Born to miners in the Merope system, Marcos dreamed of exploring this vast galaxy and of a world where our labor belonged to us, and not the owning class. Marcos left home to join the pilots guild, and was given the opportunity to not only study the science of galactic history, but to see firsthand that the poverty and exploitation he was born into was a common condition of all the laboring classes in the galaxy. After making enough money from surveying to buy a few good ships, Marcos joined the Interstellar Communist Revolution, devoting his skills as a pilot to the liberation of all laboring classes in the galaxy.
