High Admiral Pavel Chekov is amongst the most veteran of the Stoinian Admiralty. He is part of the old guard from the Velutarian War. Nonetheless he excels at his command and currently serves as the CO of the 3rd Star Corps in the Hyperion Sector under Grand Admiral Pyke. His Command Base is at Deep Space Two. He also is responsible for two first contact situations: the Rascal Incident with the Ryccians and the lost Drakari Fleet.

Early Life
Chekov was born as the youngest in his family. His family were generational miners on Gagarin and had a steady but low income. Chekov however didn't want to become a miner and due to recruiters, he joined the military. His interest of the military came from an early age when the military values were taught to him in school. He became a leader there and helped his classmates. When the recruiter asked him why he wanted to join the military he said "I no longer want to be a b*tch." Thus he passed with a great score on the officer exam and enlisted into the Naval academy on East Point. In the Navy he learned to respect and be respected, this was often done through punishment in his eyes. However he maintained the talk from the barracks well into his officer career. For this he would be feared and respected by his subordinates.

Velutarian War
Chekov was put in command of a small destroyer when the Velutarian War broke out. He was stationed in the Tozoria Sector and served under Lord Thorne's campaign. Chekov wasn't impressed with his superior and made multiple claims to the higher ups. After 12 years of steadily rising through the ranks, he was given his own command: the 23rd Star Corps in the Gagarin Sector. For his flagship he received a new Manticore-class Dreadnought, the third of its kind: HMS Sevastopol. In the Gagarin Sector he helped liberate his home world amongst many others. While most naval officers would remain on their ships, Chekov prompted to join his marines in the Battle of Alexandropol on the ground. Here he got the nickname Blood 'n Guts. In this battle he personally slayed 10 Velutarians with his sword and got a taste of real combat which he really enjoyed.
 
When the final offensive came, he joined the Strategos to Velutaria. Here he joined his ODST Squads on the ground and eliminated key enemy targets. But when the Velutarians wouldn't surrender, he advised the King to bombard the planet. Eventually the King accepted this proposal, though Chekov refused to take any credit for it. He wanted the victory to be his King's.
After the war he was one of Stoinia's famous heroes and received many medals for his actions. His fame also grew, though Chekov despised this as he had no interest in media attention. He just did his divine duty as he put it. Al he cared about was his career. He would continue to do so for the next decades.
 

Mardakii Crusade
When the Mardakii Crusade was called, Chekov gladly answered it. Ever since he killed Velutarians, he dreamed of killing Mardakii. Now his wildest dreams could become a reality. He worked closely with High Admiral Hague and learned to respect one another and formed a rivalling friendship. Chekov was also impressed by the Cheunh's expertise. Truly the Cheunh people had earned his respect through combat, but Chekov held the belief that the Cheunh were in fact lost Terrans. Although no studies support this, Chekov treats the Cheunh with the same respect as he would a Terran.
At the battle of Oporon, he again joined his marines on the ground and slayed multiple Mardakii with his sword, which he had baptised God's Justice. While fighting a Mardakii Chieftain he gained his scar on the right hand part of his face. From this Mardakii, he made several items. Most notably his Mardakii Claw Knife. As a sign of new earned respect, he gave this Mardakii Chieftain's pelt to Vrath'olum'nuruodo, the famed Cheunh Admiral who helped the Stoinians tremendously. However when an officer had accidently called him Scarface while he was present, he had the officer in question immediately demoted.
 

Personality
Chekov is known to be strict and ruthless officer. Regardless from where one comes from, respect can easily be earned from him through the right means. Many who served under him told about him truly sticking to his nickname Blood 'n Guts. Like Stoinians call themselves worthy of the name Stoinian, his men believe that he is worthy of the name Blood 'n Guts. 
When in public however, he refrains from any attention though he enjoys having statues of him build. Some even say that he is a personal glory seeker, though Chekov has proven to be more than that time and time again.
