HISTORY
Wynter Rackham's story begins on the dirty streets of Terminus, a chaotic world where survival often trumps morality. As a street rat, he navigated the labyrinthine alleys and bustling markets, unaware of his noble lineage. His mother, a Hapes noble, had abandoned him to keep his existence a secret.Growing up, Wynter joined a local gang, quickly proving his worth as a pocket thief and look-out. His keen instincts and nimble fingers made him a valuable asset. By the time he was barely into his teens, he had already established a reputation among his peers. His audacious nature led him to steal his first ship from a rival gang, a bold move that marked the start of his journey as a smuggler.
Life as a young smuggler was perilous and full of close calls. Wynter's luck, often bordering on the supernatural, saw him through countless tight spots. However, his reckless lifestyle eventually caught up with him, and he found himself in an Imperial prison. The experience was harrowing, but Wynter's resourcefulness and indomitable will enabled him to orchestrate a daring escape, solidifying his reputation as a survivor.
With his newfound freedom, Wynter set his sights on building his own smuggler gang. Over the years, he assembled a crew of like-minded individuals, all driven by the promise of wealth and the thrill of the trade. Under Wynter's ruthless leadership, the gang thrived, running weapons and contraband to anyone willing to pay the price, regardless of faction or cause. Until they finally mostly went their own directions, leaving Wynter to operating solo again. This he did not mind so much since he enjoyed the solitude. But it did not prevent him from sometimes thinking back wistfully to the 'good old days'.
Despite his hardened exterior, Wynter never forgot his roots. His experiences as a street rat instilled in him a soft spot for vulnerable people doing their best to survive. This empathy, though rarely displayed, occasionally influenced his decisions, adding a layer of complexity to his otherwise ruthless persona.
