El Caminante

[El Caminante]

I am El Caminante, Corsair. I'm a wanderer between the stars. My true name as well as my age are unimportant.

I don't know anything about my parents or when i was born. I was adopted by a small, hard working farmer family on Crete, when i was a babychild. Eventhough not an easy life, my childhood was a happy time for me, but i had to learn the very restrictive hierarchy of Corsair society. The familias lead by Dons and Elders. Strong, but stubborn. Powerful, without mercy.
I do understand this. We, the Corsair would not have survived the beginning of our culture without this strict leadership.
Soon i had longing for the Stars and my curiosity grew faster than me. My adoptive parents noticed it and one day, i was a young man already, they gave me as much credits as they could and sent me into the city, where i was working in a space port then. Very often i spent my free time in the bars to listen to the stories and adventures of pilots and commanders.
An old smuggler became aware of my curiosity and from that day on he took me with him, like a son he never had, while i felt adopted the second time.
From this smuggler i learned all about the business. I learned the meaning of true freedom and i have seen places, me never imagined.
Eventhough a Corsair and smuggler, my mentor died peacefully one day in the arms of a maiden with a bottle of rum and a cigar. Well, might have been not so nice for the maiden. He left ship and equipment to my responsibility.
It was the beginning of my voyages and a career as a small, but free smuggler.

My ID is Smuggler
My tag is Corsair
My ship is Corsair
My equipment is Corsair
My heart is Corsair

But my mind and will are free and will never bow. I'm not interested in politics. I'm only interested in Corsair wellfare and i want to see the universe, to wander between the stars, to satisfy my curiosity and ofcourse to trade in exotic goods (contraband is not a nice word for).
I'm not aggressive, but won't leave any doubt, that i'm willing to defend myself, my people and friends of mine and my people.
