Joseph “Ultimus” Thragg

Background:

Born in the 4180s (exact date unknown) in the slums of Rune III, a stunted industrial colony, Ultimus might have died as a ganger or union goon if a corporate security agent hadn’t pulled him from the streets. Ultimus was used first as an informant, then as an enforcer when the corporations wanted someone roughed up. A rival system government attempted to annex his planet, and Ultimus enlisted at the age of sixteen. He lost the war but made enough connections to join the next one on another world. He never looked back. Over the next two hundred years, Ultimus Thragg built a reputation for himself by taking missions others considered suicidal. He fought in boarding actions, station raids, and every planetary environment from gas giants to domed cities on moons. He didn’t always succeed and was often the last man standing, earning him the callsign “Ultimus.” He married Lindsay Jeppesen on Byopore in 4341.1 and put his career on hold, advising planetary and corporate security forces. He and Lindsay had one daughter, Jessica. The marriage fell apart in 4346, and Ultimus returned to mercenary life.

While working on Politeia IV his employment was enlisted by Zack Lancestrom.
