[color=#66FFFF]Before that war started, everyone looked at Russell with petty eyes.Always thought ''He is so pathetic! He is a loser! He can't do a damn thing!'' Of course, Russell was, at first, discouraged by many people.He was actually trying to have a good life in Liberty, but his mistakes just literally drags him to a black hole.

He had some friends, yes.Some people he could actually call 'friends'.One of them were Byos.His childhood friend.Him and Russell grew in California System together.Both of them were born in California Minor, anyway.When they were teens, they had dreams, like everyone else.Byos always saying that he could be the captain of a huge ship and order people to shoot things! That was his whole time dream.Russell was a lot different from him.He liked money so much.He always wanted to make more money with trading.

Russell's father was a trader too.He rose Russell alone, since her mother was killed in a battle by Rheinland Navy.Russell was a cold person.He didn't even try tried to remember his mother in his childhood.When he turned 18, he started to live apart from Byos, since Byos had his parents and they were thinking something else for him.For Russell, he just followed in his father's footsteps.When the farewell time came, he started to live away from his father as well, so he moved out to Pennsylvania.Unfortunately, in his first few years, he messed up again.Yet again, he disappointed his father and his distant friends...

Between 18 and 21, he lived as a poor guy.For once, he even considered to use strange drugs, but a mysterious guy he is still trying to find, helped this young man.Not only he helped him, he also welcomed him to a place he owns.A kind of tavern.Russell was still curious about that man, but he had no memory of that part of his past.When he hit 22, the mysterious man gave him enough items and credits to buy back a small ship to be able to get on his ship.

Again, in two years, he succeeded.This time, he really succeeded in making a good job.He gathered up some more money to finally create his career.But a reunion was in the priority.After all these years, he stumbled upon his old friend, his oldest friend Byos again.He almost squealed like a girl when he saw him.Nothing could make him happier this time.A decent job, seeing his old friend again... he thought he was living the dream there.He asked Byos what is he doing in Pennsylvania.Byos told him he was able to sign up to LSF.He was a skilled pilot, after all.They gave him a chance in that young age.

Russell was an honest guy towards Byos, and he did told him what he had been through when he got here.He was amazed by the story, and decided to stay with Russell for a week.Then, he had to go back into patrolling again.They traveled along the Pennsylvania a lot, but they eventually got back to Erile every time.They had a lot fun together, just like in the old days.When the time of farewell finally came once again, Russell.... this time, he couldn't hold back his tears.After all these years, he was successful.His only wish was his father and..... her mother to see it.But a year ago, when he got some reports from his father, he learned he went M.I.A in a Sigma System.He just told Byos to go, and gave himself some time to think about all of it.

Years passed quickly for Russell, as if they were a blink of an eye to him.When he spent most of his time on Penn, he couldn't just call himself 'Rich'.He had experienced so many robberies and taxes.In his 30s, he was just standing still with the same money he was earning.He continued to work in Erile for now... but what else he could encounter or experience? He just waited in his ship.... and waited for the unforeseen consequences.
