Physical Description		Commander Kytolos Sh’reyva stands tall and broad-shouldered, his frame built for endurance and command. His skin carries the cold sheen of Andorian steel, a blue so deep it seems carved from the ice of his homeworld. A jagged scar runs from his left jaw to the hollow of his collarbone–a burn from plasma fire at the Battle of Cherath Outpost. His right antenna bears a clean cauterization ridge halfway down, regrown but permanently stiff, twitching less often than its twin though never failing to orient toward danger. He moves with the patience of a glacier–slow, deliberate, unstoppable once set in motion. Every gesture is precise, every step purposeful. His voice is clipped and military, his tone even and cold, yet capable of sudden, startling intensity when challenged or stirred to conviction. Silence serves him better than volume; he commands with presence more than words.

Personality & Traits

General Overview		Kytolos is the embodiment of the Imperial Guard ideal: a soldier first, a diplomat only when duty demands it. He is disciplined, demanding, and unflinching. Compassion, to him, is not weakness, but it is not a tool to be used lightly. His respect must be earned, and once given, it is unwavering. He distrusts Vulcans entirely–sees their logic as a mask for manipulation, their diplomacy as control. His hatred of Romulans burns deeper still, sharpened by the destruction of his ship and crew only a month before his posting to Unicorn. Humans, to his surprise, he finds tolerable–naïve at times, but courageous in ways that remind him of younger Andorians. Kytolos is not here to make friends. He is here to ensure the Andorian Imperial Guard’s interests are not forgotten in a war fought far from Andorian space.
Strengths & Weaknesses		+Battle-tested leader: Experienced in space combat and ground operations, with a talent for reading battle conditions intuitively. +Tactical Discipline: Maintains composure under fire; adheres to doctrine but adapts when necessary. +Command Presence: Commands through quiet authority; loyalty among subordinates is absolute. +Unshakable Loyalty: His devotion to Andoria and to the Guard is total. -Prejudice Toward Vulcans: His mistrust borders on paranoia and can strain mixed-unit cooperation. -Emotional Isolation: Keeps others at a distance; refuses to show grief or vulnerability. -Rigid Sense of Duty: Struggles to navigate moral grey areas or political compromise. -Unresolved Trauma: The loss of his ship haunts him, manifesting as insomnia and simmering anger beneath control.
Ambitions		Kytolos’s ambitions are tied to Andoria’s honor and survival. He cares little for personal glory. His assignment aboard the Unicorn—a Human-led, joint Starfleet/MACO operation—feels like punishment to him, a bureaucratic exile from the front. Yet he recognizes its strategic importance. If the Coalition is to win this war, Andoria must have a voice among its allies. He intends to be that voice—unbending, clear, and cold as the homeworld that shaped him.
Hobbies & Interests		Miniatures: Constructs detailed mock-ups of historical battles, starships, and campaigns at his home on Andoria. Tactical Simulations: Studies fleet actions obsessively, including those that ended in failure, to understand every variable of defeat. Classical Music: Keeps recordings of Andorian percussion symphonies and Human cello compositions, though he never admits to enjoying the latter.

Personal History		Born to Keth Sh’reyva in the frozen northern marches of Andoria, Kytolos was raised in the long shadow of the Imperial Guard. His clan produced warriors and commanders for generations, and from early youth, he was taught that survival and service were the same thing. He entered the Guard Academy at eighteen, excelling in tactics, field endurance, and polar combat operations. His career carried him through the Guard’s border patrols, where he grew to despise the Vulcan High Command’s condescension and interference in Andorian defense policy. By 2151, he commanded his own frigate, the IGS Vorchal, patrolling the Romulan frontier. In April of 2156, the Vorchal was caught in a Romulan ambush while escorting a transport convoy. Kytolos ordered a counterattack that destroyed two enemy vessels but left his ship crippled. He refused evacuation until the last of his crew had escaped. Twenty-three Andorians survived. The Vorchal did not. The Imperial Guard Board of Inquiry found no fault in his actions, yet his command prospects dimmed. A month later, he was reassigned as Andoria’s official liaison aboard the Unicorn—a symbolic gesture meant to display unity between the Guard, Starfleet, the Argosy, and MACO forces. To Kytolos, it feels more like exile than honor. Still, he serves. The Guard does not retreat, even from politics.
