Hey, at the age of fifteen you do know a few things. Yeah! like my mom's bad habits, we'll start there. I don't really get why, but ever since I can remember I've always felt this hunger within me. N' she never told me what it was. Now I know, of course, but how she kept her use, and everyone else's, hidden from me til the age of twelve still, remains a mystery. I guess she was trying to protect me from it, but now I see her reasoning and her wrong... She couldn't protect me from something that was already part of her, rest her soul. Not the craving, not the distant relation to some war hero a few thousand years ago she told me about once. She says I'm named after him, cause he stood up for these guys called "mestizos..." Probably a lie, I'll never know...
Wasn't till thirteen that I actually got my hands on the stuff I always needed. But I'm not like all the others, I'm smart. I hid it all away in the sewers and saved it up so I could have the first time of my life.
I eventually did have that time, and I blew up a Corsair Cruiser with it in a Crow I stole. Then I understood... amidst the euphoria of fighting or the blessed powder, the blindness I had... the God who Mama told me about meant nothing. I threw it all down for something else, something worthy to be followed... I'd found a new god by then.
Here I stumble across the Syndicate, and I figure, I'm smart, so I'll fit right in. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I can't fight! I swear to you and to my god... I will spread Its word!
