Provost Vantir is the first mini boss you face in Harbinger. He is faster on the feet and better armored than any other foe you face up to that point. He is armed with a powerful Provost Gun, which fires red pulses capable of causing considerable damage to you, irrespective of your character class. The gun seems to have faster firing rate than any other gun your foes wield till that point, and can completely counter Culibine's natural regeneration.
Thankfully, the Provost Vantir does not seem to have any additional resistances than what ordinary Vantir troops have. I used plasma ammo and brought him down pretty quickly. The only thing you need to do is dodge the red blasts. Getting hit by a couple of those will not kill you, but take 4-5 in a row, and you will be looking for the Quick Load button. Oh, and don't try to engage him in melee. Even if you are a Gladiator with melee skills close to 40, he will pound you into space dust in no time.

Sadly, when I equipped the gun dropped by Provost Vantir (when I was playing as Gladiator), I found that it shoots normal plasma blasts (green, not red). Weird! Oh well, perhaps the Provost had some mod chips installed in it, which were automatically unequipped when he fell! :P
