Miloš Holub

The man who styles himself the Protector of Trutnow spent his entire adult life in the Czechoslovak Army. Milos' parents were reformist party functionaries who were purged during the Prague Spring when he was still doing his compulsory military service. Due to his family's blacklisting, he was shut out from attending university and decided to stay in the army after his compulsory term was up. Although he knew he would never become an officer, he did well in the army, and by the time the war broke out he was a senior Staff Sergeant in a frontline armoured unit. His unit was destroyed during the Soviet withdrawal from West Germany and he fell in with a group of Soviet deserters who valued him for his ability to drive a tank. Eventually he became leader of the unit and washed up in Trutnow, where he set himself and his small gang of Marauders up as "Protectors" of the town.

Holub is a tall man with broad shoulders, a prominent jaw and messy dark brown hair. He wears a Czech sergeant's uniform and carries an American assault rifle.
