 Kito Jaroslav was born in 2578 as the second child of Martina and Abioye Jaroslav, a well-respected medical engineer and a synthetic botanist aboard the Last Frontier. Raised in an intellectually vibrant environment, Kito developed a deep curiosity for planetary formation, tectonics, and mineralogy.
-He studied Geology at [[last_frontier_university|Last Frontier University]], eventually becoming a research assistant during his PhD. After the crash-landing of the Last Frontier on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]] in 2625 and the loss of two of his supervising professors, Kito was appointed Professor of Geology at the re-established university in [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]. Kito’s fascination with the unknown landscapes of the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] led him to study the [[ralar_region|Ralar Region]], a treacherous and geologically unstable frontier. Driven by the belief that understanding the planet’s darker regions would unlock secrets about VOI 700 D’s deeper structure, Kito lobbied the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]] for funding and organized the ambitious [[vazhak_i_and_ii|Vazhak I Expedition]] in 2628.

-Three months after crossing the border into [[vazhak|Vazhak]], the expedition lost all contact. Despite multiple search efforts, no traces of Kito or his team were ever found. The Vazhak II Expedition returned in 2629, reporting signs of destruction consistent with an encounter with a Zathurr (Vazhak Maw).
+Three months after crossing the border into [[vazhak|Vazhak]], the expedition lost all contact. In 2628, the Vazhak II Expedition set out to retrace their path. During their journey, the team encountered a [[zathurr|Zathurr]] (Vazhak Maw) and lost 16 members in a devastating ambush. Based on this encounter and signs of terrain destruction, the surviving members concluded that Kito’s team had likely suffered the same fate. Kito Jaroslav was officially declared deceased in 2629.
-Kito Jaroslav was officially declared dead later that year.
+Unknown to most of the academic world, Kito Jaroslav was secretly engaged with his research assistant [[rosanne_fernandez|Rosanne Fernandez]] who led the Vazhak II expedition.

   * **In the Beta Age,** he emerged as a trailblazer—willing to put his life on the line to explore regions no Exohuman had ever walked. His leadership of the Vazhak I Expedition was as much about scientific curiosity as it was about proving that the Dark Side could be understood.
   *
-  * **In the Gamma Age,** his absence is felt in academic and exploratory circles. Some younger geologists refer to him as the “Lost Core”—a figure of both inspiration and caution.

+===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+Kito Jaroslav can be used in multiple ways, depending on the campaign’s timeline:
+  * **In the Alpha Age,** he may serve as a background figure in academic scenes, already noted for his curiosity in the planet’s crust and geologic anomalies.
+  * **In the Beta Age,** he is a high-risk expedition leader and perfect for involving the party in pre-expedition planning, sample-recovery missions, or failed rescue attempts. He can assign tasks, defend controversial findings, or serve as a key voice in scientific debates.
+  * **In the Gamma Age,** Kito becomes a legendary figure, his disappearance open to speculation and myth.
+Kito’s presence brings depth to science-driven exploration arcs and adds emotional weight to survival narratives. He represents ambition, loss, and the dangers of reaching too far into the unknown.
