| Name: | Brachi Stildyne |
|---|
You see
Stildyne is middle-aged, once-brown hair now scattered with white. He is six feet, six inches tall, square, heavyset, heavily muscled, and ugly. His eyes are a dingy yellow color and squinting; his lips are thin, and when he smiles (even with genuine pleasure) they pull away from his teeth in an unpleasant way.
His face was never handsome, but it might have been passable once. Now, it has been ruined beyond repair. His nose has been broken many times, and is flat and crooked; one eyebrow has a scar running through it that keeps it from moving anymore. A cheekbone was once broken and is now shoved up against his right eye. A scar also bisects his upper lip.
The rest of his body, should you ever see him unclothed, is similarly scarred. (The man's uglier than his icons would lead you to indicate. It's quite canonical for people to recoil from his appearance, especially his smile.) His voice has the telltale rasp of a man who's taken one too many hits to the throat.
He is generally pleasant. This is only due to the fact that he generally doesn't give a damn about you or your problems. (Or, due to the very bad influence of small blond Dolgorukij, their slinky malcontent cousins, or over-fond, over-kind, overlovely Duchesses and inconsiderately considerate whores, he is trying very hard to pretend that he doesn't.)

Chief Brachi Stildyne is an ugly, hulking, broadshouldered Security worker who can break you in two pieces.
Well, he was-- and then he went AWOL from Fleet. Now he's an ugly, hulking, broadshouldered civilian who can break you in two pieces.
It's not at all that he doesn't LIKE you. It's just that he doesn't have much of a sense of brotherhood with anyone else in the world. People are convenient. Even helpful, at times. But he doesn't feel the automatic connection that some seem to.
He lived a fairly emotionless life, and then fell in love too old-- he's been fighting his feelings for His Excellency the inquisitor Andrej Koscuisko, and failing. In the end, it was this anomalous corruption of emotion that drove him out of Fleet and into Gonebeyond, to protect the beloved bond-slaves of his Officer.
And now, gone from Fleet and from the bonds he was supposed to protect, he's purposeless and not very damned happy about it.
[A canon oddity: Stildyne was raised to homosociality and homosexuality; it dovetails nicely with his biological orientation (he's got no problem with women as lovers-- he simply prefers men). The author has been known to remark that presented with a woman and offered sex or cards, he'd prefer cards-- especially if the lady's good at cards. He wasn't raised thinking that his sexual orientation is odd or wrong, and though he's encountered cultures in Jurisdiction that do think he's deviant, he just goes ahead and thinks that they're deviant right back. ]
Background
Stildyne lived in Jurisdiction space, which is commonly acknowledged to be the only space that counts. Past the borders of Jurisdiction is Gonebeyond-- but it doesn't acknowledge the law, and isn't really colonized, and so is ignored by and large as unimportant.
What is Jurisdiction? ..well, it's earth. Exploded across a hundred systems and planets, and allowed to cook for thousands of years. Some cultures have survived the millenia (meet the Dolgorukij, a pleasant people with a back-assword language whose favorite drink is a clear, hard liquor called wodac); some cultures have been born new (meet the Emandisians. They really, REALLY like their knives). It's a decaying empire, to some extents. It's grown too old, reached too far, and done too many stupid things.
Like institutionalizing torture. And prisoner-slavery, enforced by computers in your head.

Canon
He carried his child slowly back to where Security waited, noting with amusement that the look on Chief Stildyne's unlovely face was almost one of horror. Security did not have much to do with children as a rule. Still, Anton was a brave young soul, and looked up into Stildyne's ravaged face with grave courtesy that showed no tinge of fear or horror, putting his arms out unbidden to be held by a man of whom Andrej himself could be afraid-- and yet was not, knowing in the marrow of his bones that Stildyne would never do him harm.
Did Anton know that? Was there some special insight that a child's heart enabled that gave Anton the power to look into Stildyne's very ugly face-- the flattened nose, the mismatched eyebrows, the cheekbone smashed up beneath the eye, the thin pale lips, the narrow squinting eyes--and see only a man who loved his father?
