Festus Creed

Festus Creed was an inhabitant of the planet Aurora. (Festus Creed was actually an alias; his given name was Buster Rackham.) Despite an Elmer Fudd-like speech impediment, he was the planet's most brilliant cybertechnologist. He sold his services to both the MAARRS consortium and its rival Supah Al-Fareek Megaplex on their respective Men from MAARRS and Women from VENIS projects to design cyborg super-soldiers. 
Over time, he grew disillusioned with the Megaplexes and defected to the 'Hardscape,' the flat, agricultural, unassuming lands that the planet's elites flew over as they traveled between megaplexes. He married and became the father to two daughters as he attempted to leave his former life behind him. 
Creed was the host and "minder" of Commander Bill Keeler's landing parties when they stayed in the town of Fair Haven during their visit to Aurora. Later, he was kidnapped by Hellen Earth and take to the MAARRS Megaplex. He later helped pilot the ship that took the Men from MAARRS and the Women from VENIS to their new home on Ecco 1, where he remained and helped them build their AI civilization.

“Let me weview the wools,” Creed said, scratching the back of his head. 
“The wools?”
“Wools! Wool number one: Stay outta my beans, stay away from my daughters. Think you can manage that, goddammed space cowboys.”''
