| **Personality:** While generally responsible on the surface, actually getting to know him proves otherwise. He will easily be the first to take a crazy risk if it seems fun or simply needs to be done. Usually found either in his office, learning a new language, or behind the ship's bar, which he runs and keeps well-stocked with historical and allohistorical alcoholic beverages. (Favorite drink is an amaretto sour, though the whiskey sour is an acceptable substitute).\\ | **Personality:** While generally responsible on the surface, actually getting to know him proves otherwise.

Implied to originate from that timeline's independent Montenegro, which is a rich, hip place, filled with seaside tourism and casinos. NIKOZNATE is a Linguistics and Egyptology nutjob, in the positive sense. Also, due to his mixologist skills, there are rumours that he might have worked as a bartender at Ouroborous, the famous Pub in the Hub of the Multiverse, after IAN left it to work in The Hub's administration.// \\ | **Biography:** //Comes from [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-8842988|a 20th century timeline]] that diverged from OTL probably during WWII.

He mostly spent his time wandering through the multiverse, gravitating towards Roman worlds until he just showed up at the Hub one day and went into school with SUPERMAN. Then, ABHAKHAZIA apparently did even more travelling, probably spending some more time in his first Roman timeline, and maybe going back home for a bit. He has kind of a dirty past that he doesn't like talking about, but the other crew members will mention it every once and a while to make him blush. Spends a lot of his time trying to get the idealistic SUPERMAN in line with his stark realism. Although a newer member of the crew, he is well acquanted with the ship and is basically the jack of all trades on board. Stashes a large collection of worn paperback history books from every timeline he comes across, fluent in English, German and Latin, and also known for stashing more of the ships alocohol (despite the fact he is almost never drunk.)// \\ | **Biography:** //Coming from the US of [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-8844317|a timeline with a 19th or 20th century POD]], ABHAKHAZIA had travelled several Roman Empire timelines before coming into the employ of The Hub.

| **Biography:** //Former [[Human Unity]] citizen, then an exile at The [[Hub]], looking for work. The timeline in which he originated remains rather dubious due to the messed up or lost HU paperwork (however, there is some minor evidence that points to his timeline's 20th century being frequented by, among other things, aerial piracy and extreme geopolitical balkanization.) Formerly a rather lowly engineer-in-training, his life changed drastically after he was chosen as an 'emergency recruit' and hastily trained as a military atmo-space aviator for a 'smaller border war' waged by Human Unity against the rival multiverse alliance of [REDACTED]. Sheepish and annoyed by what amounted to forced recruitment and a disrespect towards his mostly pacifist nature, he grew tired and jaded by these events. After the war ended, he was allowed to leave the HU Defense Fleet to finish his degrees and move to greener pastures. However, citing his surprisingly impressive flight record in the war, Human Unity recommended him at The Hub for the next multiverse exploration expedition. Wanting to start over, he eventually accepted the obnoxious shilling by the HU, and signed in for the new MES expedition at IAN's office. While his supposed double-ace credentials remain disputed due to the typically convoluted HU bureaucracy, most people trust his capabilities in the field.// \\ | **Biography:** //Former [[Human Unity]] citizen, then an exile at The [[Hub]], looking for work.

As he explains, his family is rich in South Carolina, where they control the pork industry. They own a chain of restaurants called "SC Barbeque House", which also has a storefront, selling bacon and other pork products. The restaurant's motto is "A tisket a tasket, a brisket basket". The family's estate is sometimes called "Baconheim", due to it producing so much pork. When Charles Edward left his home timeline, he adopted that nickname as his last name, with an "-er" added. Hence BACONHEIMER...
