Phillpe Alberto is a Corsair Commander who flies under the patronage of Corsair Elder Ben Laowai and is often found in command of the Xibanya Nuren and the Corsair gunboat Outsider. While in command of the latter ship, and as part of a strategic deal signed between the Corsairs and the Colonial Remnant he was stationed in Tau 44 on Sulawesi Station where he commanded the Outsider on numerous interdiction missions on Outcast Cardamine shipments. Recalled to Corsair space he then took the ship on a charting mission throughout the Omicron Delta system and afterwards resumed piracy operations in Omega 7, Cambridge and the Dublin system.

Alberto is known for his overly formal manner of speech, thought to be his way of compensating for his lowly station at birth. He tends to follow the precedents set by his Elder patron and prefers to use words to resolve battles before resorting to weapons. He is however a staunch follower of the ancient Cosair code of Conduct and has no hesitation to stand by his fellow Corsairs when it is required.

Upon the disappearance of Elder Laowai it was found that Alberto had been bequeathed command of the Elders' Gunboat and Cruiser class vessels, both of which he had commanded previously. Alberto however mothballed both ships for several years and has only recently been seen in the skies of Omicron Gamma once more.

Personal Bio

Born on Planet Crete to a poor family in the slums on the outskirts of Capital City, Alberto lived a harsh and difficult live as a child, undergoing basic schooling but forced to work in the family trapping business to help his family make ends meet. Nearing the usual age for a Corsair to undergo his trials Alberto struggled to find sponsorship but after petitioning Elder Laowai was able to undertake the tests and passed it with only minimal fuss. First joining the crew of the Xibanya Nuren, he rapidly rose up to the ranks and proved himself a capable leader. Gaining in trust he was appointed to the rank of Commander and was given command of the Outsider. Alberto has seen modest financial success since taking up his station and is still supporting his family on Crete, recently moving them into much nicer quarters closer to the center of the Capital City. During this time, he has also become an avid reader of some of the most notable literature from across Sirius and in that most un-Corsair-like of traits has begun to try his hand at writing himself.
