Physical Description: He is about 4'7" tall, with a squat, sturdy build typical of dwarves. Closer inspection reveals that he does not regularly work out his physique, as he prefers to spend nearly all his time on the Matrix. His hair is short and black, and he has bright blue eyes, on a wide, square face. Centered underneath is a large, flat nose--twice broken--but reset and only a slight bump remains.
He sports his facial hair proudly in a large full beard, the edges loosely tied on either side and hanging down to the ends of his chin. The lower part of his square chin is covered in a rough beard that hangs roughly halfway down his neck. his shoulders are wide and built, leading to a semi-muscular stomach atop squat pillar-esque legs.
He wears a long lined coat. Visible are two large pistols, one on either hip. He wears casual cargo pants and shirt underneath his coat, and form-fitting body armor. His arms are large, smooth chrome-looking cybersteel. On the backside of each bicep he has a hidden gun slide with a large pistol in each, ready to be deployed directly to his hand. He can normally be found wearing goggles on top of his head. and he uses them when he needs the plethora of options afforded to it, otherwise he just uses his smartlinked-contact lenses. Real wiz stuff.
Personality/Background: He was raised in the rich part of Seattle, born to a Upper-Corp father, and a mother who drank herself to death. He was very intelligent as a child, and had a love for all things tech. He left when he was young, only 16, and struck out on his own to Denver. He picked up a job as a corporate wage-slave, and it was then he got his first real taste of the Matrix--and he loved it. He lived in Denver for a while, even picking up a fair lass by the name of Milly. He had her move in with him, and soon she was with child. It was the happiest moment of Kalenhad's life. Tragically, his wife died giving birth, but Kalenhad took care of the daughter, named Angela--though she loved to be called Angie. However at 24 he developed a strong addiction to gambling. He just couldn't say no to the cards. He believed himself so smart that he couldn't fail, but as any gambler will tell you, you have to know when to cut your losses. Kalenhad couldn't.
He'd do whatever it took to get the money, and that was his first taste of the shadows. The corp wasn't enough pay, so he took small jobs on the side, developing his hacking skills. When he was 27, he botched a job due to being drunk off his ass, and lost most of his work. On top of that, his job fired him within a week due to 'down-sizing'. Drowning his sorrows in whiskey, he despaired how he could manage to put food on the table for him and his daughter. In a stupor he stumbled to his usual gambling haunt, a joint called 'The Siren's Call', owned by a small-time Orc who fancied himself a mobster, named Jimmy 'The Fingers' Johnson. He asked for a loan of 10,000¥, and bet it all on a high-stakes game. He lost. Jimmy gave him one week to come up with the money, and so Kalenhad scrambled to find what he could, but it was not enough. Exactly a week later, he returned home at night expecting for someone to be there to break his knees or thumbs--instead his daughter was missing and a note that said "Bring the money tonight, or you'll never see her again."
He flew into a rage and drunkenly ran down to The Siren's Call. In his blind rage he shot three security guards dead on the spot, and stormed into Jimmy's office. He demanded to know where his daughter was, and when Jimmy refused to tell him, Kalenhad brutally beat the man to death with his fists. As he came to his senses, his whole world gave out from under him. He had killed the only man who knew where his daughter was being kept. He spent a whole year searching for his daughter. He could find no leads. Eventually, thought it killed him to do it, he left Denver at 28 and moved back to Seattle, a broken man. Left with only the knowledge that he had doomed his daughter he loved more than anything because of his greed.
He ran into an old childhood friend, an orc named Juan, who was now known in the shadows as 'The Juarez Warez'. He had made a large name for himself in the underground, especially on the 'Trix, and offered to get Kalenhad into the running game of Seattle. He hooked him up with a fixer, Mark 'Street Sweeper' Murphy, and so it began. Now with 24 years of experience under his belt, he's no longer a newcomer to the shadows. He's outfitted himself with two cyberarms, modified to the max, along with wired reflexes and genetech enhancers. He still holds out hope that someday he will find even a scrap of information on his daughter, but he hasn't come anywhere close. It still haunts him to this day, and when he's alone the guilt tends to overwhelm the poor dwarf.
Concept:Kalenhad is an experienced runner, who's been in the game 24 years. He's primarily a hacker, and very good at it too. When push comes to shove, he's pretty good with one of his many pistols in his arsenal, and keeps all his tech running in sync. His guns are polished and cleaned regularly, he patches and updates his many pirated programs in his downtime, and he prides himself on preparation and professionalism in a run. He follows the contract to a 'T', and doesn't mind if it happens to get a bit of dirty work. Wetwork is fine with him, as long as it is justified or he's being threatened. He will not, under any circumstances, murder women or children. The mere sight of children being hurt is enough to send him flying into a rage as all he can envision is that person hurting his daughter. He prefers to just knock people out if he can help it, as he finds a large body count tends to make someone come after you. His contact Juan 'The Juarez Warez' is an old childhood friend, and helps him with anything he needs thats connected to the 'Trix, be it pirates program patches, node information, whatever he really needs. Mark 'Street Sweeper' Murphy is his general fixer, whom he has been working with almost 20 years. They have a good report, but Kalenhad knows that in the shadows you can't trust anyone too much. His only real friend of any type is Juan, and even then he rarely talks to him anything beyond business or casual. He's made vague inquiries and confided some about his daughter to his friend Juan, who has told him he'll stay on the lookout for any information relating to his daughter. Until such day as he find her and settles down, he plans to keep running 'til he's dead in the ground.
