Synopsis

XEON004; Miles Perdere, also known as the Outcast, fought in the Army of the GALACTIC FEDERATION. His father and his father's father served, they had died fighting for freedom. He felt it was his turn, for his father, for his mother, and for his family. He was young, on his way to become a corporal. Various stars, merits and badges. Joined at 15. Knew nothing else in life really besides war. Was an excellent leader. Great with a group of men, determined and quick witted. Knew how to use a team wisely. At 18, he was in battle over a planet's resistance towards the government. When marching out with a squad he was leading, he was shot in his right eye. He managed to carry on until nightfall. When taken back to the medico, they put on an artificial eye for "momentary" sake and sent him back in. Never to get an eye replacement, feeling lied to and betrayed, (didn't receive a purple heart or anything like) he quit his term and lost trust in practically everybody. His mother had gotten old, weak, sick and died before he even had a chance to get out of the military. He couldn't afford a new eye, a very hard procedure, hard to obtain an eye that the body will accept and only few who are trained to do so. So he had to carry on in life with a military eye. He hates his replacement eye, it's irritable, he wants to see normal. His artificial eye does have benefits. This helps him lock onto and identify people. But his wrist band, he dug it. He stole it from the military and customized it himself. A simple telecommunication device that he hacked into and upgraded. Uses it for his next quick buck, a bounty, a job, a load of transportation or a hired gun. He tries to live a life on his own, with no one or having to do with anybody. No home, no one to love. In an enjoyment of occasional gambling, betting and bar fights, he needs cash to get around. He takes up the occasional bounty jobs, something quick and big pay to last him some time. Sticks to no rules, or codes or any decrees. A true wanderer and observer of the galaxy. He is a loner. He has buddies or how he sees them as "associates". Mainly guys he knows he could bet against and take home the cash. And maybe help him in a bar fight or get him a quick job. Otherwise, no trust for anyone. No faith in anyone. No love for anyone. But.... he may just have to learn that in life, he will need others. He is given a "quick job", a bounty on a wanted man for unknown reasons. Preferably alive. He expected to show up and snatch him, but this being has evaded him planet after planet. Miles becomes annoyed and frustrated, due to his intel seeming to be behind, and this quick job taking longer than anticipated when expected.
