Gerak is a hardened soldier, survivng through the Clone Wars, the Galactic Civil War and the wars between the Empire and New Republic that ensued, and the Xen'Chi War. His skills in battle are almost unparalled by those without the force. His heroic and couragous personality has earned him many medals, ribbons, and much praise from fellow soldiers and commanders. His stubborn nature is both a plus and a negative. He can almost never be moved once he thinks he is right. It is difficult, almost impossible to deter him once he starts something.
