Andy Willet, better known to many as the Red Reaver, is one of the more recent additions to the infamous Reaver Merc. Co. Despite his young age and limited experience beforehand, he has become one of the most prolific hunters within the company's employment, bringing in gross profits of hundreds of millions per month. Most often seen in the cockpit of his favoured bomber, the Cougar, he is wanted by several organizations, most notably both the Libertonian and Bretonian Authorities, on countless charges for first degree murder, grievous bodily harm and destruction of state property. The very name "Red Reaver" is rumoured to strike fear in to the hearts of his targets, or so he would have himself believe.

Biography

Planet Los Angeles, San Marino, Andy's first and only home where he spent the first 18 years of his life.

Early Years

Andy's childhood was rough, to say the least. As an only child, he developed a sibling-like relationship with his closest friend, Nick Webber. The two spent most of their time together, and together most of their time in trouble. The two young tearaways were no strangers to theft and petty crime, from shoplifting to ship-jacking and everything in between. The pair of them were self taught pilots; during their younger years, destruction of property and auto theft fines came hand in hand. Their ability improved with practice, of course. However, so did the Police's tolerance. 812 A.S., both Andy and Nick were charged with theft, and in light of their previous offences, sentenced to 3 months prison time. On the condition that he promised to turn his life around for the better, Andy's disgraced parents agreed to pay the bail. He had no intention of keeping his promise.

Andy began to shut his parents out more than ever; as he did so, the crimes continued, though with more care to not get caught now. He couldn't keep this up forever though, not while he lived amongst the same people looking to bring him down. In 814 A.S. he slipped up. Once more caught for theft, not to mention assaulting a police officer. Again, his parents paid his bail, but this time that was as far as they'd help him. He no longer had a home to go to, nor parents who would even acknowledge his existence. Nick had it even worse. His parents had given up on him long before and so was stuck serving his full sentence. Andy was alone, and with nothing left on Los Angeles to keep him there, he took to the skies.

A Taste of the Mercenary Life

The best he could do to start with was find work on Junker stations. Taking jobs from anyone and everyone who would offer them. This, of course, lead to a lot of less than legal doings on Andy's part. However, by the time the law started to catch up to him, he had at least gained the trust of some of the criminal groups, including, luckily, the Liberty Rogues. Flying a Sabre which, for once, wasn't stolen (at least by him), bought from a lowly dealer in the darker corners of Alcatraz, Andy worked the Rogue hit list for a good few years. He built up a decent reputation amongst most of the criminal underworld in Liberty, not to mention a wealth he could have likely retired on. Retirement, though, wasn't something he was at all interested in. He loved the rush. Pilot after pilot dropping dropping, more and more credits to waste, more and more heads to his name. However, even with all that, he eventually wanted more. Looking to broaden his working opportunities, Andy looked to the best known Mercenaries in Sirius.

The Reavers

Andy's interest in the company came at a fortunate time, for him. Under the leadership at the time of his recruitment, it was a little more loose, easier for an outsider to gain trust than it was before, and became again after. It didn't take long for Andy to find the head of the gang, Sangria (Nancy Sweetwater), the criminal underworld has a habit of, collectively, knowing everything there is to know. Keen to impress, he contacted her immediately, arranging a meeting in the old Blood Money on Barrier Gate. Despite being a complete outsider, having had no contact with Reavers beyond working alongside them against Liberty Lawfuls by chance, Nancy seamed impressed that Andy was self taught in terms of flying, and gave him a chance. Under the company given recruit name of "Horny Reaver", Andy was quick to work on gaining the trust of others in the company. The best way he saw to do that, was work. He worked harder than he'd ever done before. Quickly becoming one of the most active pilots within the company, and with the claims to match it. It wasn't long before he was deemed worthy of full membership and granted a colour, Red.

From then on, the only way was up. With access to countless boards and contracts, he expanded out of the borders of Liberty, working in the Taus, Bretonia, Omegas, Kusari, Rheinland, even knocking on the doors of the Omicrons. Andy was at the top of his game, he was rolling in cash and the experience had done wonders for his piloting skills. He is known to have taken on entire snub craft wings alone, one of the reasons just the name "Red Reaver" is feared by many targets.

Today, Andy continues to be a success in his mercenary work, still known as one of the most prominent colours withing the Reavers. To date, his total kill count is not officially recorded, but is believed to reach at least the mark of one thousand. His gross profit is also undocumented, but is believed to be in the billions.

Personality

Slower to anger than most, if at all. He is not known for his temper.

Usually playful in his tone, making fun of targets before their inevitable death.

A lover of money and the mercenary way, there aren't many he won't kill if the price is right.

Though he tends to keep emotion out of his work, if there's any group of people he truly hates, it's the Liberty law enforcement. In his upbringing they were always in his way, though mostly through his own fault of course. It's more than the money that he takes joy from when killing them.
