Robert Kramer, aka Doc, is Vanguard's A-squad recon specialist and also its Executive Officer. His rather inappropriate codename comes from a nickname he earned some years before for his tendency to be a good listener, as well as offering advice to people in need; hence teammates began to call him "The Doc", a name which eventually stuck. Most people now simply call him Doc, though those very close to him typically call him by his real name.

Doc is a step above most recon specialists-or soldiers, for that matter-because he's also a Lycanthrope: a shape-shifter, able to assume man-like, semi-lupine form that is incredibly fast, strong and hard to kill. Both in human and Lycanthropic form Doc has heightened senses of hearing, smell and sight, and his strength, speed and endurance are several times greater than those of normal humans. He uses all of these things in battle and sometimes out of it, and tends to share the Lycanthropic trait of being higly protective of those he cares about, particularly his wife, Kayla and "younger sister" Erin Fox.

For a Lycanthrope-which are normally energetic and a bit excitable-Doc is surprisingly laid back, but tends to have a short fuse and reacts very poorly to threats against those he cares about; in fact doing so will usually result in your very swift and painful death. His views on "justice" could be called ambiguous at best, as Doc firmly believes that people who prey on innocents should, quite simply, be run down and slaughtered. Typical of Lycanthropes, Doc enjoys anything that gets his adrenaline going, particularly battle, where he can let himself go, though rarely does he do so if it will put his teammates at risk.

Doc is a fully qualified Air Force Forward Air Combat Controller and Special Security Forces program officer. He has completed Sniper School (qualified expert), Jungle, Desert, and Arctic Survival Schools, SCUBA and Long Range Recon Patrol training; he is of course, Airborne and Air Assault qualified.

Doc speaks Russian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese as well as a smattering of Comanche and Navajo, the latter taught to him by his wife.

Design Notes: My original Doc had a goatee, which I never imagined him having; since he is VERY loosely based on me, I opted for the Agent Faces head, which looks a lot like my own goofy mug (more when you get rid of the goatee). The use of the Spy Troops Cross Hair body was an effort to get close to the sort of uniform I'd imagine a recon specialist wearing, and to add some height; the Cross Hair body is just a bit taller than most other new sculpt figures, and I wanted to give Doc some height.
