Sramek is every bit the thug that he looks like. A native of the Tikonov Republic, Sramek fought on Tikonov itself for various forces during the recent FedCom Civil War, his loyalties seeming to blow with the wind. After the war was over, he ended up on Solaris VII where he hooked up with Leon Petrovsky and his Krazy Kossak stable. When Petrovky’s entire stable was annhilated by Blakists in 3068, Sramek was the sole survivor. Dispossessed, he made his way to Galatea to find work. In need of personnel to fill out the roster and having been a friend of Petrovsky, Hawker hired him in spite of some misgivings.

Sramek’s loyalties are uncertain. He frequently complains that “he is not getting paid enough for this crap” and does not socialize with the other Monkeys. Despite all of this, he has proven to be very reliable and fearless on the battlefield, willingly drawing fire so that other units can flank the opponent.

Sramek’s nickname comes from the scar on his forehead. This scar was not the result of a battlefield injury, but of a bar fight with none other than his former lancemate, the late Kenji O’Shea.
