## Biography

### Early Life and Career

In 5925 ASA, Titan was born on the planet Galatea, a colony of the United Cassiopeian Republic that shared its planetary system with another UCR colony, Uplarias. As an adult, Titan made a living as a traveling privateer. In 5946 ASA, 21-year-old Titan met an Autumnian by the name of Asher Kardia while on Cassiopeia Prime. The two of them eventually formed a romantic relationship.

### Leader of the Quartz Squadron

In 5947 ASA, the Quartz Squadron was born. Titan was the leader of this group of privateers, and his boyfriend Asher acted as the group's loadmaster, handling their ship's cargo. The other members of the group were navigator Rodra Bal, pilot Detali Tur, and engineer and researcher Cancris Pagosia. The Quartz Squadron took on many different jobs throughout the galaxy together, from simple delivery missions to rescuing people in need.

### Falling Out

As the group stayed together over the years, tensions between them arose. Asher's relationship with Titan was getting torn, and Cancris Pagosia greatly questioned Titan's leadership, finding it harsh and, at times, cruel. However, Rodra Bal and Detali Tur sometimes found Titan's leadership to be just. This clash of opinions among the crew led to their end as a group.

Eventually, in early 5949 ASA, the Quartz Squadron disbanded. Asher Kardia completely cut Titan out from his life after coming to the conclusion that his relationship with him was unideal, unproductive, and destructive. Titan subsequently severed all connections between his former crewmembers and went out into the Cassiopeia Galaxy alone.

### Life After Privateering: Becoming a Mercenary

After falling-out with his former privateer crew, Titan fell deeper into criminal work and eventually became a full-on mercenary. He found allegiance with a criminal syndicate called the Chrysanth Syndicate, overseen by two powerful and sophisticated Dremirian twins named Creed and Eracia Chrysanthemum.

Titan was paid handsomely for his work for the syndicate, and so he stayed on their payroll for many years to come.

## Personality and Traits

Titan was a Dremirian man and, as such, had iridiscent crystal hair which was colored with vibrant pinks, indigos, oranges, and yellows. He had cyan-colored skin and bright yellow eyes. Titan naturally had a particularly muscular build.

Above all, Titan's strengths and values lied in asserting his authority over others, as he valued his agency and personal power over any given situation. Some found Titan to be harsh at best and cruel at worst because of his comfortless ways of leadership. As a mercenary, Titan had no qualms with engaging in any range of criminal activity, willing to do whatever was asked of him so long as he was paid and was given the opportunity to eclipse others with his own sense of power and worth.

## Skills and Abilities

As a Dremirian, Titan was skilled in wielding crystal-based magic. He often used his magic offensively by crafting heavy weapons to wield, such as battle-axes and maces.
