He is an explorer first, but one who is always drawn back to the bubble and drawn to find a way to make a difference. He is a loner first but is drawn to find companions because he understands the value of combined efforts to complete a task.
He is a spacer. He was born on a freighter and spent his whole life on long haul freighters.
He was in his late 20's when the captain of his current ship died and left him a few credits and the deed to a sidewinder.
He spent the next few years in deep space wandering, exploring, and searching. Not just for new planets and new star, but also for himself.

Fast forward to today and he finds himself an accomplished explorer who has the means to make a difference in the galaxy. He is looking for a new family.
