Karl Kappler

A hardened veteran with a dark past, Karl Kappler is an Imperial admiral who commands the Harrower dreanought Ravager.

Childhood
Karl Kappler was born on Drezzi during the Great Galactic War. Instilled with a strong sense of patriotism by his parents, he would become a strong believer in the Imperial cause. Both he and his younger brother, Erich, eagerly planned to one day enlist in the military. While his brother yearned to fight as an infantryman on the frontlines, Kappler hoped to become a starfighter pilot.

Early Naval Career and Marriage
Remaining true to their childhood dreams, Kappler joined the Imperial Navy while his brother joined the Imperial Army. He earned admission to the New Adasta Naval Academy on Ziost.

Cold War and Early Galactic War
Kappler was summoned to Balmorra during the final year before war resumed with the Republic. His presence there was requested by Darth Lachris, who believed Kappler's brutal strategies were precisely what she required to see the Balmorran Resistance crushed swiftly.

Kappler authorized the use of chemical weapons against the Balmorran Resistance, most notably the nerve gas trivoris.

Later Career
Not long after the cataclysm on Ziost, Kappler was put on administrative duty on Dromund Kaas while the Ravager was taken to a secret Imperial shipyard deep in the Outer Rim to receive isotope-5 augmentation. Both he and the ship would survive the Eternal Empire's attacks. As he was one of the few senior military officers left after Zakuul's attacks, Kappler was promoted to the rank of admiral during Empress Acina's efforts to rebuild the Imperial war machine. He also resumed command of the now-upgraded Ravager, which remained in orbit of Dromund Kaas for some months along with a number of Terminus destroyers.

Personality and traits
Although cool headed and soft spoken, Kappler is an aggressive commander with a reputation for never showing his enemies mercy. He is a staunch loyalist who genuinely believes in totalitarianism and the supremacy of the Sith. He has an equally strong hatred for the enemies of the Empire; in Kappler's eyes, the only acceptable fate that awaits those who resist Imperial rule is death.
