## Biography

### Early Life: An Orphan Spy

Kelle Volpo was born and raised on an urbanized world. Having no parents of his own, Kelle grew up in a city orphanage along with dozens of other children. While the orphanage treated them well, they secretly utilized the children as spies to gain intel on everyone they could throughout the city, and so Kelle was taught the art of infiltration at an early age. His many years as a child spy gave him much experience with socialization, as well as social manipulation.

By the time Kelle Volpo was old enough to learn how to pilot spacecraft, he realized he grew weary of his role for the orphanage and took the first opportunity he had to travel off-world, away from his home planet for decades.

### Adulthood: Life as an Adventurer

As an adult, Kelle made an image for himself as an adventurer and privateer by trade. He traveled to many worlds, both distant and close to the core of the Cassiopeia Galaxy. The thrill of adventure filled Kelle with excitement, and he picked up a number of skills along the way. He learned self-defense and learned how to patch himself up when in a bind. He also learned how to pick out the right plants and how to tend to domesticated animals, as well as to hunt wild ones. The one skill that Kelle never fully managed to develop was his cooking, as he often stopped by taverns for food rather than making food for himself.

During his travels, Kelle befriended a fellow privateer named Milo Gillespie. The two took on several jobs and missions with each other and quickly bonded, growing as close friends.

#### Meeting Paulina

By the time Kelle was in his mid-30s, he traveled to Magreforé, a forested planet, and stayed at a local tavern for a mere week. Within that week, he met and fell in love with woman named Paulina Noble, who worked at the tavern as a cook at the time. Volpo was able to familiarize himself with Noble and her life, and Noble was told the many stories that Volpo had to share. Impressed by Volpo's exploits and adventures, she eventually came to love him as he loved her. The two entered a romantic relationship with one another and promised to stay in touch once Volpo left the planet—a promise that they would never break.

## Personality and Traits

Kelle was a Human man with light-toned skin, blond hair, and grey eyes. He had a chin curtain beard and was known to be rather tall and broad-shouldered.

Many knew Kelle as a generous, gentle spirit with a polite attitude that put him in contrast to his profession as a thrill-seeking, adventurous privateer. He developed a love for traveling and jogging as an adventurer. Kelle was deeply empathetic and was always one to step up as a cooperative member of a community. He loved socializing with others, a trait that was somewhat twisted as a child because of his profession as a young spy. Volpo had a high sense of morality and tried his best to do what he considered was right and just, both for others and for himself. This led to Volpo only taking jobs around the galaxy he knew would be beneficial for the greater good. His friends and family loved Kelle for his deep warmth and sympathy for others.

Kelle was asexual and often preferred to not see others who went without clothing. And yet despite what one may have assumed, Kelle was a deeply romantic person incredibly open to the idea of connecting with his partners through intercourse as an expression and connection of emotional intimacy, not as a sexual act.

## Skills and Abilities

As a privateer, Volpo was skilled in many things that required a degree of physical exertion. He knew how to defend himself in a fight, both in hand-to-hand combat and in long-ranged combat involving firearms. He knew how to treat minor injuries and could tend to plants and animals fairly well. As a child spy, Volpo was also well-versed in the art of espionage and stealth.
