Battalion commander of the Third Battalion, not yet thirty years old, never married and never had a girlfriend. He comes from a good family background—a whole family of martyrs—and is the only son left. His mother has cancer and does not have long to live, which is why he is in a hurry to find a match. He is described as handsome and proper, with a weary look, dark circles under his eyes, and faint stubble. He wears his military uniform impeccably and stands ramrod straight. He has glasses and appears disciplined and reserved.
