"Sure, you could say that I'm a FORMER purveyor of questionable wares"

Born on Babcock Station, in the LHS 3447 system, Ale-Beards parent's vanished under suspicious circumstances, authorities suspected the Cydarian cartel of playing a part in their disappearance due to his mothers connections with Eravate Dream-Flower farmers but all investigations were abruptly dropped when Galnet reporters began questioning local corporations.

Not much is known of Ale-Beards early life.... in 3265 at the age of 14, he severed all connections to family, friends and possessions after stealing a Commanders Cobra MkIII during an alcohol fueled altercation at his outfitting workplace.

Ale-Beard states that a number of years in "less favourable communities" has left him seeking a life with structure... "Too many days have been spent causing suffering & too many nights have been spent cowering in craters, cold, alone and out of beer".
