History: Mahkam was born in Tashkent, Soviet Union, to a retired military father and a teacher mother. Now, growing up, Mahkam would face pressure from his father to join the military once he was old enough. As his father wanted him to share in the great life of being in the military. Or at least what his father thought was a great life and Mahkam, despite having other thoughts about it. Mainly having other interests, would follow his father's wish. To a point, as when he was old enough to join the military. He chose to enlist with the Air Force and not the Army as his father wanted. It was a show of defiance since Mahkam wanted some choice in his life while making his father very annoyed in the process.

In the Soviet Air Force, Mahkam, after succeeding in his training and becoming a pilot. He proved to be a good pilot, and while he would not see action for the most part, bearing some engagements. He did well for himself, and due to his skill, he managed to get selected to test fly some prototypes that some would later see the light of day.

Now, after spending years in the Air Force and despite doing well. Mahkam wanted a change despite being a good pilot. He wanted more out of life and actually make his own choices about his life for once. So Mahkam left the military and moved to Jizzakh. The hometown of his mother and after thinking about what he wanted to really do in life. He elected to go to a nearby university and learn how to be an aircraft engineer. Since he already knew about planes and he was more interested in the mechanical side of things. But before that he went to study and get a degree to help with this.

After graduating and getting a degree and later a job, Mahkam would meet and later marry his wife, and the couple would have two children together, a son and a daughter. However, this happy life would go south thanks to the Heavanfall. Most of Mahkam's family was killed, including his wife and son. Along with his right arm being crushed by debris and having to be replaced by a prosthetic. Given the state of the region and how unstable it was, Mahkam gathered what remained of his family, he managed to get them out of the region and settled in Georgia.

Now out of work and needing a new job. It was difficult for him to find one, and when he did, find one. It was a low-paying one, but since he could not find other jobs. He stayed with this one until one day when a friend recommended he perhaps join a PMC, given his skills. Mahkam thought about it and while he did not like the idea of being a mercenary. Once he learned of the New United Nations PMC program. He figured he could try with mercs that were at least not as heartless as some of the PMCs out there in the world.

So Mahkam would apply as an airplane mechanic to the Shattered Steel PMC, but once they learned of his previous pilot record. They offered better pay as one of their pilots and after some thought. Mahkam would agree, and he would be sent to the 5th tactical squadron, the Cobalt Shadows, as a replacement for their lost pilots. While Mahkam is still unsure of his new career. He just hopes it will be one he will be content with and not be a mistake.
