The Henderson Clan
Jack is the youngest child of the Henderson family. His older siblings are Sean and Julia. The Hendersons are part New Londoners, part Dubliners and they are Royal Bretonians, proud of their House and their Queen. The Dublin branch is more practical and mainly works in the mining industry while the New London branch is more intellectual and is set firmly in middle management positions across Bretonian corporations. All the Henderson children had a decent education in New London which was paid for by the family clan with the aim to enable them to find employment with some of the major Bretonian companies.
A well-intended parental plan that should not work out for Jack.
Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing
Jack enlisted with BMM after the completion of his education and started as a medium management coordinator for mining and hauling. After some years and some econimically harmful business decisions the corporation decided it might suit the young man better to be out there and do some real work, so they gave him command of BMM hauling assets and assigned him logistic missions. Jack hated the boredom and routine of the job as well as the strict Rules of Engagement which ordered him to stand down in almost all situations in which his ideals would have pushed him to act.
Trouble came when BMM supervisors found out that Jack had intentionally changed hauling routes repeatedly and that he had participated in unauthorized conflicts while on assignments. In one of the incidents a Molly vessel was destroyed and Jack's hauler severely damaged while defending an independent miner. The incident was labelled a "non-authorized intervention on behalf of a non-BMM asset".
Jack took his leave faster than his supervisors could fire him and found it hard to find his way as a Royal and proud Bretonian that is forced to work in the mining sector but outside of BMM. Jack decided not to return into a Bretonian company (which would have been almost impossible) after leaving BMM hastily.
Risk & Success Security Company
He founded the "Risk and Success" Security Company together with his former BMM mate Jonathan Myamat who had also resigned. Together they offered Security services in the Dublin area for independent miners who were not protected by the power of the Bretonian corporations and prey for everybody with enough power. The Dublin family ties helped to avoid causing too much trouble with the Mollys, the New London influence was conducive to the understanding with BAF operating in the area. So the company carved out a small private segment in the Security service sector in wild Dublin.
Soon Jack realized that the job could earn him quite some money but that it would likely claim his life in the long run. After his ship was badly damaged in a completely unforeseen and unavoidable Dublin incident and after he suffered serious abdominal and facial burns in a maximum risk evasive maneuver into the Dublin sun corona in just 2 days, he decided that this job was not worth his life.
After having recovered from the burns and after having had several operations in New London to restore his outward appearance, he applied for a job with the Independent Miners Guild.
The Independent Miners Guild
His application was accepted and he chose to work as a Defence Wing pilot, doing basically everything he had already done before as "Risk & Success" but this time he knew that he wasn't out there on his own but that he could rely on the Guild's ressources in times of trouble. And trouble there was a lot.
Jack got briefly involved in the Tau 23 fights between Outcast fleets, IMG and Colonial Remnants, but realized that war was not what he was made for. He had some narrow escapes and his ships were wrecked repeatedly in a conflict that he regards as already lost. So he asked to be assigned to the stagnating Dublin operations, which the IMG granted him.
Working in Dublin for the IMG
Jack is now one of the very few IMG pilots assigned to the IMG Dublin operations on a permanent basis and he loves the job as much as he loves Dublin. He can be found on a daily basis in his office on board of the Battleship Hood, or on patrols throughout the Dublin system. Meanwhile he has managed to establish or renew good relations with many of the factions present in Dublin (except BMM) and knows many Dubliners, pleasant people as well as unscrupulous troublemakers.
His aim is to keep the small amount of IMG mining operations safe and to slowly expand IMG efforts in Dublin by providing a safe environment and a good infrastructure for mining operations. He hopes that miners will choose to relocate to Dublin once his task is finished and most of the problems are under control, which is still a very long way to go.
