Mac attained the rank of corporal in the war, and despite people constantly trying to kill her to death, it had been good for her - siding with the Independents, fighting for folk to be free, learning a skill that had value everywhere in the 'verse. It had given her a place and a purpose in ways her misguided back alley upbringing never had.

The only daughter of the young matriarch of the Han triad, Kiko enjoyed a protected if not particularly sheltered childhood. Exposed both peripherally and directly to the inner workings of a criminal empire, she grew up fast, but always there were men and women around her both required and willing to stand in harm's way on her behalf. She knew that she was a target. And she knew they would always stand between her and the arrows of whoever might come for her.
 
 
But the war had ended. Freedom gave way to an uneasy peace, and life lurched forward again. Mostly in spite of her.
 
 
 
Mac drifted aimless in the aftermath, hopping from planet to planet and station to station, taking odd jobs - many not quite strictly on the legal side of lawful - and generally following after whatever caught her fancy in the moment.
 
 
 
But she was running from ghosts that weren't even chasing her. To be sure, if they ever caught her up, they would demand an accounting - and Mac suspected the simple truth was not going to sit square in that reckoning - but until then she had a life to be about living.  
 
  
So, she called in every chit she had, and for once things came together smooth. Word in the wind had a transport ship in need of a doc, and Bella Mason, a pilot friend she'd run into from time to time while skirting the left side of lawful, was captaining that transport, ''and'' of all the folk in the empty black, gorramn Lazarus Jones was member of the bloody crew.  
+
That became starkly real when one attempt to abduct her led directly to the deaths of the men assigned to her. So, when she reached her majority, Kiko declared herself emancipated from the Triad - a declaration the Han matriarch ostensibly allowed.
  
Mac had lost count of the number of times the old scrounger had come through for them during the war, dumping ammo or rations or medical supplies practically in their laps while they were caught behind lines and official word had no supplies being available. No question, she owed Lazarus her life ten times over if it was once.
+
Now, out in the Black, Kiko has taken it upon herself to find folk who need help to flee their situation and start new lives. Despite her known stance, she is still widely thought of throughout the triad as the Han heir apparent, and though she vehemently denies any involvement in triad business. she has been known to make free use of triad resources if it suits her needs to do so. And while attempts against her personally have grown rare, her mother's enemies know what she is worth in leverage against the matriarch. Soon enough one is bound to try again to gain that leverage.
  
And it was her turn to buy the first round.
+
Kiko has also recently reunited with the father who was exiled from her childhood. A battle-scarred veteran and core educated doctor, Jian Van Jensen somehow managed to avoid entanglements with the triad, and she has respected her mother's desire that she not to unduly 'disturb' his days. Though he was never allowed a place in her life, mother always spoke kindly of him when she sharpened her knives. So, when they are together, Kiko does not speak of the triad, and for his part he seems to quietly understand her silence.
