Appearance:

-Personality:   Kroll has an unyielding respect for authority, obeying the commands of superiors to the best that his body will allow him. He also has next to no tolerance for disloyalty or insubordination, and is known for making examples out of those who display such qualities. Outside of doing missions or training scenarios, Kroll is rarely seen outside of or leaving his office, and it is rumored amongst the other Guards that he never leaves Headquarters, and actually lives and sleeps in his office. That is if he even sleeps at all. Aside from work related topics, Kroll keeps to himself for the most part, and maintains a relatively placid demeanor, his temper only getting the best of him on rare occasions.

-History: Kroll spent his childhood in a Aquillian labor camp, located in one of the many obsidian pits that dotted the Hephaestian Range. Whether or not he was the offspring of an inmate, or an unwanted child born out of wedlock is unknown. Nonetheless, the overseers of the labor camp took advantage of his size as a fledgling, using him to crawl into the tight and narrow spaces of ore smelting kilns to repair them, as well as do maintenance of more intricate machinery. As such, he was given his Job Identification Serial: Kiln Repairer 011, or KR: 011 for short. Due to a document typo, this was often misread as “Kroll”, which was what he would end up taking on as his name, believing it to be so.  Throughout his time in the camps, Kroll was subjected to horrendous working conditions and narrowly evaded death in a tunnel collapse, having to use the upper half of a fellow inmate’s skull to dig his way back out. Once he became an adult, Kroll joined the Griffon Army as soon as he possibly could to push his previous life far behind him and out of his memory, feeling that he had escaped from Tartarus itself. 

He initially served as an interrogator in the army, using egregiously violent and creative methods to extract even the most menial pieces of information from captives placed under his custody. After a particularly brutal session, however, Kroll’s superiors decided that he needed some fresh air, re-assigning him a position in a light-infantry battalion a few years before the invasion of Equestria took place. Kroll found his new job as a soldier liberating, as he was now allowed to kill targets instead of leaving them close to death as he did as an interrogator. As the war dragged on, he later transferred to a dragoon detachment of a special activities division, where he steadily gained a reputation for being consistent and effective in his performance during assignments. During this time Kroll also developed a talent for repairing and even fabricating weapons, due to the heavy use, (and consequent breaking) of his own.

After the war and subsequent occupation, of Equestria, Kroll was re-assigned to training the Guerillas’ newest admissions. When he received word that two recruits under his watch sexually assaulted a laborer, Kroll got the whole platoon out of their bunks to witness the proceedings, forcing them to stand close enough so see the looks on the faces of the tercels as he delivered two jagged slashes to each of their throats. After that, the troops excelled in discipline. Nonetheless, Kroll was transferred to a posting in Manehattan shortly thereafter this incident. During his time at his new post, however, Kroll discovered that his station chief was selling important information to suspected members of the rebels. Kroll took the initiative, and the chief was found hanging from the flagpole the following day. The death was declared suicide, and Kroll was politely asked to leave, not being permitted to be within forty feet of Griffon Headquarters. For the last few years, Kroll has wound up living on the streets, taking odd jobs as they came his way. It was a miserable existence, but he was able to survive, even if it was by the skin of his beak.

After a while, Kroll began to pursue an alternate means of being hired into the Manehattan Guard, and after a nefarious scheme resulted in the ousting of the prior Captain, he was reinstated as the new Captain of the Guard due to circumstances that have been omitted from the record due to actions on behalf of the OGI.
