Character Bio
Birth Planet: Londinium
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 and his easy manner among both Alliance folk and Independents 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.
Sometimes he'd have occasion to track down the occasional fugitive, but mostly he just offered his services in keeping the peace when he touched down in places where peace had become stretched. The most notable such stop was Kaituo, a repair station in orbit above Angel in the Kalidasa system. He arrived two standard weeks after the foiled Reaver attack, with responsibilities that mostly entailed making sure folk got fed while repairs were made, but it put him in a position to learn nearly firsthand what had happened there.
He watched as those firsthand accounts were suppressed, evidence tainted or outright destroyed, and misinformation spread by paid mouths and celebrity backwash across the cortex. Kaituo was the biggest Alliance coverup in recent memory, and Bean had watched them weave it whole cloth out of lies and misdirection.
