Born the son of a farmer on the moon of Chione in the Prism system, Lupo was unfortunate enough to inherit his father's extensive gambling debts after said parent met his end in a cantina brawl. With no way of paying the debts Lupo found himself an Imperial Slave, toiling in the tantalum mines of Chione. That was until the ruling Senator Loren was overthrown in 3300. Lupo did things he'd rather not talk about in the ensuing chaos in order to survive the brief the bloody conflict that followed. He fled the moon as a passenger aboard an independent Commander's Cobra, passage bought with the contents of a patrician's cellar that he took shelter in when the capital city was being bombarded. Wether the Patrician owner of the Lavian brandy in the cellar had fled the city during the initial revolt or been killed Lupo doesn't know. Or care particularly care. When the Cobra commander sold the goods at Astellus Primus he was kind enough to give Lupo a share. He bought a Sidewinder.
