As an orphaned child in the wastelands of the post-GLA-uprisingKazakhstan, Ultarak Nazarbayev learned to survive using only his wits and the battlefield debris that littered his homeland. A naturally skilled mechanic, by an early age he was jury-rigging wrecked and abandoned Chinese LRVs into makeshift but workable transport vehicles - a feat that quickly drew the attention of local warlords. Pressed into indentured servitude, Ultarak chafed under the demands of his new masters, eventually engineering his escape in a partially functional Chinese Overlord tank. It was during this flight that he ran across a GLA training camp, who took the young man in, put his former captors to the sword and quickly won his absolute loyalty.
