\*overheard on an open unsecured net prior to a Blade trooper being found with a dart in his neck\*  “Are you McPackin Gatekeeper?  Because boy do I have a McPayload for you."  \*and heard a few moments later\* “You know, that sounded better in my head.” - Danny "McPayload" Saurin

Danny is a human who hails fromThe Gatekeeper Imperium’s Yenivar system. He kept his religious views hidden from the Blades and other military might of the Gatekeepers. Of a good heart and sound mind, he realized he was tired of seeing all the atrocities committed by the Baron of Yen, and attempted to do something about it. After causing a "small" explosion to hide his escape, he set off into the void.

## Personal History

He was born in the Yeniver system on Abadius 2nd, 4502 A.S. on the space station Yen's Cradle. He and his family were classified as "Nobles", worked jobs, but did not keep any slaves, nor "followed" the main religion of Asmodeus. He and his family did not believe in slavery, and in the dark corners of the station his father and mother smuggled people out of Yenivar System. In secret the family reverend Cayden Cailean; however, Danny new this was not his true calling. Shortly after his 2oth birthday, while working a shift he heard the Blades were aware of rumors that his father and mother were smuggling slaves out of the station. The Blades burst into their home and found them revering in Cayden Cailean. As with the fate of all "non-believers" they were publicly executed. It was here that he found out that the Black Butterfly was his true religion. Mourning their loss like no other, he sought minor ways to thwart the Gatekeeper Imperium mining missions in the Yenivar System. A taint of a mineral sample here, a switch of some medical vials there, he quietly made things a nuisance for the Blades and other Nobles working the space station. He knew eventually he would be caught, so in secret he planned his escape from the space station. Finally on the eve of his 21st birthday, while inspecting a cargo shipment he tainted several mineral samples knowing that these combined substances would have a disastrous chemical reaction, and as an added bonus hopefully negatively impact the Baron of Yen’s visit to the station.  Having planned ahead with a shuttle he was commandeering, he positioned it so that in the resulting explosive the shuttle (and he inside) would be jettisoned from the cargo hold into space looking like debris.  The explosion just so happened to have a more devastating effect than he anticipated, but his shuttle survived in-tack.

That was over one year ago.  In that time he made his way to The Blue Nova Republic, and found some of the freed slaves from his father and mothers endeavors.  Selling the The Gatekeeper Imperium ship, he purchased a used but space worthy one.  Now he plows the void, forever keeping one eye over his shoulder looking for that Enforcer Marine that has his name on a bullet.

Personality

With a nervous tick, he always feels like he is being watched.  Distrustful to outsiders due to his upbringing, and because of the loss of his family he tends to keep a distance even to those he truly cares about.  On the rare occasions he does open up, his friendly demeanor shines and the little kid in his heart returns.  He tends to act impulsively as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect.  Danny makes his own way, and believes in goodness and right, but has little use for laws and regulations that protect the wicked.

## General Appearance

He is a smaller than average human male, with a weaker bone structure due to being born on a station and growing up around zero gravity.  He has green hair with bright blue eyes (possibly due to genetic tampering), and fair skin.  Recently tattooed on his face is a word in an “ancient” language that says “butterfly” (hint, it’s not in the correct orientation), and usually on his clothing somewhere is a reference to his religion.

## Starship

After selling the stolen ship from the Gatekeepers, Danny was able to purchase and refurbish the “Last Recall”, a small pioneer that he has made into his mobile home and medical station.  It suits his needs just fine as he travels from place to place tending to the sick and injured.

## Friends/Enemies

Quon Dethrat is slave mechanic that was freed by Danny’s family.  Having found a good life in The Blue Nova Republic, he was able to assist Danny who unexpectedly showed up in getting a good trade for the Gatekeepers ship.

Rumors persist that the Baron of Yen, Frederick Von Rousenhouse, knows the incident during his visit to Yen’s Cradle was no “accident.”  The Baron of Yen has even spent money on rumors regarding any culprits involved.

## Goals

Danny currently has two goals: 1) Make enough credits while moving from place to place to finally settle down 2) Figure out the Black Butterfly’s goals for him as he knows she’s calling, but he can’t hear it yet.
