As a young boy Ferdinand joined a group of neighborhood children. They gave him a new name - Teek'an - and clan tattoos made with permanent marker. Much later in Serre and other systems a rebellion broke out. The clan enlisted themselves in the rebel army and formed a battalion of 15 - 17 yo boys. Unfortunately their first mission was betrayed. When they arrived at the designated place the enemies were waiting for them. Whole battalion was destroyed and most of its members died. Teek'an and three other boys survived, but with great injuries and without companions they couldn't continue fighting. They were sent to Pilots Federation where they were admitted to political asylum. After several years Teek'an decided to leave safe and friendly systems and try his luck in pilots job. Now he lives in Maskelyne Vision among The Winged Hussars and bravely flies into deeps of space.
