Pirates of the Baltic Sea:Ani Skell
Ani Skell
Background
Former Coast Guard Intelligence (Rajavartiolaitos, Finnish Border Guard)
Dishonorably Discharged in absentia for ties with Eco-Terrorist Group
Ani Skell obtained a degree in Law Enforcement, minoring in Oceanography and Arctic Studies, in return for a five year enlistment in the Border Guard. She rose through the ranks, serving aboard the last icebreaker, in the very last of the dwindling polar ice. Recruited into the Intelligence division, she achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and could likely have gone far in the service- but for a strong anarchic streak that was triggered by her love of the oceans and their remaining creatures, on the brink of extinction. The security service, it seemed, had no intention of enforcing any environmental protocols whatsoever. It became clear that both governments and corporations had given up on the terrestrial homeland of Earth. Enforcement agencies were impotent against the power of the megacorporations.
While working undercover inside a terrorist cell, she crossed a number of lines, and has never looked back. Except to check for a tail, but that mode of tradecraft is mostly outdated. Ani now continues her fight where she may, while working to make ends meet with a motley assortment of hackers and outsiders.
