Character Bio[edit]

Birth Planet: Londinium

A battlefield medic, Bean attained the rank of corporal in the war, and despite people constantly trying to kill him to death, his time in the war was good for him, siding with the Independents, fighting for folk to be free. It had given him a place and a purpose in ways his posh and mannered Londinium upbringing never had.

But the war had ended. Freedom gave way to an uneasy peace, and life lurched forward again. Mostly in spite of him.

Bean drifted aimless about the 'Verse in the aftermath, hopping from planet to planet, station to station, experience to experience, chasing after whatever caught his attention in the moment. On occasion, he would find opportunity to do the odd job for the Jacks until a hard falling out made continued contact with the gang . . . ill advised.

Duìzhǎng. Captain. His rank was probably the only reason he'd been allowed to walk away breathing.

If he ever ran into his old crew again they would demand an accounting, and Bean suspected the simple truth was not going to sit square in that reckoning.
