Kern

Kern is a terran reaper that served under rogue military agent Nero. Possessing a sense of morality, he disliked his superior's callous methods and often sought non-leathal solutions. This led to tension between the two of them, coming to a head in a job in which Nero's squad was to steal some Mark VII hub drives and sell them to the Kimeran Pirates. To Kern's horror, Nero killed the marines guarding the facility, making his objections known. In response, Nero shot him. This was a mistake on his part however, in not only did Kern survive, but the rest of the squad turned on their leader, sending him to prison.
