History

Born on the planet Grafton 3 (locally known as "Earth" or "Terra"), a pre-jump world within the borders of the Tyrin Empire, near the border with the Federated Worlds. He was captured along with his friend John Wyson by the Azuli slaver Jemny Lovec.

With the assistance of Jemny's Engineer, Jerry, John, and a girl from Khet named Azzah Rasha escaped from the cryotubes, killed Lovec and took over the ship. Landing on the pirate planetTal Haliim, they managed to sell off some hardware from the ship to refuel, and took on a a smuggling job.

After dropping off their first cargo on Deimos-9, a shipment of weapons for a beleaguered rebellion, they were then hired by the rebels to transport some illegal alien artifacts to the nearby Deimos-4. On Deimos-4 they were given a job by the company Starwide Shipping to transport cargo to the planet Boras in the Tyrin Empire. The job was actually arranged by the solicitors of AJ Olsen and Michael Houghtaling, who were trying to maneuver their friends to Tyrin without their involvement becoming public.
