The optical feed can be used as a telescope and may view things at the microscopic level.

Character:
Standing at a massive 2.1 meters (6’ 10”) and 127 kilograms (279 lbs) Brother Timothy Ostrava is an intimidating figure. He has managed to live to the ripe age of 62 but he looks much older, though still tough and hard. His hair, while solid gray and starting to fade to white, is full and long; except for one area on the left side of his head where it has begun to grow over but the gleam of metal from an implant can clearly be seen. His nose downward is covered by a respirator unit which is black, chipped metal with vertical breathing vents. Above the nose is wrinkled skin covering high cheekbones and forehead. His eyes are the strangest part about this giant of a man, they remain the bright green they always were in his youth, just as crisp and sharp as ever. Such a bright green it seems to many that they glow.

The respirator is met just below the chin by the high-collared, long blood red robes of the Mechanicus, these robes flow to the floor and trail behind the tech-priest as he walks. Unseen to the world is the letter “R” in secret tongue (tech) etched into the bottom of the respirator unit. Below that against his chest is a flak vest. Between the vest and his heavy robes are lighter gray vestments which are not only home to all of his non-combat equipment but also his knife and Las pistol are hidden among these many layered inner-robes. A heavy cloak is piled on top of all of this, making the large man seem even bigger due to so many layers of heavy, finely made clothing. The cloak hangs off Ostrava’s shoulders with weights in the collar and the bottom rim. A simple yet well-crafted clasp on the front of the cloak’s collar is a secondary way of holding it in place. Underneath the cloak, a Las carbine is slung on his back: the rifle is easily noticed under observation but could be just as easily unnoticed by a casual glance. In the rare times he is not carrying his metal staff Ostrava slides this weapon of choice into his cyber-mantle just to the left of his spine. The “R” is also marked on both the front of his cyber-mantle and the end of his metal staff.

Brother Ostrava is different from many tech-priests in that he carries himself up right. This is what set him apart to be noticed by the inquisition. He is a loud man the times when he chooses to speak, which is often for a tech-priest. Being raised on a forge world he knows little of the ways of the imperium but makes up for that with an odd charm and a true will to learn. Like many tech-priests he believes humanity to be weakness and holds absolute respect for the machine god. His only real tie to his past is the “R” he maintains as a personal symbol. This is in the secret tongue of the tech-priests from Caprica III. It stands for his birthname of Ryan. Before he was granted entry into the Mechanicus and renamed Ostrava at the end of his machine spirit rituals.

Timothy was born too a poor family on the forge world, Caprica III. At an early age his father began teaching him about machines and tech-use. Timothy took this to heart and picked up everything he could from anyone who would teach him. This got the attention of the local Adeptus Mechanicus chapter who began teaching him the ways of the machine god. At 8 years old, Timothy was taken to a Mechanicus academy. That is where he spent the next twenty years, soaking in as much information as he could and losing all touch with humanity outside of the academy. During this time Timothy slowly gathered more implants until he finally had taken absolutely everything he could from the academy. Timothy Ryan took the new name of Brother Ostrava and left the academy to his first assignment.

At this time the Mechanicus began working at the forge creating the blessed weapons of the God-Emperor. He only spent two years here before he needed something which would grant him more knowledge. Ostrava arranged to be reassigned to an Imperial Cruiser, this was no small feat but Ostrava managed it. He spent the next thirty-two years traveling with the Cruiser, acting as interpreter between captain and ship. A special man visited the ship one month ago. Ostrava hacked into the man’s transport ship only to find out it belonged to the Inquisitor Gideon Eisenhorn. Unaware of the severity of this action Timothy didn’t bother to cover his tracks. Shortly after the inquisitor’s departure, Brother Ostrava was reassigned to serve on an Ordo Hereticus Cruiser, commanded by one Inquisitor Gideon Eisenhorn.
