We are the Historians of the fabled Towers of Lormount, we apoligize for the lost story one of our new apprentacise deleted it when she was translating it. After many months of searching through the historical records we hope we got the story straight, so let us begin.
His story begins 47 years ago in a apartment on the lower East side of Manhatten,his name was never recorded,his mother was a bar maid in a seed place called The Rum Jungle and his father, whom we never found out his name, was a scoundral and a pirate. His father left before he was born and his mother was murdered shortly after he was born by a band of marauders who were looking for his father. So the young lad grew up in an offanage till he reached the age of 7, when he ran away. He spent the next 10 years living off the streets but he could always be found in the Rum Jungle after dark where he would hide in the dark corner and listen to the old pirates telling thier tales of fourtunes won and lost. There was a middle aged bar maid, Jazzmine, who had takin a likeing to him, as she had no children of her own she unoffically adopted him. After she closed the bar she would make him a meal from the left overs from that night, as she cleaned up he would tell her all the stories and information he had heard that evening, she began to call him her little Insider man, as he always had the Inside scoop on the latest scam, so that is how he became known as "The Insider". One of his favorite pirate stories was about the famous "[]@[] RedBeard" known in the pirate world as the greatest Rum runner in Sirious. []@[] RedBeards story actually begins some 3-4 hundred years before the birth of young Insider. He was not known as []@[] RedBeard then, he was Thomas RedBeard,a young pilot in the Great war between the GMG and Rheinland, he was presomed dead after the great battle of Sigma 13. A young Outcast pilot named Joline had found his escape pod 5 days after the great battle, he was in very bad shape, both legs and almost his entire right side had been destroyed. She took him back to her home planet, Malta, where after many operations and several long months of reabilitation, he was back, kind of anyway he was almost all siborg. A few years later Joline and RedBeard, both getting bored with planet life, took to the skies once more to begin thier lucrative career as smugglers. They started a small clan know as "The []@[]" it was just them and 3 of thier closest freinds. Thier trademark deals Always began with a vintage bottle of Rum, it was rumored that if any member was caught without a bottle of Rum on board they would loss a body part, that was never confirmed. Joline and RedBeard spent the next several decades expanding thier smuggling empire, becoming famous in the smuggleing world as the only ones to "Always" get the goods delivered, maybe not always on time due to some unexpected detours. It was some 80 years later when Joline past away from old age, RedBeard being 3/4 siborg was inmue to ageing he could just replace parts as they wore out, RedBeard was devestated by this and fell off the map never to be seen again only heard of in whispers and romurs.
It was shortly after Insider's 17th birthday when an old pirate came into the bar saying that he had once met the famous []@[] RedBeard. Insider was entheralled, could his Hero the famous []@[] RedBeard still be alive today? He took the old pirate to a back room and bought him vintage Rum till the old man had poured out everything he knew about []@[] RedBeard. Young Insider was over come with wonder he had to get off this roting planet and go see for himself if []@[] RedBeard still existed. He spent the next 11 months working, stealing, tradeing to get enough credits to buy a ship and on his 18th birthday Jazzmine took him down to the local ship dealer. He bought himself a small cargo ship, it was not in the best shape, but with a little tlc and alot of help from his step mother the ship was ready to fly. After a long goodbye and a promise to return one day to take his step mother away from this place he was off. Buying and tradeing anything he could get his hands on as he made his way through the vast network of space. Stopping at every planet and base finding the most seediest bars buying Rum's for the pirates listening to thier stories and romurs in the hopes that he would find []@[] RedBeard. This went on for several decades, Insider now calling himself The []@[] Insider, had just turned 47 he was sitting in a grungy little bar on the Arranmore base in Dublin called The Desert Rum when he over heard an old pirate say he had just seen the famous []@[] Redbeard on the planet Earth in the Sol system. This was almost to good to be true, after 29 long years of searching was he realy going to meet his mentor? He invited the old man over to share a bottle of Rum so he could hear the whole story. The old man told him how he had just come back from the planet Earth throught the Warp Anomaly that was found in the Hyperion system. While he was on earth he had met this old siborg in a rusty old bar called The Lone Rum-man and after 5 or 6 bottles of vintage Rum the old siborg started rambleing on about how he missed his old freinds from "The []@[]" and his beloved Joline. Apone hearing the name Joline, the excitment was to much he could not get off the base fast enough. Flying as fast as his ship would go, not careing that his cargo hold was empty or even that he forgot to bring an extra bottle of Rum, he headed for the Hyperion gate just north of the battleship Hood. A few hours later he finnaly reached the planet Earth, he was so excited he almost missed the docking ring. He landed and imidiatly went in searh of "The Lone Rum-man", after several hours and a few misdirection he finnaly found it. He was nervous and extreemly excited at the same time, stopping at the front door he felt around for his bottle of Rum finnaly realizing he left spacedock without one, dam if the romurs were true he would have to cut something off. He swung open the door and tryed his best to casually walk in, at first glance he did not see anyone inside as his eyes ajusted to the darknes of the place he seen someone sitting alone in the darkest corner. He slowly approached the the man trying to think what he would say when the old man pulled out a very large knife and asked "Ye bring mez a bottle of Rum mate?" The old man looked up and roared out laughing "Don't be lookin so worried Lad da romurs be lies, sit down before uzs be fallin" He then yelled out "Bar keep more Rum for mez an miz new freind here" They sat drinkin Rum and swapin tales till the wee hours after the 8th bottle was drained the old siborg stood up and said "Well mez young freind all uzs storiz of high adventure lookin forz mez has put a drop of hope in dis old ticker. Whatz say uzs wez get out of here and start some new onez?
And so a new chapeter begins for our famous smuggler []@[] RedBeard and his new partner The []@[] Insider, look for them out in space you may just get a bottle of vintage Rum, if you are polite enough.
