James Kulin

James Kulin was a highly ambitious LAAF officer who reported directly to Lord Marcus Roland during the Steiner occupation of Kentares IV. Roland assigned Kulin the task of suppressing revolts by the civilian population of Kentares, which Kulin did so in a completely ruthless manner, killing and arresting thousands of citizens. Kulin was also directly responsible for the murders of the Dresari family, especially Duke Eric, by personally giving the orders to have the royal family executed (on the orders of Lord Roland).

Kulin introduced himself to Joanna Dresari as "Kommandant James Kulin, of House Steiner". He demanded Joanna cease and desist her Resistance efforts, or else he would have captured Davion forces (i.e. Joanna's soldiers) executed. This transmission greatly upset Joanna.

Kulin's ambitions and considerable ego also managed to offend his own superiors, arguing with the commander of the 5th Donegal Guards combat command assigned to Kentares, Major Vonda Castro, and with Roland.

Ian Dresari and his resistance cell eventually found Kulin at a heavily defended Steiner base in the remote high desert and gunned him down, destroying him and his Mad Cat.
