Background:

• Mining's hard, dangerous work - the toughest job in the galaxy, you figure. The hours are long, the working conditions terrible; chances are, you'll wind up crippled or dead before your time is due.

But it's all you've ever known. Your family has always worked the deepmines. Your mother was killed in a decompression accident in the south mines shortly after you were born; your grandfather died of the wetlung at the age of 32; your father at 36. But it's the only life you know. When the Offworlders - the Empire, that is - took over, things got even worse. They cut your pay and worked you even harder; they killed you if you gave them any lip. All of the gains the miners had made over the years - the union, the better working conditions, the danger pay - were washed away when the first Imperial ship landed. Everyone knew the south mines were unsafe: they had been closed for years, ever since the accident which killed your mother. But the Offworlders forced them opened again, forced you and your fellows to work there. It was only luck, pure, blind luck, that the water seal blew while you were off-shift. Fifty-seven of your brothers weren't so lucky. That's when you said "enough". That's when you decided that those murderers weren't fit to live. You and your brothers chased them off this planet; you'll not stop until they're erased from the galaxy.

Personality:

• Bitter, silent, consumed with hatred for the Empire, you have great loyalty to those you work with (though you can never express it with words). You don't shirk from hard work or danger, and you never give up.

Your one weakness is for drink: you go without for months, then, for no reason, you may go on a heroic binge which lasts for days. You're a mean drunk.

Connection With Other Characters:

• You might have met the Hustler in jail after one of your binges; you might have trained an Offworlder in deepmining techniques.
