CMDR Fenless is a young and inexperienced pilot. When not working on salvage expeditions in the outer rims of the Bubble he can often be seen flying on patrol or escort operations as a reserve fighter pilot for Alliance factions. Although he has seen very little combat.

Before obtaining his official Pilot's Federation credentials Fenless had been a lifelong spacer, where he lived between apartments in Azeban City and Chango Dock. Supported by his older and successful sister, Liz Fenless, a prominent journalist in the Eranin system.
