Notes: One of the hardest customs I have tried to create. I am still not overly happy with his hat, but I ran out of epoxy. I used the epoxy to mold the ammo pouch, the hat and the pistol holster. I carved away the pistol that was on the original Windchill middle piece so that it would like he was wearing a long coat. This picture however does not show that very well. I then sanded everything down so that it would fit and began mixing paint to try to match his uniform color.

Shrage grew upin a small farming village and witnessed first hand the exploits of democracy as it tried to spread its tentacles into Eastern Europe. Shrage was a quite removed young man when he joined the East German Army. He excelled in all the various infantry schools that he attended and was always picked to be the heavy machine gunner, both for his size and his removed personality. The heavy machine gunner was always expected to be the first to get taken out, and no one minded losing Shrage because he was a friend to no one. One thing however soon could not be argued, he was the best gunner the East German Army had ever seen. When the feldgeling Oktober Guard became an international coalition Shrage was the first one picked. His reputation as a gunner had spread as far as Moscow.

Shrage is indeed the quitest member of the Oktober Guard but do not let that fool you. His actions speak louder than his words, and when cover fire is needed to keep the heads of Cobra down so that the rest of the team can move in, he is always there.
