-Rogan Sokolov was born aboard the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier].  He joined the [[guarding_troopers_headquarters|Guarding Troopers]] as an apprentice, showing strong physical ability and an unshakable sense of fairness.

However, after the crash — later known as [[day_zero|Day Zero]] — his poor eyesight disqualified him from active service, a rejection that left a lasting scar on his pride.
 Following the founding of the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]], the Sokolov family settled in [[morningstar|Morningstar]], where his father and younger brother found work at the [[fogwood_sawmill_inc|Fogwood Sawmill Inc.]]. Rogan sought independence, first taking jobs as a caravan guard for the [[new_kourou_courier_service|New Kourou Courier Service]] along the [[trade_route|Trade Route]] and later working in Firetown as a freelance bouncer in the Entertainment District. His size and quiet discipline earned him steady employment at venues such as the [[saloon_gloria|Saloon Gloria]], where he became known for defusing violence before it started.

 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
-Use Rogan to turn **hazard scenes** into solvable problems: lifting gates, bracing collapses, and body-blocking ambushes. Reward his **cart-first travel** with steadier supply lines and fewer animal mishaps, while letting fast-mount missions create social friction. Lean on **Bouncer’s Rolodex** to open rumor doors in Firetown, and on **Human Shield** to protect fragile PCs during negotiations.
