Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Josef

Josef "The machine man" is a commander of the Reclaimers Bear cell, specializing in cybernetics and trench warfare. Voiced by Joseph Kucan.

Description
(insert rest of lore here at some point)

And out of the three commanders, him, Mary, and Nokhoilun, hit by the redirected solarion beam from the forlorn charge. He was hit the hardest due to his base being the closest to the blast.

Compared to the other two, who were maimed but left with only scars, Josef had his bunker collapsed on him with the rubble pretty much crushing everything but his head, his upper chest, and right arm. Combined that with the bunker on the verge of being buried his soldiers had no choice but to cut off his head in order to escape. Thus, out of the five infamous commanders, he, alongside Bahlgram, was the only two thought to have been confirmed dead when the Hyperion struck.

Of course, once the survivors of the cell, carrying a special jar to keep his head functioning, had managed to reach their new base they immediately went to plugging his brain into the core network. And after a few months, Josef was basically revived and in control of his personal wing, since the rest put firewall to make sure he doesn't sabotage them.

To many this would have been a fate worst than death, being reduced to a brain that must live inside a jar with the only way to see and interact by cameras and machinery. But to Josef he considered it true ascension, the culmination of his soul finally transcending mortal flesh and becoming one with the machine, and once he was given full control he began brainstorming and furthering his pursuit of cybernetics and machinery. And it took only a few months from his insertion into the mainframe to finally make nanobots he control, and with that, he was finally able to become human again.

With his nanobots Josef can make a complete replica on himself to control and see, as if he wasn't confined inside the Reclaimers base core, form whatever clothes he want, and, if he is annoyed by a clones or needs to fight, transform a limb into a weapon to fight. And if the replica is destroyed he can simply make another.
