| − | ** Mother: Mary White; Deceased (764 [[AS]] - 816 [[AS]], Age 52). A Senior constable within the [[Bretonia Police Authority]], Mary had been in active service since she joined at age twenty-one in 785 [[AS]]. Following her promotion to Constable in 789 [[AS]], she was reassigned and spent three years working with the Bretonian Embassy on [[Planet Manhattan]], [[New York]]. She returned, pregnant with Noah, near the end of 792 [[AS]]. The details of her unborn child's father were never made public, and he was born the following April. In 805 [[AS]], following twenty years of active service with the [[Bretonia Police Authority | BPA]], she was promoted to a position of Senior Constable and stationed on [[Planet Leeds]], to where she and her twelve-year-old son relocated. Mary died in combat in December of 816 [[AS]] when her wing was intercepted by [[Kusari Naval Forces]] vessels during assignment at the [[Leeds]] [[Jump Gate]] within [[Tau 31]], prior to the [[Leeds]] offensive of the Kusari-Bretonian war early the following year.

| − | Noah was arrogant and rash in his youth, quick to anger and jump to the defense of his ideals and friends, however has calmed considerably through adulthood. At thirty, he have developed into a respectable (if occasionally immature) man with a dedication to his work and a love for his nation. Having served two four-year terms with the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]], he is accustomed to obeying orders and approaches his career with the determination of a military man. He is a capable pilot, and finds immeasurable joy when behind the controls of his spacecraft and when travelling the deep recesses of space.

| |
| − | Due to the recent conflicts and personal losses, he harbours a dislike of anything associated with [[Kusari]] or [[Gallia]], and mistrusts those who are aligned with them.

| |
| − | As a part of the common single-parent single-child category of families on [[Planet New London]], Noah's childhood was enviously normal and uneventful. His mother was hard-working and loving, and he holds fond memories of countless days spent with his best friend, [[Ender Wiggin]]. An able and popular student, he performed well at school and showed encouraging signs of becoming a respectable young man.
| |

| |
| − | In 805 [[AS]], his mother, Mary White, was promoted to the rank of Senior Constable within the [[Bretonia Police Authority]]. While a promising development financially, it meant a transfer to [[Planet Leeds]] and a sharp downturn in the family's quality of life. With devotion to her job rivaling that to her family, the two made the move and waved farewell to [[Planet New London | New London]] for the foreseeable future.

| − | A notably worse environment within which to raise a child, [[Planet Leeds]] remained true to its rough reputation. Unwelcome from day one simply because he'd come from the "high life" of [[Planet New London | New London]], Noah's academic performance took a sharp downward turn and remained so for the entirety of his school education. While not disliked in general, being the subject of much bullying just "for the sake of" deterred friendship with his peers and lead to quite the miserable experience. This, coupled with his mothers' increasingly long absences on assignment (frequently beyond the borders of the [[Leeds]] system entirely, for weeks at a time) would be enough to drive most children of twelve insane - but instead, vehemently refusing to become dull and depressed, Noah simply started becoming oblivious to it all. Although it didn't help matters, it certainly stopped them getting worse.
| |
| − | It did, however, leave a dent in his motivation, leading to much of the personality that he has today. His grades dropped to a sub-average level and although he did graduate, any future ambitions - if he'd had any - would've been hindered by his low scores.
| |
| − | He followed the social norm of [[Planet Leeds | Leeds]] and moved from college right into enlisting with one of the plethora of Bretonian factions available, specifically choosing the [[Bretonian Armed Forces]] in an attempt to fix a place in the "least dull" line of work that he could.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Much to his surprise, he found a new love in flying - even if it was only simulated. Following the discovery he opted to move back to [[Planet New London]] to attend a [[Bretonian Armed Forces | BAF]]-run academy and training program. With tensions rising between [[Bretonia]] and [[Kusari]] in the Tau sector, he was accepted instantly and headed home. Mary, remaining in [[Leeds]] with the [[Bretonia Police Authority | BPA]], immediately objected to his intentions to join the [[Bretonian Armed Forces | Armed Forces]], although her reasons were not clear enough to persuade him. After all - she'd led a successful life as a pilot, so why shouldn't he follow a similar path?

| − | Finally inspired and doing something he loved, Noah performed exceptionally well in his studies and training in the Military Academy of East Evelyn on [[Planet New London]]. Reunited locally with his childhood friend [[Ender Wiggin]], things had begun to look up. He earned his pilot's license within a year and began field training in 812 [[AS]], and over the next two years of his stay received many recommendations and offers to join with various [[Bretonian Armed Forces | BAF]] units. All the while, his mother was desperately trying to convince him to avoid the same type of life she had endured and hated, warning him that there was no way out. She almost had him convinced on several occasions, but the alternative to becoming a pilot - that is, not becoming one - wasn't an option for him anymore. He was simply too in love with it. With the onset of hostilities in the [[Tau War | Tau sector]] between [[Bretonia]] and [[Kusari]], he found himself deployed in the rapidly developing war zone. Headstrong in his ability and eager to protect his home, he fought to counter the endless [[Kusari]] assault.

| − | Noah's situation change significantly with the death of his mother, Mary, in 816 [[AS]], at the hands of the [[Kusari Naval Forces | KNF]]. On the front line of the conflict at the time and increasingly disillusioned with the [[Bretonian Armed Forces | BAF]]'s losses, he disobeyed direct orders from his commanding officer and led an offensive against the [[Kusari]] battle line. His rash actions cost the lives of four of his wingmen and numerous personal injuries. Conscious of the severity of his actions and his friends' lost lives, he deserted the [[Bretonian Armed Forces | BAF]] and crossed the border into [[Liberty]]. Advertising himself as a [[Freelancer]], he hoped to gain some focus and understanding of his life while working for various parties.

| |
| − | It was here he met [[Jessica Sullivan]], a young pilot from [[Planet Manhattan | Manhattan]] who, much like himself, sought escape from her current ties. The pair became friends and she carefully introduced him to activities below the line of the law such as the blooming trade in [[Black Market Munitions | black-market munitions]] and imported [[artifacts]]. He began to discover an addiction to gambling and within the year entered into a long-standing deal with the intriguing woman; In exchange for several severe debts - including for his life several times over due to deals gone bad - credits, friendship and a clean slate within [[Liberty]], he agreed to a falsified marriage as his way of repaying the woman who had enabled him to find himself. Truly, inspired by her resoluteness and strict sense of morality, he returned to [[Bretonia]] and turned himself in to the [[Bretonia Police Authority]].

| |
| − | His revived sense of duty and forwardness served in his favor during his inevitable court-martial, as did the circumstances of his mothers' death, reducing his sentence to eighteen months incarceration and suspension of his pilots' license for his dereliction of duty. Emerging free in 819 [[AS]], he was unopposed when registering for a new license and papers listing him as a Freelancer. While his ex-[[Bretonian Armed Forces | BAF]] record doesn't earn any favor with official corporations, independent parties generally accept it as a sign of experience and prowess. Through [[Jessica White]] he maintains a connection to an underworld of criminal activity, spurring him to accept work for either side of the law as opportunities present themselves.
