Alex Daniels, better known as "Speedy" to his friends. He was of bretonian origins. Born at planet Cambridge, raised by his mother whom teached at a university. His father was a outlaw who was belived to have high ranked contacts with the Mollys and Outcasts.
Alex's life was usually a peacful one, but then came the day where his world ended. His mother had gone on a espedition with her students when a corsair raiding party had attacked and boarded her ship. She had been raped multiple times before they tied a rope to her legs and pushed her out of the shuttle's airlock.
Alex was devastated. He got blinded by rage and seeked out his father whom might help him gain revenge. His father, Kurt Daniels, was crushed when he heard the news about his wife. She had been his only light in this dark and gloomy world. He wanted revenge, and by pulling all the strings he had, and bribing many a official he got the information he needed.
The corsair had been a looner at the point of the attack, but was now said to be part of a crime family, possibly the Benitez family.
Alex, who had turned 17 just a month earlier, begged his father to teach him how to fly. Kurt denied at first, but when he saw the eyes of his son he just couldn't help it.
At first Alex was using Molly Flight simulators, but then he got too good for them. Alex was promised to get better teachers, but he would have to wait as they were coming for far far away.
Alex waited, and waited, untill suddenly when a group of strange, spanish talking men approached him. They were all wearing funny masks.
One of them handed him a key and a flashdrive, not much unlike the ones in the simulators the molly's used, but this one seemed way more advanced.
One of the men pointed at Alex and signaled him to follow. Alex did as the man wanted and followed him to the hangar.
In the hangar there was nothing but one ship and the baydoors were completely open, but they were leading into a ship.
Alex wondered what kind of ship could be this large as it was dwarfing the huge Molly Destroyer.
His questiones was answered shortly when his father came out from the other ship. He told him that this would be his ship, and if he needed anything these men would provide it.
Alex was a bit unwilling to trust these people just like this, and he had still not gotten a answer on what kind of ship they had arrived in. Alex decided he'd ask one of them, but none of them seemed to understand his accent or language. He asked his father, but he only said it was one of their warships...
Days passed and Alex was getting better with this new simulator. He still lacked some speed, but he was above the expected average wich was good enough for the foreingers to let him fly the ship they brought.
The ship, a Series Z "Sabre" Border Worlds VHF, was truly a remarkable ship. Small, light yet immensly powerful. This ship should be able to take on any enemy.
To begin with the mollys gave him 4 Dublin Dusters MK IV and 2 Cannonball missiles. Alex thanked them with all his heart and undocked. Upon launching to space he saw the Outcast ship. A huge ship, enormous. His scanners told him it was a "sarissa" class battleship. He swallowed hard as just the precense of this ship was more intimidating then any number of fighters.
3 days have passed since Alex left the molly destroyer. He had traveled far and wide in search of the corsair that killed his mother. He took refuge at Freeport 5 as a ionstorm was expected to hit that region within a matter of hours.
At the freeport Alex met another man, he seemed tired and had a scar on his neck. Alex asked for his name, but all he replied was "Dodge". . . Alex got curious, and tried to ask about the mans job, but again he replied shortly "killing those i can't stand"...
Alex continued to ask him questions, and slowly he brightend up and talked a bit more.
His name was Santario Sanchez, also known as "Dodge" among the underground. He was a bounty hunter seeking to destroy all Outcast and Corsair living within the Sirius system.
Alex said he was looking for a particulary corsair. "Dodge" got a nasty grin, asking sharply about his buisniss with this corsair.
"He raped and killed my mother. Now i shall kill him" Alex replied. Dodge's lit up in a nasty and mean looking grin. "I will help you" he said before leaving Alex alone.
Alex and Dodge found the corsair some days later. Dodge seemed to have a impressive network of contacts, and Alex was eager to test his skills. Dodge on the other hand told him that the weapons he carried would barely scratch the paint of the corsair ship. So just like that Alex's sabre was refitted with 5 Buckshots and a Sidewinder missile.
Then they day arrived. Alex and Dodge had followed the corsair and had disabled his cruise engines in a nebulae. The elektromagnetic fields made it impossible to radio for backup. The corsair laughted when he heard why they had stopped him, and Alex's anger blinded him. Within mere seconds he had evaporated every bit of the corsairs ship and equipment. All that was left was the Escape pod.
Without hesitation Alex placed a round into the side of it, looking at his enemy slowly freezing and asphyxiating to death. A twisted expression of suprise and anguish shot over the face of the corsair before his body turned into a recognizable slug as the body fluids rapidly boiled and froze due to the sudden pressure difference.
Soon the rumors about his lightning-fast kill spread and he was given the nickname; speedy
