== History Biography==

After the commander of the [[Vervun Primary]], Marshall Marshal [[Gnide]], was killed by the city's paranoid High Master, [[Salvador Sondar]], the city's ruling noble houses nominated various candidates to replace him. The head of House Anko nominated his cousin, Heskith, for the post, but he was outvoted (7-1) in favor of Marshall [[Edric Croe]]. As a compromise, Heskith was appointed his second in command, but the two men did not get on well; where Croe was tall, courageous, and austere, Anko was short, stout, and easily unnerved. The arguments between the two men quickly became notorious around the VP's headquarters.{{Fn|1a}}

During the Third Storm by the [[Zoican]] forces, Anko lost his composure and demanded that Croe come up with a plan of action; . Croe, his patience gone, struck Anko to the floor, before leaving the command center to take personal command of a reinforcement unit.{{Fn|1b}}

Hours into the Third Storm, Anko had shouted himself hoarse in the command center, trying to make himself heard over the chaos, and finally broke down completely after seeing the mass of activity reflected on the command center's plotting table. With apparent calm, he drew his sidearm and shot the table for insubordination, then the [[servitor]]s at their sensor stations, and then any member of the command staff that tried to flee or subdue him. He only stopped shooting when he caught sight through the window of the Zoican missile that zeroed in on the command center and destroyed it, killing Anko and everyone inside.{{Fn|1c}}
