Further Data: Julio Perez, the second son of the Perez familia of Astraios and younger brother to Hernan Perez, grew up near the bustling Astraios spaceport. The brothers spent much of their youth mingling with transport crews, absorbing stories of distant expeditions and harrowing smuggling runs. Frequent street fights with local youths were a rite of passage, and while Hernan was calm and calculating, Julio’s fiery, lightning-fast reflexes made him stand out. He earned the nickname "Serpiente" after biting an adversary’s arm during a fight, securing a swift and decisive victory.
While Hernan followed the family path and joined the crew of their merchant galley Regalito, destined for command one day, Julio chose a warrior’s life. He enrolled at the Academia del Perdido, where he trained in piloting the Gladiator and studied tirelessly for a gunboat captain’s certificate. Though strategic thinking wasn’t his strong suit, his magnetic leadership and infectious energy allowed him to rally any crew. He eventually earned his certificate but left the academy burdened with debt and too young and inexperienced for Brotherhood service.
Forced to return to the Regalito, Julio joined Hernan’s smuggling crew, running artifacts far beyond Corsair borders. While Hernan excelled at navigation and command, Julio’s charm and negotiation skills soon outpaced his older brother’s. Within a short time, he cleared his debts and turned a tidy profit.
During the Canaria Crisis, the Perez brothers put their skills to work for the Brotherhood, running critical missions during Operation Atlas, smuggling troops and military hardware behind enemy lines. Their high mission success rate drew the attention of Bablo Ximanez, one of the Corsair Brotherhood’s most powerful men. After the fall of Gran Canaria, Hernan returned to his artifact trade, but Julio accepted Ximanez’s offer to join his inner circle.
Julio, now known as Serpiente across Corsair space, earned a reputation for his ruthless efficiency, creative problem solving, and unflinching loyalty. He carries out even the dirtiest jobs with a grin that never fades, even in the tensest of moments.
Today, Julio Perez serves as a special operative with the Centurion rank and works as an enforcer under Bablo Ximanez’s direct command. Whether working solo or commandeering a transport from Ximanez’s fleet, he handles anything from negotiation to intimidation and liquidation. While Bablo Ximanez is a man who prefers to keep his hands clean, Serpiente thrives on getting his dirty.
