Origin
Cambridge, Bretonia
Born to a middle class family on Planet Cambridge, the hear of Bretonian education. Darnell was a difficult child, always rebellious, always looking for trouble. Darnell was kicked from school approximately twelve times and ended up in a military school on Cambridge. Constant drill and education have formed Darnell in a well educated and disciplined man. With graduation with 18, he joined the Royal Marines on Planet Cambridge went through basic training competing with the best of the Military Base. His Military career would be very progressive as he raised through the ranks quickly and got promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.
After the death of his parents, Darnell changed a lot and became an alcoholic roaming the nearest bars for a drink and a bar fight. It would take a couple of years until Darnell would find an even opponent, a woman, a bounty hunter to be precise who had a drink with her partner in this very particular bar where Darnell was offending the guests, his drunk mind and his sorrow made him unpredictable. Darnell never took such a beating in his life especially not from a woman, Clara kicked his ass. After the fight, they took him with them to Omega-3, Freeport 1 a Zoner station in the system. They would treat him and eventually become close friends as they changed his life and he was a new purpose in himself.
"Warrior"
Darnell became close friends with those two and eventually joined the Bounty Hunters Guild as their apprentice. Omega-3 was quite a dangerous place, the Red Hessians and Corsairs were tough guys and the Bretonian Armed Forces weren't always there to lend a helping hand, other Bounty Hunter groups were rivals of those three. Darnell was a former Royal Marine and his fighter skills were average but he was a hotheaded person, Clara and Hisanao always had trouble with him getting into fights with their targets and persons on the Station. After a while, they gave him the nickname "Warrior", he was always a fighter someone who would always let his fists speak instead of negotiating with words. After a few months in training, he has become aware of his skills and began to grow an arrogance which leads to more complications within the team. Clara and Hisanao were tired of Darnell's constant bar fights and eventually gave him the option to either leave the group or finally become a true member of their group. Darnell realized his issues and eventually would work on them, and began to be more calm and reserved.
Darnell finally having his feelings under control has been improving a lot, his rifle skills were already exceeding Hisanaos who was their sniper and his hand to hand combat was almost on the level of Clara. Their group was hired for very dangerous missions around Omega-3 and the southern Edge Worlds in Sirius. Which lead to the eventual meeting of Ansgar and Lara Stahlbrecher, who paid a generous amount of money to be "smuggled out" of Rheinland in 803 A.S. They brought them to Freeport-1, the Zoners never asked any questions and the Station wasn't in reach of the Rheinland Federal Republic since the Zoners enjoyed neutrality. After a few years, the Stahlbrecher's had to leave, both knew that Rheinland would find them someday and they would never let something happen to their sons Arthur and Drax. Both parents paid a generous amount of money to the Bounty Hunters to keep an eye on them as both would live in the orphanage on Freeport-1. Both developed a big interest in them and eventually were taken care entirely by them, as all of them tried to spend as much time as they could with Arthur and Drax. In the end, it was Darnell who developed a more "fatherlike" relation to them and began to train them into Bounty Hunters.
Early years as a Bounty Hunter
Omega-41, Southern Edge Worlds
While Drax and Arthur were going to school and getting the right education, the group went on their missions as planned. Difficult raids into the deeper Omegas, assaulting Hessian warlords who assaulted travelers in Omega-3. However, profit was always on the mind of Clara and Hisanao. Darnell became more reserved and profit wasn't always his first choice as he became the leader of the group he wouldn't always accept the toughest and worthies missions. He appreciated living more than a paid out bounty that became a simple rule for him as they were on a mission in Omega-41, a simple escort contract, easy money as they were thinking. However, their escort was worthy enough to be ambushed by Red Hessians and it seemed they were very angry about something. A tough fight broke out between the Bounty Hunters and the Red Hessians as their contractor was fleeing to Omega-5 only to be captured on the other side. With the loss of their contract, they weren't simply fighting to defend the contractor's vessel but for survival, the Red Hessians were one of the best pilots in this sector and they definitely knew what was going on, however, it wasn't enough and Clara and Hisanao were shot down and their vessels destroyed.
Darnell barely survived this fight as his vessel has been destroyed as well and he had to eject his into his rescue capsule. Drifting around in space for a couple of weeks as he was found by Zoners, transporting H-fuel to Freeport-5. Darnell has been treated on the medical station and returned to Freeport-1 a few months later. He was curious about what the boys were up to and if they're still on the station. Darnell realized how much he bonded with them and took them both with him to begin a new life. They had more a father-son relation now, as their parents were gone and nowhere to be found.
Teacher
Goldfields of Dublin, Bretonia
Darnell realized that those two would never adapt to life on a Zoner Freeport. And so he began to teach them how to be a successful Bounty Hunter, both without military education and barely thirteen years old exercised after school as much as they could to harden their bodies and build up muscles. With their graduation from school and almost six years into training under Darnell, they were ready to deploy for their first mission. Their first mission wasn't much to talk about a rather well known Molly terrorist had to be stopped in Dublin, they spend days and weeks to spot and track down the terrorist, but finally Drax managed to get a hint, a meeting with some "trader" he met on the old Battleship Hood, which is known to be under control by the Independent Miner Guild, it holds all sorts of people, however, deep in the Goldfields of Dublin they met the contact of Drax. It was a rather unsuccessful meeting, a simple Artifact smuggler was their "contact" however it shouldn't take long until they managed to track down their target. It was rather luck than any ability of them, the Mollys launched a raid attack on the New London Jump Gate, it was now their chance Battleship Essex contacted all available Pilots near the Gate. The Mollys were already slaughtered by the Armed Forces as the Bounty Hunters arrived, claiming their target and their payment. The Armed Forces returned to Essex, leaving the terrorist behind, belonging now to the Hunters he was turned in on Essex, rewarding a small wage of a few hundred thousand's of credits, nothing that it would be worth to die for.
Darnell took them on more missions, few were dangerous, few were not, different tasks each time, training in the time between new missions. He taught them everything he knows, forging them into specialists of the hunt. One day they would go on their missions, these two brothers made a perfect team, relying on each other, trust was their most powerful weapon in combat. The new group filled Darnell with pride as they were hired more and more and eventually become one of the most successful operating Bounty Hunters in the Southern region of Sirius.
Retirement & Return
Planet Manhattan, New York System, Liberty
Darnell was proud of his "sons" and eventually retired as an acting Hunter and let those two finally have their way. Drax and Arthur would travel through Sirius taking on jobs and build up their reputation and eventually become one of the most known and dangerous Bounty Hunters in Sirius. Darnell has done his duty and let them go, and began to build up his life in retirement on Manhattan where he met his wife and married her one year later. They had a good and carefree life with Darnell being very wealthy. Only three years after their marriage the worst happened and Lilian died to a Rogue raid on Detroit and Darnell lost everything he had of worth in his life. After Lilian's funeral, Darnell returned to the Bounty Hunters Guild to hunt down the Rogue attackers and was eventually successful. It didn't take long for him since Rogues weren't really smart and always bragged about their recent success. He found the attackers on Rochester, a Junker Station in New York and created a true bloodbath as he took down everyone who was present in that hanger bay. After avenging his wife he kept on taking missions again, returning to the only true thing he was capable of, hunting criminals across Sirius.
