Valakar "Hardcover" Drazen is a grizzled, old Vesk soldier from the Swarm War. He left service after a rather nasty joint mission to Arcturus between the Veskarium and the Pact Worlds. Only 5 survivors made it back and he decided he was done with it. After retirement he felt he still wanted to help protect the alliance from the all the hidden threats both from the Vast and more locally. The ones the Stewards had too much of a stick up their butt to properly prepare for, so he went to the Starfinders for their tendency to explore and discover a lot of things they shouldn't. He's joined by a small Ysoki named "Doc" Kimple. She was one of Pact World companions on his Arcturus mission that didn't make it out unscathed, and left the Pact World military to stick close to the giant lizard that bulldozed its way through the horrors. Sitting on his shoulder is where she feels safe, and he doesn't bother to chase her off.
But he -is- a bulldozer. A large Scholar Armor Storm soldier whose gear hides how surprisingly fast he moves. He prefers to get into the face of enemies and run them down like a raptor out of Jurassic Park, and outside of combat his age makes him a lot smarter than people assume Vesk to be. It's his self-assigned responsibility to teach the younger generations how to best beat various aliens silly.

I've also got an Android Outlaw Envoy named Special Circumstances that I've built mechanically, but haven't fleshed out the backstory for yet.
And an idea for a Ysoki Mystic, your traditional sidekick the good guys take on but the audience is always suspicious that they shouldn't be trusting him.
