Background
Jackson Farseeker served the Imperial Navy with distinction until disillusionment—and a stubborn streak—pushed him into retirement. Estranged from the regime, he roams the spacelanes with his granddaughter Jill, working odd courier jobs for his one‑time son‑in‑law, smuggler Roark Garnet. Despite flashes of pomp, Jackson’s star charts and battle lore have saved the Dorion Discus more than once, most famously plotting the jump that shook off the Customs Frigate Assessor above Thorgeld I.
Personality
Cultured, verbose, and proud of his accomplishments. Quick to bark orders in a crisis, quicker to apologize after. Finds joy in mentoring youth—especially Jill—even as he needles Garnet for “reckless piloting.”
Objectives
-- Safeguard Jill’s future far from Imperial reach.
-- Unlock the secrets of the alien ou’tranoi device he refuses to sell.
-- Prove, to himself if no one else, that honor survives outside Imperial uniform.
Quote
“Plotting a jump isn’t luck, my boy—it’s discipline. Now brace yourself; the stars await our cue.” |
