My name's Steven Sykes; I've been operating under the alias of Cool Breeze since I left Ageira.
So your comm asks me what my history is, well I'll tell you if you feel so inclined.
I was born on Planet Manhattan where I went to Tarsus Academy for my education. When I became a senior student I figured I wasn't really being challenged intellectually, so I decided I'd hack the school's network. As you'd expect their security was lax allowing me to freely change attendance records and grades. Seeing this as a kind of power, I decided to exploit it by charging other students a small fee for me to change a few details of their year.
Eventually they found out and expelled me, leaving me with some free time. So I started to practice hacking seeing as it was fairly useful. I was a grey hat hacker for a few years, never really causing any harm. Once I decided I was good enough, I became a white hat hacker and helped out a few corporations. After becoming fairly well known, Ageira sent one of their puppets to hire me.
Their system back then was nothing, time and time again I defeated their security. I made myself fairly wealthy with my antics and contemplated retirement. So as one last job I hacked Ageira's most confidential files. Their corruption was astounding. I mean I knew there was some dodgy dealings going on, but nothing like this. I promptly quit and bought a Starflier in an effort to find you.
I took my starflier to Detroit munitions to pick up some heavier weaponry and then headed to Rochester to outfit my starflier fully. Seeing shooting those depots as a fairly easy way to make headlines, I launched an assault upon them. The authorities were right on the scene, but were slower than the bots in the simulators. Nothing could touch me.
With the depots destroyed I started intercepting Xeno patrols. They were a bit more of a challenge and eventually proved to great for me, until the Rogues came along. With a new ally I redoubled my assault and successfully eliminated the terrorists.
Confident that I had made enough of a commotion, I headed to Mactan in a dagger I picked up from Buffalo.
I received missions from hackers at the bar and together we disrupted bounty hunter operations in Magellan.
After considerable destruction, the hackers gave me the codes to sport a Lane Hacker Transponder.
