Well, damn. Things've been interesting recently. So I was escortin' this convoy of what used to be Sylpheed's gang - not sure what to call 'em now, Malfient's boys just don't have the same ring to it... Well, that was one hell of a ride.

So I've made up me mind, I think I'll be joining in with those boys. I like their style. Learn a few things, teach a few things, get some more money for beer... maybe. Told me I had to tell 'em a little bit about meself, alright. Some random journal entries oughta do it, maybe...

Born on Cali Minor... damn, thinkin' on it now, that place's a bit of a hellhole. Cold, hard t'breathe... eh. Dad worked off-planet for the IMG all the way out there in Coronado. Came back ta visit once a month or so.

<div align="right]Dad died. Outcasts caught up a supply o' buildin' materials, headed for Pecos. Mine shaft collapsed right on top of 'im. Well, I just turned eighteen. Grabbed meself a little freighter and went out huntin' outcasts...

<div align="right]Typical sob story, if I think about it. One or both parents killed by some evil folks, as a young kid, grab the cheapest ship y'can find an'ead out fer revenge... well, was about there me story became not so typical. Some rogues saw me take down a few Stilettos in me little old Rhino, an' thought I 'ad potential... couldn't-a known how right they was. Took me ta Montezuma, out in Cortez, an' brought me up from there on as one o' their own.
