Backstory: • Raised on a backwater colony constantly raided by pirates and syndicates • Joined the Galactic Fleet young, known for sharp strategy and risk-taking • Became captain of the Horizon’s Edge—a respected but tight-knit warship crew • A mission went wrong: his ship was ambushed, most of his crew died under his command • Overwhelmed by guilt, he left the Fleet and disappeared into freelance life • Salvaged and rebuilt a freighter, the Stormbreaker, now his ship and home • Works jobs that toe the line between legal and outlaw, trying to avoid attachments—but trouble finds him

Goal: Stay alive, stay free, and never lose a crew again. Even if that means pretending he doesn’t care.
