Josip was a Star Colonel in the Wolf Empire Touman, under Star Colonel Othar orders.
History
Josip was one of the warriors left behind by Khan Alaric Ward in the Empire, after taking all the Wolf's touman to Terra, to participate in the Battle of Terra.[1]
ilClan Era
After Star Colonel Othar took the Empire's control, beciming his de facto Vicreoy, he decided to create two new Galaxies, Rufus Galaxy and Lupus Galaxy, each composed of five new Clusters, he promoted all promising leader he found to the rank of Star Colonel. Josip was one of these. He was described as the deadliest man with a knife Othar had ever met. His leadership skills are unknown, but Othar must have been potential in him to promote him. He was put at command of the leader Cluster of Lupus Galaxy, the Ninety-First Wolf Guards.[2]
As his Cluster was the main unit defending Gienah, the Empire's capital, probably not Josip or Othar expected to be attacked there... but the facts proved that assumption was wrong: the 6 June 3152, the Wolf's Dragoons elite unit Zeta Battalion arrived there, in a private raid of their personal war against Clan Wolf. To test Josip's tactical abilities, Othar suggested to send the 91th's DropShips to intercept them, but the first opposed the idea, as it will be a disaster. Othar agreed with that, and, as Zeta landed far from the capital, Alliago City, send his Cluster to attack them in their landing area.[3]
The main force of the 91th had been landing, and were unloading from their Union-C's DropShips, when they received artillery attacks from the Dragoons DropShips. The 91th managed to escape their fire, but two DropShips were destroyed, and the last one had to escape.[4]
After a star Josip had sent to harry the Dragoons was annihilated, Josip knew than his Guards were broken. After informing Othar of the disaster, Josip offered to attack the Dragoons landing area anyway, but Othar ordered to return to the capital on foot, preserving his forces. Reluctantly, he obeyed.[5]
During their march, the 91th was harried by Dragoons' aerospace forces, so only two trinaires arrived to Alliago City, but Josip was one of the survivors. After Zeta moved to the capital and began attacking it, Josip found his nerve again... but that didn't save him: sometime before the 11 June, during the battle, a building fell over his 'Mech, and he didn't survived. His 'Mech's remains were found later by a team of Wolves, confirming his death. The 91th was totally annihilated soon after by Zeta.[6]

Josip's 'Mech was a Mad Dog.[7]
Physical Description
Josip was described as small enough to people believing he was a muscular aerospace pilot, with light olive skin and black hair.[8]
