Background:
Hartzer is a former Starfleet RRT Lieutenant who was twice decorated (and reprimanded) for reckless valor during various police actions. He had a service-wide reputation as a skilled tactician.

While serving in the garrison on Solis II, Hartzer was arrested for the murder of a fellow officer following a training exercise in which Hartzer's unit was badly beaten. Subsequent examination classified him as "deeply disturbed and psychotic." He escaped while being transported to confinement at a Federation Treatment Center.

Description and Personality:
Hartzer is a relatively short 1.65m tall and he weighs only 65kg. His blonde hair is cropped short and one of his icy blue eyes is occasionally obscured by the monocle he wears as an affectation.

Hartzer wants to regain his status as a military leader. While service in Star Fleet is now an impossibility, he dreams of a new career as a mercenary beyond the Federation frontier. He joined Kane's crew in the hope of earning enough prize money to form a mercenary command. So far, at least, those hopes have not been realized.

Hartzer is vain and arrogant. He is convinced that he is the ranking member of Kane's boarders, an assessment that his companions do not share. He is vicious in combat and cruel in victory. Any characters who fall into his hands will suffer enormous physical pain for their insolent resistance.
