Eugene Debs was a gallant man. Studious, immaculate, cunning, daring. A flair for the dramatic over a rather rough exterior and 'peasant' clothes made the man an oddity, especially striding the corridors of that obsidian shard of a base, Buffalo. He was a man that inspired confidence among a certain sort, but sadly for Mr. Debs that sort was notably lacking among the Liberty Rogues, of which he was a member. He coined himself a "gentleman of the lanes", a 9th century AS highwayman.

Those who were inclined to his course of robbing commerce ships blind without firing a shot (what Debs called a "civilized piracy") unless absolutely necessary flocked to him. Amongst the brutish Rogues, his crew numbered about fifteen, all loyal to their captain to the death.

Aboard the Rogue Gunboat La Villa Strangiato, they became a well-known pirate ship that traders didn't fear for his unusual and astute manners.
