霜江 Shimoe (frost bay)

Hiraku (啓久) Shimoe (a.k.a. WesternPeregrine)
Male, 29 years old (793 A.S.)



Hiraku was born on planet Junyo, in the Shikoku System. The oldest of 3 brothers, he was the son of a manager of a fishing and commodity transportation worker in his homeworld. With his younger brother and sister, he helped the family business while dreaming of one day going to explore the stars above.

A few years before he was eligible for military service, the War for the Tau Systems occurred. Hiraku's father, unfit for combat duty but having knowledge of cargo systems, was assigned as a crewman for a supply ship for the Kusari front, where supposedly it wouldn't come to harm. However, the unexpected strike from Galia into the Tau Systems caught the Kusari Naval Forces by surprise. Losing track of the fate of the ship, it's unknown if the father managed to escape to Bretonia with the Emperor's fleet, or if he was lost on the onslaught.

After the war, feeling no interest in enrolling for the navy, or doing corporate work, he headed for Deshima station, and started working with the Bounty Hunters Guild inside Shikoku and the neighboring systems. Having a little more freedom than the foreign bounty hunters, he traveled all over Kusari, and established a good reputation with the Kusari police forces.

For a while he was an independent contractor for Kusari Police in Shikoku, providing protection to the Fuchu Prison complex, capturing of Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemum terrorists, and relaying information regarding smugglers and foreign criminal elements. He also flown occasionally with the bounty hunters to the Galileo and Kepler Systems, fighting against Lane Hackers and Rogues.
In a turn of his fate, he came under the leadership of a mysterious man with connections to the Hogosha, and begun working for the one known has The Fisherman as a bodyguard and Hogohsa enforcer. Nowadays he remains an agent for the Takarabune Conglomerate, playing a role of one of its most visible enforcers.

Other than a certain dislike for Galian forces, he cares little for politics of home and abroad, being indifferent to the Shogun, the Emperor or the Kusari Republic. Now a fully fledged member of the Hogosha, he still retains some contacts with the State Police in his early days, in addition to the distant relationship with his brother and sister.
