Editing Silver Cataphracts Characters (section)

===Kharikov, Chapter Master===
-----
''"Has it been so long that people forget what an even hand feels like?"''


The Kuzgeta Sector is rife with problems. Heretic cults arise every month on the many horrid planets. Rosskar itself in a state of semi-civil war between the few holdouts of the Imperial Truth, the maddened crows of zealous Imperial Faithests, and the mutated hordes that arise from the Heresy Zones. At the center of this mayhem is Kharikov, the two thousand year old Chapter Master of the Silver Cataphracts. 


Despite his age, Kharikov still appears lively and spirited. This is believed to be due to a beneficial gene-seed mutation, which perhaps has given him some form of extreme longevity. However, Kharikov produces no gene-seed himself, and thus it can never be passed down the ranks. As he is a later generation Cataphract, he bears all the same loss of organs as many of the successors to the fateful Legion do. 


Kharikov studied those who came before him, choosing to find a balance between Sergei's at times benevolent style, and Alexandri's soul crushingly brutal doctrine. He acts fair but just in all his dealings. As Chapter Master of the Cataphracts, he is solely responsible for nearly the entirety of the Kuzgeta Sector as many of his predecessors were before him. He is the one who maintains the area, checking on the various Planetary Governors and Lords. He deals with the Mechanicus, ensuring a steady balance is maintained between them and the Imperial Guard units. While his Chapter's level of micro-management in sector politics is worrisome, it has kept the section of space as a beacon of stability in an otherwise turbulent storm of Heresy, Aliens, and Chaos.
