Marcus Ritter

Marcus 'Stormer' Ritter is the leader and founder of the Storm Kings, which he founded alongside Katarina Janova.
== History ==
A former Lance Corporal with the Sol System Marine Corps, Ritter was eventually dishonorable discharged following an engagement with pirates in the proximity of Novithus. Following the skirmish he reportedly executed five surrendering pirates after they critically wounded a member of his squad.
Although the records of the event were initially sealed they were later reopened per request of the Novithus administration which also demanded that Ritter would be punished.
To avoid a scandal the SDF discharged him and stripped him of his rank and title instead of putting him behind bars.
Blaming corrupt politicians and bureacracy Ritter left the Sol system and, on his way towards Legkiy, he met Katarina Janova. After sharing a couple of drinks the two like-minded renegades decided to team up, this partnership would become the groundwork for the Storm Kings.
