➳ What's their backstory?
- Maxwell was born in a shady backwater colony, he was a second youngest of six children and worked since he was very young in and out of mines and repair shops in an effort to help his family pay the bills. He left home when he was fourteen and got a job salvaging scrap that drifted around space. When he was twenty five he met his future wife in a bar while on R&R, quit his job and went to work with her father as a clerk in his accounting firm. They had two children and he was happy.
That is to say, that was the story he told his wife and her father whenever they asked. The truth of the matter was a little darker, and certainly painted him as more than a simple scrapper. He was born in a backwater but he was an only child, his father was a miner and every night he would come home drink until he saw red and then beat the life out of his mother who did he best to keep him hidden. It hardly mattered; nothing could stop his father if provoked. One day, when Maxwell was twelve, his father brought home a rivet gun, it was a particularly ill thought out plan on his father's part but incredibly fortuitous for Maxwell. When his father had drunken himself into a stupor Maxwell took the gun, dragged it across the room to where his father had passed out and pressed it to his temple. His mother found him hours later, sat staring into a furnace, blood all over and a sickening stench of burning flesh in the air. Neither of them ever spoke about the incident ever again.
With his father out of the picture his mother had had to turn to alternate means of supporting them. She sold herself and became addicted some kind of mind altering drugs, by the time he had realised what was happening it was already much too late and the woman was too sick for treatment. The day she died he left home, but not before taking his rivet gun and burning down the whore house she had sold herself to, shooting anyone who ran. After that he drifted for time, without a place to call home, references or money he quickly found himself homeless and penniless. To get by he worked a deck hand on a planetary cruiser, it was hard work but he got to see exotic locations and meet new and exciting people.
He was working in the engines during one particular trip when suddenly the ship was attacked; pirates boarded and took the ship hostage. Maxwell picked up his modified rivet gun and seeing a brand new opportunity present itself, asked the captain of the pirates if he could join their crew. Intrigued the man agreed. Maxwell excelled as a pirate, he could take orders, fight and didn’t complain no matter how bad the situation got. It wasn’t long before he stuck out on his own; he recruited his own crew and ran his ship like clockwork. He hit hard and fast and built a reputation as one of the most dangerous free men, unaffiliated with any one faction and constantly clashing with the law for his deeds.
Then came that fateful day when he met his future wife, he had been on rest with his crew. She had been shopping when a thief had targeted her, Maxwell had intervened and the rest was history. They got married and Maxwell gave up his infamy for an easy life. He used the age old tale of how his grandparents had left him a lot of money to explain most of his ill-gotten gains and went to work for her father when it became apparent that that wasn’t sustainable.
➳ Anything else we need to know?
- Recently he received an anonymous letter detailing of his darker past, the blackmailer was asking for a serious amount of money to keep quiet about everything.
