Davinci X was born in 3269 to Artemisia da Vinci, a doctor who was one of a number who decided to flee the Jotun system after the Thargoid attack of 3255 on Fafner and is rumored to be a a descendant of the Da Vinci's of Leonardo fame from the Republic of Florence, Italy circa 15th century Earth in the Sol system. In 3270, just a year after his birth, mother left "D" in the care of a mercenary and trader named Faye as she struck out to find and locate his father and the rest of their family.

Artemisia promised she would return a year to the day, but shortly after, Faye lost contact and her whereabouts are unknown.

"D" grew up on a heavily modified Anaconda called the Falco Notturno with Faye, which he looked as his home, that and the outposts and stations that he and Faye would frequent for business opportunities.

As the years and light years went by, "D," although he looked up to Valentine like a mother, she was the only caregiver he had known, and was fond of their adventures together, grew restless. He wanted to find out what happened to his mother, his father, his family. Were any of them still alive? Despite these feelings, he stayed loyally by Faye's side as if he was endentured to her for raising him. Until...

On his 35th birthday, Valentine dropped a bombshell on "D" and said his mother and father were part of a organization called The Club and that they were part of Project Dynasty exploration team aboard one of a number of heavily modified Anacondas, very similar to the Falco Notturno, that were to chart Earth-like worlds beyond the Core Systems in the Formidine Rift, Hawking's Gap, and the Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux along with the megaship, The Zurara. It is believed all hands were lost on both The Zurara and those Anacondas due to sabatoge per the research and efforts of independent pilot Rebecca who discovered the derelict megaship in Syreadiae JX-F c0 in 3273.

"D" asked Faye if she was also a member of The Club, but she did not answer an affirmative "yes" to his question only responding that he was to keep what she told to himself and to never speak of it again. While Faye urged "D" to stay aboard the Falco Notturno and tried to reason with him that she doubts either his mother or father survived Project Dynasty, she could see by the look in his eyes that here pleas were in vain.

So with that and using her connections, Valentine was able to get Davinci into the Pilot Federation training academy and program. While "D" had been Valentine's "co-pilot" since he could reach the controls of the Anaconda and had logged many light years behind the stick, he did not officially have his wings. With that experience, "D" flew through the training program, graduating and earning his wings in two short years in 3306.

Just a few short weeks out of the Pilot Federation system, with credits from his adventures mining platinum and running trade goods from one station and outpost to the next burning a hole in his pocket. Davinci bought a couple of brand new Asp Explorer from Lakon Spaceways naming one the Il Vespucci after the famous Italian explorer from Earth's 15th-Century and the other the Vela Errante (Wandering Sail).

In 3307, after engineering the Vela Errante for long range exploration, "D" headed out into The Black towards the Formidine Rift and Syreadiae JX-F c0, but just a few days later, all contact with Davinci was lost around system HIP 5117.

Now, 2 years later, Davinci X has returned from The Black.
