A legend among red-shirts. Lightning bolts leave a smoking black mark next to him where his flank stood a second ago. Aliens transform people around him into chemical dodecahedrons and don't quite get around to him yet. His buddy gets all the red blood cells sucked out of him by a space cloud, he lives to tell about it. It's kind of scary, like those people who have been struck by lightning multiple times. His reputation precedes him. People are sometimes awed, sometimes don't want to stand too close to him, but no one doubts that he's one tough customer.
