Vanz ran away from home (if you want to call moving to a branch of his clans holdings on Lunion running away) at an early age. He joined an academic expedition into Darrian space as part of his post graduate college studies, survived the mysterious deaths of many of the teams studying old Darrian sites, then ended up losing his closest friend in a ‘natural’ disaster on a site dig.
Badly hurt, he was shipped back to Lunion to recover. Media interest in the ‘lost expeditions’ found him going underground, but the scout service forcibly scooped him up and threw him deeper into the mess. Acting as a Darrian liason, he finally tracked down the reason for the unfortunate deaths, but ended up having an official secrets act slapped on him. He was allowed to retire with honour.
Disillusioned with Imperial politics, he turned to his first love…music. He travelled the borderworlds area between the Sword worlds, Darrian space and the Imperium as “Trickster’, a solo performer who’s blend of Sword worlder, Darrian and Imperial music styles bought him fame and contracts. However, his relationship with a well known mobster brought him shame and more negative media attention and his own clan cast him out (though his increased his sales).
He went vagabond, moving from place to place as a hitchhiking entertainer, all the while crafting his musical magnum opus. When he finally released ‘XplorA’, a musical odyssey with thinly veiled references to the political machinations of the region, it was an immediate hit.
Certain Imperial intelligence agencies were less than happy, but the fame it brought him made him too dangerous to touch. His family welcomed him back with open arms, but he had found the life he had led in the last few years to be the best thing that had ever happened to him. Now, he seeks to head out amongst the stars again, using his fame and noble rank as a shield from interference, writing songs and doing 'uncut' performances in the oddest places. His cult following on the sword worlds and in Lunion sunsector does a great trade in bootleg copies of these odd appearances, keeping his name alive. He's looking for his second big thing.
He's currently on Spirelle, hanging with an old roadie/security Aslan (every big tour has to have an Aslan security guy) and an old mate from his early years who shares his secret. He has a gig at the starport, but plays for free in some of the artier bars in the seedy side of Startown.
