Name: Lazarus Germael
Age: 45
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: Lazarus is a fairly average specimen of a healthy middle-aged human male. He keeps relatively physically fit, with an average weight of 80kg, and although he by no means towers over anyone, his 1.95 meter height still gives him a considerably tall look.
His face is rather bony and well-defined, with his chin coming to a narrow end, and his nose a fine point. He keeps himself clean shaven as much as possible, and his greying head of hair neatly cropped and trimmed. His face is framed by a pair of necessary reading spectacles, which are specifically designed with one-way reflective lenses, which Lazarus prefers because they stop patients from distracting him with "incessant blathering and distracting eye contact" in his own words.
His eyes, when rarely seen, are a cold steel in color, bearing little of the spark or twinkle of life and energy. Instead they seem almost calculating in nature, constantly jumping from subject to subject, always observing everything they can.
When it comes to clothing and protective gear, Lazarus prefers that which allows him to pass for a civilian doctor. Wearing a flak-woven longcoat colored in a clean white, with red patches of the Imperial symbol for Medicae on both shoulders and the left breast, he is given both light protection and identification as a practicing chiurgeon. Underneath this coat, he prefers a simple-yet-formal grey tunic and black trousers, with sturdy, fashionable black leather knee boots.
In regards to personal arms, Lazarus keeps it simple, with a basic autopistol and three magazines for it. However, he stocks these magazines with the lethal Manstopper rounds, ballistic ammunition designed to bring down a grown man with a single shot. He keeps the autopistol and magazines in a concealed shoulder holster worn under his longcoat
Personality: Lazarus is best described as stern, asocial, and calculating in nature. He shows the most warmth and personality when discussing the fields of medicae and biologis, but even then he shows a grim, almost grotesque fascination with the subjects.
Despite his distaste for talk outside his subjects of study, Lazarus feels great concern and care for those he treats for injury or illness, stopping at nothing to aid them to the best of his ability. However, should a patient of his pass, his cold demeanour returns, and he won't hesitate to use the fresh corpse for research or spare bodily objects or fluids.
Lazarus pays very little heed to the Imperial Cult, only practicing just enough of the faith for any suspicious gazes to pass him over. He has no inherent fear or ill will towards the Xeno or the Mutant, and finds them both fascinating sources of biological study.
History: Lazarus Germael is the fourth of seven sons born to Sigmund Germael, the patriarch of a minor nobility household on Scintilla. The Germaels had always operated on the rule that the first son was to be heir, the second to join the Administratum, the third to join the Guard, and the fourth to join the Navy. Thus, Lazarus's career was defined for him at birth. While being groomed and schooled for the Imperial Naval Officer's Academy, Lazarus quickly found his fascination with medical and anatomical sciences, and his distaste for people. He excelled in scientific classes, but struggled with much of the pomp and circumstance due to one of his class and destined service.
Lazarus would enter the Academy at the age of 16, enrolling in their medicae program, and graduating with full honors and a commission as an Ensign medicae officer aboard the Saint's Chosen, a small frigate serving across the Calixis sector. It was here Lazarus would find the one person he could stand to deal with, a kindred spirit in the Biologis Tech-Priest Obel Gaven.
Working alongside Obel, Lazarus would serve dutifully and honorably for many years, rising through the ranks and chain of command in the medicae department, before eventually securing the position of Chief Chiurgeon and the rank of First Lieutenant.
Despite his cherished years of service, Lazarus had never been content with simply healing the ill, and had sought to put his knowledge to more theoretical purposes. Together with Obel they secretly conducted research and development of disturbing biological enhancements to both servants of the vessel and captured prisoners alike.
This series of heretical actions against both the Emperor and the Omnissiah would not go unnoticed, and Lazarus would find himself placed in the brig at gunpoint, with Obel nowhere to be found.
While imprisoned and awaiting proper religious trial for his actions, Lazarus was contacted one night by Obel, who had managed to elude capture. Obel and Lazarus were able to get past the night watch and secure a vessel, escaping to the planet the ship was orbiting.
Once on the planet, Lazarus and Obel went their separate ways, with Lazarus stripping himself of his uniform in favor of more civilian clothing, and securing passage aboard another ship headed off-world in exchange for his medical expertise.
Since then, Lazarus has traveled the sector as an illicit doctor, paying his way to new frontiers with his skills, while also adding to his biological and anatomical know-how.
Skills: Lazarus is a brilliant practicioner of medicae and a studious biologis researcher, though since his discharge from the Imperial Navy he has operated without the official Administratum writs and licenses necessary, and thus keeps his business away from the mass public eye, instead operating as a cheaper alternative for stingy miser Lords and the wealthy criminal elite.
From his time as chief chiurgeon aboard the Saint's Chosen, Lazarus is an expert at directing the medical concerns and operations of an Imperial vessel, though his realm of experience is primarily based around a frigate of the same or similar size to his old vessel.
Although by no means an expert shot or a professional soldier, Lazarus has survived the occasional firefight with his autopistol, and what he lacks in direct firepower he makes up for with the danger of his preferred Manstopper ammunition and his knowledge of human anatomy.
Equipment: Alongside the aforementioned autopistol and flak coat, Lazarus keeps on hand a diagnosticator for identifying medical issues, a medi-kit for field operations, and a suture set for quickly closing wounds. He also wears a micro-comm in one ear for quick communication.
