//oops, my bad, kinda thought it has to be very short. Let me think of something... Not useful, but long and poetical anyway. Plus, the Jumper quote is copied, not written.

Uh-oh, There is a large part of the text missing. Well, nevermind, i'll just resend...

Name: Constantine Elias, formerly Charles Trotter
Location: Planet Malta
Birthplace: Bethlehem Station, Pennsylvania system

His parents, a paranoid Hacker and a peaceful Zoner trader were never going to be "happy forever after", but they still managed to be together happily for a couple of years. Charles Trotter (was changed to Constantine Elias at age 4) was a very normal kid, social, had no trouble learning to speak, read, walk, etc.. He lived with his mother, while his father came home very late, and staid there for two hours tops. Since Charles was addicted to Cardamine since he was born, only he required much smaller doses, his father had to visit him on a regular basis, noone knows what would happen if Charles' mother would be found guilty of illegal drug possession, so they never kept more then 2 doses at home. When Charles had just become 4 years old, something happened to his father, He kept repeating to Charles' mother that they had to leave Liberty, but she never listened, stating that she will not leave her home based on some "hunch", and so will not Charles. But Charles' father did not let go of the idea... One night Charles was stolen, Police never found any proof that it was Charles' father, since there was not even a file about him in the Liberty Criminal Database, nobody was sure of his real name, and every security camera that could've seen him at that night, was switched off for some mysterious reason. What the police did find were security camera footage of Charles' mother giving her son Cardamine on a regular basis, so she was sentenced 20 years in prison. Two months after the trial, she was found in her cell having commited suicide... Charles with his father were already too far from Liberty to find out about it, plus the media never wrote anything too. Charles' father took Charles to Cali base, where he had a small place to live, changed Charles' name to Constantine, but he had to change the surname too, so he decided to give Constantine his own surname, which he had not told anyone before. Constantine was too young for completely understanding, what was going on, plus he was told this was just for a while, and that he was going to see mommy again, but he did not... While other kids his age were playing with dolls and small Starflier figures, Constantine was being taught how to position himself in a joust, using small Dagger models. At age 10, he had already been taught all the primary controls in a Sabre cockpit, and could dock and undock a base. Two years later, Constantine's father did not come home as usual. For what a Smuggler said, his ship was floating in space with everything on, but without any sign of the pilot, and 10K further ahead, he saw a Colonial patrol heading the Sabre's way. The smuggler thought it had been just a trap, but turns out Constantine's father had a heart attack, plus the Colonials found the ship, suspected a trap too, so they blew the ship up (just to be sure), since they did not see anyone ejecting from the ship, they thought it was empty. For quite some time, Constantine was lost, he overdosed Cardamine a couple of times, but was revived. The cali bartender, who had known Constantine's father, could not stand looking at Constantine wasting his potential in getting high, so he once walked up to Constantine, and gave him a key to a ship, saying that he was supposed to give Constantine the key when he was 16, but he thought Constantine was ready. The ship was a brand new Stiletto, properly outfitted, but with a layer of dust on top of it. Constantine spent all his time in the Stiletto, practicing on it, even though he could barely reach the controls of the ship. At age 16, he began to go on patrols along with much more experienced pilots. At age 20 his kill count hit 100, but Constantine got too confident with himself, and went up against an IMG Gunboat in Tau 37 alone, which destroyed Constantine's stiletto in a fight that lasted 30 minutes. Luckily, Constantine's escape pod was taken to Malta by a fighter wing that was nearby. His confidence was crushed, but he decided not to give up, and started looking for a way to get back in space. Various smugglers and [XTF] members offered him the pilot's seat in one of their ships, but, as much he did not like to admit that, only one group could fully satisfy Constantines needs, the best of them all, The Ghosts of Razgriz... He just had to find them and hope that he had what it takes to be one of them...

//i know it's cheesy, but at least it's a story:)
