Kauko Nikula

Kauko Nikula is an enforcer in the Imperial Security Bureau, the right-hand of Spymaster Susanoo. Before the ISB, he was an operative in the elite Finnish Utti Jaeger Regiment.

Utti Jaeger
Kauko Nikula, prior to his employment was part of the Finnish special forces. He became a prominent member of the special forces during the CDC peacekeeping operation in the New Canterlot Republic. He got further attention in the Chinggid Conflict, leading his Utti Jaegar detatchment against the Iron Horde. It was later found that he participated in these operations to afford medical care for his wife suffering from tuberculosis. He considered whether becoming a mercenary will give him better pay to afford treatment.

ISB Service
Nikula was called by a member of the ISB to meet at the central Helsinki station. Agreeing to go, he went there. The representative introduced himself as a member of the ISB and offered to employ him. Though he was initially hesistant, he was offered free coverage of his wife's terminal disease. Knowing it is for his wife, he readily agreed.

He was brought to meet Spymaster Susanoo, who asked for a mission to complete first. He was assigned to kill a former Islamic Brotherhood member that fled to Argentinian soil. Complying, he travelled to South America.

ISB Enforcer
After killing his target, the Spymaster assigned him as his own enforcer for Earth operations. Additionally he was given his own battalion to command, which he quickly filled with fellow former members of the Utti Jaegers.

Sigma
In 2065, Nikula's wife has passed away from tuberculosis. He continues to work in the ISB, but has placed more focus on his work to distance himself from his grief.

Characteristics
Nikula, as a former member of the Finnish special forces is extremely proficient in combat operations. He has a high tolerance of pain, surviving a wound with a knife and an explosion that scarred a part of his face. He prefers using a Walther P99, and a ballistic knife in field operations.
