Private Holyman of the K-12 unit was a soldier steeped in eclectic faiths, his body a canvas of interwoven religious iconography and protective sigils from diverse cultures. Though his core beliefs defied easy categorization, he ascribed distinct purposes to each tattoo: a left-arm emblem for self-preservation, a chest design to shield comrades. During the Arachnid purge at Fort Casey, his unit sustained devastating losses when they defied orders to secure a live Queen Bug. Surviving the massacre, he later joined the retrieval mission for the vanished *John A. Warden*, where he quietly revealed to comrade Ice Blonde which markings he trusted as shields—a prelude to his final sacrifice. In Earth’s climactic battle, he threw himself into a plasma blast’s path to save Ice Blonde, his unfinished cross gesture cementing the tattoos’ prophesied power. Taciturn yet devout, his sparse words and silent intensity contrasted with ritualistic gestures and symbolic acts that conveyed his convictions. He occasionally debated divine mysteries with fellow K-12 trooper Kharon, though their dialogues’ substance went unrecorded. His documented service concluded within this arc, with no expansions in subsequent chronicles.
