Short Fuse

The sapper Skret was a member of the former squad "Bridgebreakers". He can best be depicted from his entry in his military dossier;"Name: Skret aka Short Fuse""Squad: 4th (Bridgebreakers)""Rank: Private""Position: Sapper""Status: MIA, assumed dead.""Born into a poor family of Ratfolk drifters, his parents generally lived from one garbage dump to the next. Skret joined the Army due to lack of encouragement for his intellect. He was immediately recruited into the Bridgebreakers due to aptitude, some may say 'obsession', with explosives and alchemical creations. The Bridgebreakers were a new, specialized, squad under command of Captain Lash. They specialized in; bridge-building, laying mines, demolitions, general construction and building, and road construction and repair (with foot-soldiers available to defend). The Bridgebreakers became an immediate asset to the military, they would sneak around a city's walls while the main host was distracting the enemy and attempt to create holes on other sections of the wall so the reserves could breach from a new, undefended entry. However, the life-expectancy for sappers is low, due to their constant meddling with explosives."" Notable Feats ""- During the siege of -CLASSIFIED-, the army was looking at a standstill. The main host couldn't push any farther and it seemed like they would need to pull back to preserve resources. In a last-ditch effort, the Bridgebreakers were sent in to make an attempt on a wall. It didn't seem like it would work as both the 2nd and 5th squads were taken out almost immediately. The 4th squad, however, were able to get in and start working on placement of a bomb. With help from a talented soldier, Nujol Half-Ear, they were able to get the bomb set. As they pulled back the explosive went off early, though, and Skret caught a blast in the face, barely making it out alive (giving him the nickname 'Short Fuse' from his captain and fellow soldiers). 4th Squad was determined to be the reason the military was victorious that day, as the reserve pushed in and relieved the host enough for them to push in.""Note to File""Following a recent loss, and complete annihilation of the host, Skret (Short Fuse) and Nujol (Nick Nack) have been reported as MIA, presumed dead. A few soldiers who were able to make it back from the battle report having seen the Bridgebreakers overrun and seperated, Only a couple soldiers of their division making it back to base."
