A childhood spent in the scrapyards of the Xbaquitae mining system, he watched the pilots in the cantina and thought that one day he would join the ranks of the Pilots Federation. His first job was running cargo out of Lidpar for the Bubble Collective when his future partner and mentor suggested he run a more sinister and forbidden cargo inside the various crates of chemicals and frameshift drive parts...
Smuggling wasn't a path he thought he would choose but the money was good and the risk was low, the majority of his clients were middlemen for the many system based factions vying for market control in their respective outposts and as such wished for a swift and hassle-free transaction. But such ventures are bound to come unstuck at some time so it was to be for this one, a routine drop to 63 Chi Leonis turned into a nightmare when pirates, no doubt tipped off by an insider, pulled the Python out of supercruise 157k l/s away from their destination. A tactical move, guaranteeing them the maximum amount of time to strip the ship of it's illicit cargo before system sec arrived. The python was armed but with all the internals full of cargo, a firefight against a wing of 7 would be suicide so a decision was made to try outrun them before the hatch breaker limpets and their plasma cutters began their devious work on the ships hull.
