Igliim is a bit of a hard boiled character. 8 years in the ''Star Marines'' made him completely at home in microgravity and spacecraft. 8 years of working undercover has given him sharp eyes and a few tics. (Yes, I believe he does know of the ''Belters Freedom Alliance'', ahem…someone might recognise him, but he will insist that it wasn’t him.)

He drinks a lot and even smokes. His ungroomed appearance and rude slang belies a professional behaviour. Though when sober he can be seen to have a few twitches and tics.

He can dress up when needed, in fact he can put together a costume for many different places. But, working with the ‘scum’ around the Glisten subsector has definitely rubbed off on him. In the card games he likes (spades, which he cheats at), to the holovids (raunchy dramas), and transport (no car).

That's a potential context that they could hang out, the fencing gym.

During his early time as a mercenary Commando with the ''Varangian Guard'' he was used in a lot of short duration gigs and was used as a reconnaisance specialist for special ops. Later though, they got a few contracts to take out pirate crews, which he had practiced before in the Sword Worlds particularly. (With Darian on some ops in fact.)  I was imagining Bridin seeing Igliim a couple years before the war, when he was trying to get out of Tirem with several wounded team members, no uniforms, and a lot of expensive kit. Then again more recently, spotted him as part of a group of radical BFA/ pirates, covered in tattoos/ paint, drug use etc. (Ciaran)

He was referred to as a "bad penny" or a "spiker", someone who boards ships as a saboteur for pirate crews. His connections and work took him into the orbit of Bridin’s ex-husband. A few of those mutual connections might have gone missing over the last eight years (prison or air lock).

After this time he became enamoured of a cause. In fact it was the belters that he had come into contact with on Tirem. Though, when he mentioned that he wanted to help out they were suspicious. Frustrated, Iggy continued his poor life decisions. Then he met an old acquantance in a pub. This person was in fact an ''Imperial Navy Intelligence'' officer who put the screws onto him. Sign up or you're small fish and we'll throw you back to help someone else's cover. Reluctantly he agreed. Thus the deeper association with the 'belter' or 'spacer' community of the Glisten subsector. While it was useful for the anti-piracy campaign he was recruited under. It was also useful for the anti-Zhodani and anti-Sword Worlder campaigns that started up duing the Fifth Frontier War. He is just coming out of four years undercover, with a large amount off blood on his hands.

More recently Igliim was sent on a covert extraction mission. A mission that teamed him up with his old friend Sayaka. They were rescuing none other than Aleksander Berg! His part of the plot was the actual physical contact bit of course. It involved portraying arms dealing pirates with no qualms about Sword World money. It was a very dangerous gig, but it’s shaming the ''Scout Service Intelligence'' apparatus made it all worth it. He did have to sabotage their efforts a little bit, but they did start the rivalry (or did they?).

Since mustering out, Igliim, or Iggy to his short list of friends, has been dealing with disconcerting levels of stim, sleeping pill and alcohol addictions. He is essentially self-medicating his PTSD. Another one of his issues is trying to save money to get his tattoo collection removed, which the Agency was supposed to pay for. He also habitually cheats at cards, but he is good enough at it that he doesn’t get caught too often…
