Toby Gunn

Quartermaster Sergeant Tobias "Toby" Gunn is the quartermaster for the Hellas military base on Mars. He's rumored to have been something of a big wig in the military back on Earth, but was busted back down to Sergeant and shipped to the colonies for some kind of involvement with the CMPA.

History
A relic of the days before stem-cell therapy became de riguer, Toby has extensive mechanical replacements from an accident he suffered while in basic training in 2159, when a dummy grenade turned out to be a live one. Immediately after the accident, he was rushed to Central New Baltimore Hospital, where it is believed he met known communist agitator Markus Reevers, who worked as a nurse practitioner at the facility at the time.

Gunn quickly rose through the ranks of the military, training new recruits as well, including his future superior Ambrose Fuller.

In 2172, the New Baltimore Riots broke out, causing chaos throughout the city. In the ensuing investigations after the incident, it was discovered that Gunn had been siphoning supplies from the military to the Trade Unionists to help them prepare for the Baltimore Police's para-military response.

Gunn expected to be court-martialed, and all sorts of horrible punishments to be handed out, but his one-time student, Ambrose Fuller, stepped in. He was preparing to take over command of Hellas, and managed to convince his superiors that publicly punishing Gunn would only bring attention to military involvement in the riots. Instead, he was demoted, and sent to Hellas with Fuller, to serve as his quartermaster.

Personality
Gunn is a no-nonsense soldier, who keeps meticulous records. While this "bit [him] in the ass" as he would say, during the New Baltimore Riots, it makes him brutally efficient at his job in a supply-strapped place like Mars. However, Gunn can be bribed. It's common knowledge around base that he favors Cuban cigars, and anyone who can manage to secure him one can get a small favor, whereas anyone who can secure him a box can generally ask for anything within his power. Fuller tends to turn a blind eye to this, as it allows Gunn to raise morale while Fuller has to drive the men under his command hard.

Gunn generally has a soft spot for children, and seems to have taken a few of the scav urchins of Mars under his wing.
