Born on Sol, he was fed up with Earth. Nothing was right anymore, the world was rife with sin, debauchery & fraud. You couldn't even trust elections anymore...it didn't matter, they installed who they wanted. Tired of life as we know it, Bandt stowed away on a freighter and made it off planet, not having anyone to leave behind. Upon being discovered, instead of jettisoning him into space, the captain of the vessel put him to work in the mechanic's bays, to earn his right to be there. After years of working on jet engines, he wanted to actually fly his own ship. With the monies he earned over the years, he procured a Sidewinder and went off on his own. After thousands of hours, wandering through space, he decided to travel to Colonia in his DBX @ 40 lys/jump...exhausted and despairing halfway there, he got an incoming message from a FC Capt. named Coyote who offered sanctuary on her Carrier and adopted him into her haram of wayward commanders. The rest, is history...
