Background

---

Ezequiel Vid was born on 30th of November 811 A.S on Freeport 11. His parents, Michael and Anna Vid, were both running their own small but profitable mining business. The main material they were dealing with was Iridium. Due to its rarity and the only known abundant source was Omicron Delta, right where their home was, proved to be the right commodity to exploit. Everything was great for the Vid's and three years after they started the business, Ezequiel was born.

From an early age, Ezequiel started having an interest in the family business. His father was so proud when he saw his son's interest and made him run errands around Freeport so he could earn his first credits and learn how not to rely on his family's money. Doing so, Ezequiel started meeting new people, making good friends and even falling in love with a girl for the first time. When he got a bit older, his father slowly began to step aside from leading the business and let his son take it over.

By the time Ezequiel was 20, he was already running the family business and having a happy relationship with the girl he fell in love years ago. Until then he had never left the station so one day he asked his father to take him where Iridium was mined so he could see how this process was done. He got on the family ship along with his father, entered the cockpit, and sat on the co-pilot's seat. His heart started pounding hard when the airlock doors slowly opened. The ship undocked from Freeport and there he was for the very first time in space. Nothing could describe how he was feeling seeing the vastness of space. Michael took his son to the mining spot where there were already several ships gathering the ore. There, Ezequiel learned about mining equipment, how to extract ore from rocks, and how dangerous this is. On the way back, while he was gazing through the cockpit's window he saw something in the distance. It was a blue-shaped ship like nothing he had ever seen before, but it was gone before he could blink. He checked the radar but it was nothing so he thought it was just some kind of reflection after all.

First encounter

---

Six months after his space travel, Ezequiel got a pilot license. He spent many hours in the simulator just to be sure he would not fail the license test. At that moment all he wanted was to be out there. He was home celebrating when a message came in. The mining equipment of one's ship working for him broke down and Ezequiel had to go there and assess the situation. Ten minutes later he got on his ship, departed the station, and set route to the mining place. Halfway there the ship's electronics started acting weird, like there was some radiation or electromagnetic interference. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a blue organic thing appeared. He started hearing things and felt like his mind was invaded, but he couldn't explain what was happening. Ezequiel tried to run away from the alien with no success and eventually, he passed out. Three days later he woke up in the medical quarters of Freeport 11 not knowing what happened or how he got there. His mind was a complete mess. It took days for Ezequiel to finally leave that quarters due to being too scared. He packed some of his stuff and left his home without looking back, promising never to come there again.

New Life

---

While trying to find a place to settle down, Ezequiel did some research on the blue aliens and found out that they were a threat to Sirius. While doing some more digging he found a group of extremists called Furyan monks who were trying to make people aware of the Nomad threat and unite, either by force or peace, all houses against a bigger threat than themselves. Ezequiel reached out to them and joined their ranks. He was given the name Vennamis and soon starting spread their word and annihilate those who were not listening. During his time among Fury, Ezequiel changed a lot from a scared boy to became skilled bomber pilot making havoc among those who didn't want to listen about the danger Sirius was in.

Second encounter

---

One day he received a task to investigate some nomad sightings in the Omicron Delta, the place he swore he would never visit again. He broke that promise and went there to see what was going on. Seven hours were spent scanning the system but nothing showed up. Right when he was about to leave, again, out of nowhere the blue thing appeared. Ezequiel remembered what happened the first time and froze not knowing what to do. He started feeling again like someone else was in his mind. Flashing images Ezequiel began to see right in front of his eyes. It was like the alien was trying to show him something. He tried to resist but with no success. After a while, the images started to fade slowly as Ezequiel was closing his eyes and losing consciousness.

Another perspective

---

Two weeks have passed since the Delta incident and Ezequiel was now on Planet Malta in the Omicron Alpha system. He had another perspective on life now. The alien made him think that Nomads aren't the greatest enemy of Sirius and it's our fault that they are angry with us. He started being interested in them and regretting all these years spent with Fury, he made things worse than they were, left their ranks, and hid right in the Outcasts home world afraid that the monks would come looking for him. He used some of his contacts to see if the brothers were looking for him, but it was like all Fury members vanished.

While hiding on the planet, Ezequiel heard about a group called Commune that saw these aliens as "The Light". He gathered some INTEL about them and realized that joining them might help redeem himself and get closer to these so-called Nomads. Using his last money, Ezequiel bribed people around to get in touch with the Overlord of the Commune. He got accepted into their ranks and now Ezequiel serves as a Commune member.
