Sven Dunrich

"I gotta hand it to the kid, he’s getting pretty good with that thing.” (Snowblind: The Harpies)

Biography
Sven (Vinny) Dunrich was born four years before E-day. His older sibling is his sister, Guinevere (Gwen) Dunrich. During their early years, the two played often at the Jacinto Park playground where they would spend hours playing with the other neighborhood kids.

At the age of seventeen, shortly after graduation, Sven joined the COG, and was sent to basic and then was transferred for sniper training.

The Gears
During the fall of Jacinto, Sven experienced his first day in action as he was sent in with Epsilon One to assist in evacuation of Jacinto’s civilians. Relieved that his sister was safely evacuated, he continued with his squad to Port Farrall and then relocated to Fort Block.

After spending nearly a month at Fort Block, he started to get on his squad’s nerves and it was widely suggested that he be relocated to another squad for some more field experience. His squad leader, Captain Miller, transferred him to the newly reformed Sigma One, where he was joined with Sergeant Milane.

Snowblind
After being transfered from Epsilon One, Sven is deployed with Sigma One outside Port Farrall to locate and quash the hostilities threatening COG outposts. Unfortunately, their chopper falls under attack and the squadron is forced to jump out before their vehicle crashes. Too far out to join the other squads at the dropoff zone, Sigma One relocates to Hurl Dam to establish contact with command.

As the story progresses, Sven proves himself to be a very proficient marksman, even under stress as his team starts to become more dependant on his skills.
