Character background:
A veteran of the Bretonian Armed Forces auxiliary trade fleet; Byron spent much of his career shipping parts and supplies to Armed Forces bases throughout Bretonia and the Taus. When the war with Gallia broke out he was reassigned to the HMS McGovern and promoted to Quartermaster. The McGovern was tasked with supplying forward bases in Leeds, Newcastle and Dundee for the opening years of the conflict. After three years of service on the McGovern the existing captain was promoted out of his station which was then filled by Rees upon recommendation of his peers.
Some time in the following weeks proceeding Rees' promotion the McGovern was ambushed by mollies in the Dublin system and driven into Edinburgh. The McGovern was met by an overwhelming gallic force and suffered severe damages to her aft quarters and was disabled. The vessel and it's crew were later towed safety by a passing Gateway patrol commissioned to supply the terraforming operation on Ayr.
Upon arrival in dry dock the McGovern was deemed damaged beyond repair and it's entirety is to be scrapped for parts. The crew were offered an early discharge in light of the enourmous financial strains on the regiment. Some have been reallocated to various postings throughout the Bretonian fleets, though most have accepted the offer and sought out work in corporate aerospace.
Motivation for joining Gateway:
My military career is over. I've got a good set of skills useful to any corporation. I'm good at what I do, and i'm not ready to put that to rest yet. Gateway did me a solid by rescuing me and the lads from the freezer, we're looking to return the favour.
