Born somewhere win Lave, he spent most of his childhood and early adulthood working with different smugglers, pirates, and other unsavoury elements to make ends meet. A wealthy benefactor took him to the pilots federation district when he was around eighteen, giving him an opportunity of a lifetime. He signed up for a license and spent years training. Once he got his first ship, the benefactor had disappeared and he was still broke, could barely pay for fuel and maintenance on his new sidewinder, and let alone pay for food. Unwilling to go back into the world of smuggling and piracy, he took up a few bounty hunting jobs and worked his way up to a Fer-De-Lance, having gained quite an extensive reputation for his refusal to give allegiance to any superpower, making him perfect for any bounty hunting opportunities. He got numerous contracts from many wealthy and influential people.
