Brief Description: See appended holographic file.

Personal History: Born to Colonel (then Captain) James and Margaret Sternen, Clay Sternen attended Emperor's School #34 until graduation in PA 90. While there, was noted for his high intelligence and athleticism, as well as an interest in the Roman Era of pre-Rifts History. At that time, Sternen studied Latin, but recent tests show only some of that knowledge has survived. After graduation, enrolled in the Coalition Military Academy as a Cadet, with a major in Military Intelligence and a minor in Computer Science. Learned to speak Quebecois, likely the cause of current inability to speak Latin. It was during this time that Sternen met Colonel Joseph Prosek II; similar interests resulted in Sternen frequently studying with Col. Prosek, as well as associating with him in what free time cadets are allowed. At graduation (PA 94), was assigned to Intelligence Evaluation, first in Chi-Town, then in Missouri near the Devil's Gate. Met wife Judith while at Devil's Gate while working on computer systems provided under contract from Cyberdex. Married 8-16-99. First child (James II) born 10-19-100. Wounded during the Battle of Newton, requiring replacement of eyes and left arm with artificial limbs, but also earning the Emperor's Medal and the Iron Star for the first time. Then assigned to Colonel Lyboc as Intelligence Liaison. Second Iron Star was awarded in 104 PA for data-analysis algorithm that proved Xiticix build-up in the North.

Psychiatric Evaluation: At last evaluation (prior to promotion to O-4), Sternen was judged to be in superior mental health, and to have attitudes appropriate to a Coalition Officer. Presence of cybernetic enhancements have not overtly affected performance, though it was noted that Major Sternen tends to go in more often than required for tune-ups on bionic arm, often citing an excessive whine in servos.

Recommendation: Major Sternen is to be retained on active duty under Colonel Lyboc's command. With more experience, Major Sternen has excellent command potential, and noted friendship with Colonel Prosek makes ascension in ranks likely and desirable.

Age: 29

Description: Major Sternen (rarely Clay to associates) is a fairly tall man with straight black hair that is going slightly silver at the temples. His eyes are a light violet in color due to their mechanical enhancements, and his accustomed long-sleeves do little to hide the fact that his left arm is bionic. He often wears a leather glove over that hand to avoid distressing family and co-workers.
