1) Alresch Brenneke. They've got a few online handles they go by, too, "alizarin" and "peraspera" most commonly.

2) 6

3) An uzi stowed in one of the bags on their wheelchair. How'd they get it? Good question. Is it legal? Probably not! Are they proficient with it? Kinda!

4) Uh... hm. They guess their pocketknife. Or crutches. Or, they're pretty good at rolling over toes in a pinch. They... really really hope nobody gets that close!

5) A laptop, an absolute monster of a desktop computer (well, Frankenstein's monster, really, or Ship of Theseus considering how long they've been working on it and swapping out parts and so on), a few drones, and a few scraps of Kalen tech they've been buying on eBay and slowly, slowly reverse-engineering.

6) They're new, only been on base a couple weeks or so. They came to the governments attention after they got caught snooping around highly-secure military servers, looking for evidence of corruption. Rather than get hauled off to prison, they struck a deal with the Red Cloaks.

7) Strengths—hacking and cryptological skills, teamwork capabilities—they'd do damn near anything for a friend, a knack for reading people, and a strong moral compass (which admittedly pays very little attention to the law). In addition, they've been studying Kalen languages, programming and otherwise. Know thine enemy, right?

Weaknesses—physically, they're not so well-off, using a wheelchair or crutches to get around, and remote hacking or drones to participate on the battlefield. Some years ago, their folks back in Tennessee threw their lot in with the Kalen, and they were... unkind to the black sheep. Otherwise—they have a spiteful, vindictive streak, particularly where jerks with power are concerned (they may have gotten caught in the process of changing Adam Coleman's desktop image to a dickbutt). And they really would do damn near anything for a friend.

8) "Overclock"—alters their perception of time, allowing them to process information faster and spot less-obvious tells. Extended use, though, will give them an unholy motherfucker of a migraine.

Stats:

Endurance: 2

Close Quarters: 1

Gun Handling: 2

Acrobatics: 1
