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.
+
A battlefield medic in the War, Bean drifted for a time afterwards. Hopping from planet to planet in search of he wasn't sure what, he finally traded on wartime contacts to become an Itinerant Peacekeeper. The job didn't have any particular solid authority, but it was respectable work and let him keep hopping around the 'Verse.

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.
+
From time to time he'd find himself tracking down the occasional fugitive, but mostly he just offered his services in keeping the peace when he touched down in places where the peace had become a mite stretched.

For all he hops about, however, Bean avoids Londinium and that planet's arm of the tong. He is not above showing his tattoo and trading on his rank about the 'Verse, but he knows if he ever runs into that specific crew again, they're gonna want explanations, and the simple truth ain't like to satisfy them.
