Background

Vasker grew up in a western village, the second youngest of five kids. His father was a respected businessman, and his mother a quiet artist and homemaker.

At 17, he rode east to the great city to join the military academy. With a letter of recommendation from his elder brother, Captain Bruni Raiden, his entrance was virtually assured and he excelled for his required four years of duty.

Vasker was assigned guard duty at the Temple of the Spider, that venerable and mysterious institution of virgin female soothsayers responsible for advising the Emperor on matters of Fate and Destiny. Years passed, and Vasker became the head of security for the temple.

His temple related duties were interspersed with missions as part of a security force accompanying Dark Templars. He rarely saw combat, but soaked in the breadth of experiences across the Empire.

In recent years, Vasker has been assigned hazardous and classified duties under the pseudonym Vasker Hashimoto. These missions have taken him deep into rebel-held regions.
