military Prison

Background:
Slater was born in a military family, his father was a high ranked Admiral in the Empire, his grandfather the same before him, his Uncle was a Captain in the Navy and stayed a captain, never accepting promotion that would take him from that chair, dying in combat. He fired his first gun at twelve and never really looked back; he'd read dozens of books on combat and wars. He joined at the age of 16 and was sent to basic training. It was hard being the son of a well known General having to live up to the family name but he excelled despite the pressures.

Finishing top of his class he joined his first squad, the 'Nirik Claws'. From that moment on his life was set, he did as he was ordered with no questions asked, a perfect soldier. His first promotion to corporal was during his first engagement. The corporal, a man called Owens, was killed right before him.

But he didn't truly come out into the open until he was promoted to sergeant. On a dangerous mission behind enemy lines his unit was sent to destroy a lookout station. The mission was a success but the officer in command was killed along with two other soldiers and two were injured in the ensuing fire fight. Slater was left in command; he led his unit out of enemy territory and into safety. Twelve days they spent in the jungles with enemy patrols all around. Slater was given an officer's commission and the Silver Star for his service. He aced the officer's training, earning a rank of Captain.

He saw several campaigns, earning medals, ribbons and commendations for his actions under fire. His cool head under extreme conditions saved the lives of hundreds of men under his command and earned him respect throughout the military. He thought he would retire with honours, but the gods had other ideas. He went against orders entering into a War Lord's territory. It was supposed to be a simple operation but going against the word of the undercover operative and local advisors Slater went in anyway. Twelve men were captured and subsequently executed. Lt General Slater was arrested and imprisoned.

He's now serving his sentence in the military prison.
