Wilhelm Talabec

Swordsman, diplomat, and linguist.

Plucked from his homeworld at a young age for his aptitude for languages, and trained as a translator and diplomat in the service of Rogue Trader, Bertram Huss. He has spent his whole life combating Drukari realspace incursions and has come to hate them to a degree where the goal justifies the means and he will take any steps to whittle down their numbers.

Always composed, well spoken, and schooled in the old, imperial truth, rather than the imperial creed, which leads him to pitty and takes a distance to those who revere The Emperor as a god, rather than a remarkable man.

The character suffers a –20 penalty on the Weapon Skill test for this attack.
