wears a woven metal-mesh body suit of considerable durability. He carries a plasma pistol which draws its energy from its internal power source.

Personality

Colonel Mark Deckard is a vigilante who considers killing, kidnapping, extortion, coercion, threats of violence, and torture to be acceptable crime-fighting tactics. Driven by the deaths of his girlfreind, who were killed by the Ky'Vhan Mercenaries when the zombie like soldiers tried prevent the developement of advanced tactical holographic technology, the Deckard at first waged a one-man war on the mob and all criminals in general by using all manner of conventional war weaponry. His family's killers were the first to be slain. A war veteran, Colonel Deckard is a master of martial arts, stealth tactics, guerrilla warfare and a wide variety of weapons.In the book the creation of Colonel Deckard as a juxtaposition of his two biggest influences: film noir and medieval stories. The result was the idea for a character that can be called a futuristic "Conan/Deatlok in a trench coat."

In the his good friend Dwight remarks "most people think Mark Deckard is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century. He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody's face. Or in a Roman arena, taking his sword to other gladiators like him."

Mark Deckard has an incredible level of strength which, coupled with his well developed fighting skills, allow him to bring down nearly anyone who challenges him or breaks his personal code of ethics with startling ease. Deckard is also fond of long trench coats, and immediately prior to killing someone in possession of such a coat, he often remarks something to the effect of "That's a damn fine coat you're wearing", after which he takes their coat, especially if the one he had was damaged.Has a laconic wit, especially in situations where he is fighting someone.Possesses a keenly acute sense of his surroundings.

Deckard suffers from an unnamed mental condition that causes him to "get confused", which, judging from his own awareness of his illness and the effects it is shown to have, probably involves short-term memory loss and possibly hallucinations. Deckard also fears "turn(ing) into what they always said [he] was gonna turn into- a maniac, a psycho killer." , xxxxhis parole officer, supplies him with medication (presumably antipsychotics) through her girlfriend xxx to control these effects of his condition. xxxx , a psychiatrist, once tried to analyze him, but he claims she got "too scared."

Mark Deckard pretends he doesn't have a particularly high intellect, but he shows a surprising amount of intelligence when needed, noticeably an ability to logically deduce confusing and complex events quite accurately, and his skills in combat also imply a degree of intelligence from a strategic viewpoint. However, in most situations he just smashes his way through conflicts, such as kicking down a door and sending police flying, or charging a squad of heavily armed cops whilst only armed with a hatchet.

Mark Deckard has a well developed skill and a strong appetite for torture. He never blinks or seems to think twice about inflicting the slowest, most creative and painful death he can possibly implement on his worst enemies. He speaks in a soft, plain-spoken, and calm manner, almost bordering on the nonchalant, showing no sign of hesitation or fear, even while committing gruesome killings. He admits in that he never feels bad about killing hired hitmen, though he may show mercy when extracting information from them. He also shows little to no fear in dangerous situations, even when heavily outnumbered, and faces them with a dry laconic wit. Deckard, instead of panicking when cornered by several members of the SWAT team, upon being asked to open the door, he very calmly states "I'll be right out.", before successfully fighting his way out of the building.

While Mark Deckard has no compunction about maiming and killing anyone he feels has wronged him or those close to him, even he has his limits. He is deeply afraid of winding up as "a maniac [or] a psycho killer" (as mentioned previously). He will only kill someone if, as Mark Deckard himself puts it, "I know for sure I ought to", making it a point to avoid unnecessarily hurting or killing those who have not earned it in his eyes.
