Solomani, Male, 46

Fernando is confident, if not overconfident, about his abilities and tends to see the positive side of new endeavours, assuming that he can just deal with any situations that come up. This isn't always true, but he always has an excuse ready and an exit plan prepared.

Fernando Fabian grew up on Esperanza (Reft, New Islands, 0926), the fourth son of a middle-class family who weren't too interested in what he did. He wasn't cut out for school, so instead bunked off to try his hand at breaking and entering, or simple pick pocketing. He got overconfident though, and was caught.

Fortunately an uncle of his, Morales Lorca, was a lawyer, and managed to get him out of a jail sentence in return for some favours.

After leaving court, he was noticed by a local crime lord who gave him an opportunity to hone his skills on some bigger jobs, and soon ended up working with a new partner Julieta Garcia for several years. She would gain the confidence of a family as a hired help, then disable the alarms to allow him in whilst everyone was out.

Unfortunately one job went badly wrong and he was crippled for several months, a situation that took a large chunk out of his savings in medical bills. By this point he was getting tired of always looking over his shoulder, and decided to take a break, getting a job as a delivery driver for a while.

During that time he got to know people working to overthrow the oppressive government, and helped to plant explosives. However, the entire operation was foiled before it began, and he had to quickly move city, taking jobs in less affluent areas. Through no fault of his own, he was involved in a car crash that came close to killing

By the time he was out of hospital, he was starting to feel his age, so decided to leave Esperanza for the first time. He has a share in a ship, and a desire to find an easy life amongst the stars.
