Dimitri Lev :: Pilot//Hacker

< < < Back to Main Page

"You can't take the sky from me . . ."

Lev was born to wealth and privilege, the scion of a proper Londinium family, and raised on the notion that Unification was as inevitable as the stark cold of the Black.

Yet, even before the war, and much to his family's dismay, Lev was gleefully swimming neck deep in the anti-unification counterculture that had sprung up among the affluent youth of Core. Attending rallies, staging protests, and using his skills as a socially-conscious hacker to covertly undermine the Alliance agenda was just de rigueur du jour. When war finally did break out, it seemed like a no brainer to run off and join the cause, training as a supply pilot to support the Independents as a non-combatant.

Or that was the plan.

Things didn't go quite as planned.

In his third week of training, Lev's jump shuttle was shot down in a police action initiated by an alliance gunship, and he lost both of his arms.

That should have been the end of it, but a stump of a man in a crisp flight suit visited him in the hospital and offered to pay for his rehabilitation and put him back in a cockpit. Instead of shipping home in disgrace, Lev endured months of experimental procedures and intense therapy as they grafted fully functioning cybernetic limbs where his arms used to be.

Security Operations [Sec-Ops] signed him straight from the facility, and he flew for them until the end of the war.
