"We hit 'em so hard half of 'em were still sitting in the refresher, pants round their ankles. Nothing guarantees victory like killing the enemy before they know they're in a fight...Huh, where's that barman gone off to?"
Alecto was born, screaming in the silence of space. His mother was the favourite pleasure slave of an ambitious, but ultimately inept, pirate captain. As evinced by the circumstances of his birth, inside a drifting escape pod somewhere deep in wild space after a disastrous raid. The pod was picked up by the privateers responsible for scuttling Alecto's father's ship, much to his mother's relief. The trio were dropped off at the nearest space port, where Alecto was ripped from his wailing mother's arms and handed off to a poorhouse orphanage. Alecto could not very well live with his mother or father in jail, after all.
He spent the first half of his life aboard the station, picking pockets and charming strangers out of their money and valuables. He followed, from a certain point of view, in his father's footsteps, when at 15 he signed up as a Hellion mercenary aboard a passing privateer ship to escape from the drudgery and boredom he felt. Common criminality did not suit his lavish, adventurous tastes, but the well-paying, semi-professional career of a privateer? This was far more to his liking, and offered the same opportunity for violence as that of a criminal. Alecto was a man of myriad vices, after all.
He served well for years, eventually earning the sergeant's chevrons for his effective, if not entirely efficient, talents in combat. He was a cunning, subtle soldier, preferring ranged combat but relishing the feel of a foe's last hot, gasping breaths on his face when the occasion for melee presented itself. His indulgence in vice only deepened as he earned greater renown and wealth through his exploits, enjoying life as any good Zeltron would. However his carelessness, much like his father's ineptitude, would cost him. His devil-may-care attitude during a dangerous, covert operation resulted in the deaths of almost three squads-worth of Marines, one Alecto was lucky to escape with his life. This almost earned him an outright dismissal, but during his dismissal tribunal he was not above using his genetic pheromonal talents to convince his judges to give him a lenient punishment, so a demotion to Corporal and a verbal admonishment were the only consequences for costing dozens of his own troopers' lives? Life just isn't fair sometimes, after all.

Alecto is a standard example of the Zeltron species, of average height and excellent physical condition, if a little bulkier than most due to his chosen career as a professional mercenary. He has wavy, dark brown hair, light red skin and dark, intense eyes that make you feel like you recognise him. He bears a few tattoos about his person, all attained while under the influence and in the heat of the moment, but never regretted the morning after.

PROS:- Persuasive: Due to the natural pheromonal talents every Zeltron possesses, Alecto is capable of greatly influencing anyone he meets (who has a nose to smell him with).
- Marksman: Using any weapon with the range of a pistol to a battlefield sniper rifle, Alecto is a feared soldier.
- Zero-G, Zero Problem: Alecto has spent most of his life under the weight of artificial gravity, or floating through sections of ships or stations where that artificial security blanket has failed. As such, he is most at home in space, more so than planetside.
- Pride and Honour are for Fools and Dead Men: Alecto is not known for his honourable treatment of a fallen enemy, nor as a shining beacon of a proud regimental command, but then this lack of such traits has ensured he lived to see another day, and that is the most important thing. To Alecto, anyhow.
CONS:- Functional Addict: Alecto has many, many interests when it comes to pleasure- and thrill-seeking, and seeks to indulge whenever and wherever he can. He is always capable of doing his job, but it definitely gets in the way.
- Reckless: At a certain point, the merely careless becomes the dangerous reckless, and Alecto has most assuredly crossed that line.
