Kuben Blisk

Intro Born on Earth in the Core Systems, Blisk began his career as a fighter at a young age in the Thunderdome games in the Outlands, a fringe region in the Frontier. When the Titan Wars began, Blisk enlisted in the IMC’s army and quickly climbed the ranks to commander. However, the politics and corruption of war pushed the Blisk into the life of a mercenary, where he could control his own fight and answer to no one but himself. As a mercenary, he provides Combat Intel and Counterinsurgency services; his first contract with the IMC concluded with his outfit making enough money to retire to a tropical paradise. Five years after the Battle of Demeter, Blisk entered his newly-staffed mercenary group - the Apex Predators - into a contract with General Marder and the ARES Division, a research wing of the IMC. Blisk and the Predators deployed to the planet Typhon, where they were to oversee security operations and take charge of the IMC garrisons on the otherwise remote and uninhabited planet. Their ultimate objective was to protect the Fold Weapon, a newly discovered ancient superweapon on the planet, as well as its power source, the Ark. After Slone's death, Blisk stood atop BT's cockpit on foot to confront the Militia Pilot one last time. Instead of finishing him off, he congratulated Cooper on his victory. Whether out of respect for the Pilot or sticking to the letter of his contract, he explained that since his contract was completed, he had no reason to kill Cooper, since he does not kill for free. Instead, he left Cooper an Apex Predator calling card, saying that he earned it, offering him a standing invitation to the Apex Predators in case Cooper ever decided to "fight for himself" rather than the Militia. General Marder hotly protested and ordered Blisk to kill Cooper; Blisk refused, as he claimed it was not in their contract and that he had "other people with money to see".
