Description
Col. Volcott O. Huey, sometimes referred to as Walcott O. Huey or Vladimir Volcott, serves as the commanding officer of the Angel-tai, a special military unit within the Transbaal Empire's space force. Holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he is a man of considerable age, standing at 185 centimeters tall, and is the primary authority figure assigned to manage the antics of the unit's five young female pilots. His career is a study in contrasts, balancing a rumored legendary past with the mundane, often humiliating, realities of his present administrative post.
On the surface, Huey presents a calm, gentle, and almost unflappable exterior. He speaks politely and carries himself with a military decorum that suggests a lifetime of service. This placid demeanor makes him appear as the only stabilizing force within the chaotic Angel-tai, meant to provide balance and direction. However, his attempts to control the group are almost always futile. Instead, he is frequently dragged into their absurd schemes, forced to clean up the catastrophic messes they leave behind, and exploited for his position and resources. Consequently, his daily existence is less about strategic command and more about damage control, resembling a harried caretaker or a beleaguered salaryman more than a decorated officer.
Underneath this calm facade lies a far more complex and compelling individual. Huey is a veteran of a significant past conflict, where he earned the fearsome nickname the White Wolf of the Supernova. While this reputation is rarely displayed, it erupts explosively when provoked to his absolute limit. The most famous trigger for this transformation is any insult directed at his meticulously groomed mustache. When goaded beyond reason, he discards his gentle persona entirely, reverting to a terrifying, hyper-competent warrior. In this state, he has demonstrated incredible feats, such as deflecting bullets with his bare hands, growing to a giant size, and single-handedly annihilating entire enemy forces, turning his defeated foes into petrified statues mockingly referred to as loser stones. This hidden intensity confirms that his legendary status was well-earned.
Huey's primary motivation is his own survival, not on the battlefield, but within the Empire's bureaucracy. He is perpetually on the verge of mandatory retirement, and his greatest struggle is to keep the Angel-tai, and thus his own position, from being disbanded. Because his livelihood depends on the unit's continued existence, he is highly sensitive to financial penalties, political fallout, and any operational missteps that could justify his dismissal. This desperation has made him surprisingly pragmatic and even greedy, as he is not above seizing opportunities for personal profit or securing his pension benefits. His actions are consistently colored by the anxieties of an aging worker trying to fend off obsolescence, making him a very human, if somewhat cynical, leader.
His key relationships within the unit are paternal, though often one-sided. He has a particularly strong bond with Forte Stollen. Having rescued Forte from being an orphan, recruiting her into the military and even saving her life during a mission, he acts as her surrogate father and respected mentor. Forte, in turn, is one of the few members who shows him genuine loyalty and follows his guidance more closely than her peers. In contrast, his relationship with the other angels is more managerial; he sees them as troublesome but ultimately considers them members of his family. He endures their chaos with resigned patience, balancing his duty to command with an occasional, begrudging flexibility that prioritizes their unity over strict protocol.
Over the course of his duties, Huey reveals very little character development in terms of personality change, but his hidden depths are frequently excavated. The ongoing joke is his struggle against retirement, but serious moments reveal the sharp tactical acumen that lies beneath his bumbling exterior. When the situation becomes genuinely critical, or when his past is invoked, he demonstrates that he has not lost his edge. His ability to switch from a compulsive worrier to a decisive, unstoppable force is the core of his character. Beyond combat, he exhibits a notable eccentricity: when stressed, panicked, or frightened—which is often—he has a compulsive habit of pulling out a vacuum cleaner to clean his immediate surroundings. This ritualistic action serves as a coping mechanism, an anchor to routine and order in the face of the overwhelming insanity his subordinates create.
