Biography
Born in 1681 AN, a decade after the Kalirion Fracture, Justin Hunka was a native of the Severnaya Gubernya as Mishalan was known during the period of rule by the Unified Governorates of Benacia. The allegation of Amokolian ancestry initially disadvantaged his father, seeing him expelled from a teaching job in Rikstadt (St Riksburg) and obliged to make a living as a janitor for a washing machine assembly plant. His mother engaged in a number of unsuitable professions before taking a position as a cook in a mess hall of the Black Legions cantonments in the bailiwick.
The transfer of sovereignty over the Severnaya Gubernaya to Elwynn in 1685 AN brought an improvement to the conditions of the family. Justin's father now claimed Ocian ancestry in an effort to improve his standing with the new rulers of Mishalacia.
The Second Elwynnese Civil War (1692–1696) saw Justin's father impressed into service with the Union Defence Force. His records were lost during the chaos of the Scouring (1695), and he is believed to have perished during the final offensives of the war on the Amokolian Front. Justin was himself forcibly taken into the ranks of the UDF in 1696 AN. The immediate aftermath of the civil war had seen a near total collapse of the government and society, and no questions were raised about forcing men as young as fifteen into service, as the UDF was simultaneously having to make good on wartime losses as well as combating partisan resistance, endemic desertion, and a spate of mutinies. On the plus side for Justin, service with the UDF meant that he would have guaranteed access to rations at a time when northern Benacia was assailed by near universal hunger as the summer of 1696 never came and the logistics network of an entire civilisation was poised to collapse.
Justin's mother disappeared during the immediate post war period, believed by family members to have fled to Tellia, albeit possibly to have suffered the fate of many who attempted to venture onto the roads during the years of the Great Famine.
For the majority of his time in the UDF, Justin was attached to regiments within the LII Combined Arms Corps. The victors in the civil war were effectively an army of occupation in Upper Elwynn and the UDF was frequently obliged to act as a "fire brigade", responding to outbreaks of localised violence that the Elwynnese Landstorm was unable to contain. It was during this time of bandit hunting that Justin first began to attract favourable attention from his superiors. It was noted with appreciation that he had a knack for being able to prevail upon Elw peasants to confess their futile attempts at hiding away foodstuffs from the requisition parties sent out into the rural bailiwicks. He also developed a reputation for being able to smoke out partisans by judiciously setting fires in barns and farm houses, sometimes risking enemy small arms fire to cleanly cast a Florian cocktail through a window. He had advanced to the equivalent rank of a sergeant in the UDF by the time of its amalgamation with the Black Legions in 1703 AN.
