It had been a few years since he’d taken command of the pirate ship, which in turned out belonged to the Orion Pirates who in turn worked for the Orion Syndicate. The Pirate ship soon became the terror of the region, attacking anything and everything in sight, this in turn soon brought the young Captain to the attention of the Syndicate. Soon the young man was working for the local Syndicate boss, first doing odd jobs like running messages and eventually becoming one of the top enforcers for the region. It turned out killing was something the young man had a unique talent for and soon his reputation spread far beyond the region.

As the years rolled by the young mans reputation grew, soon he became one of the most powerful figures in the Orion Syndicate, rumors started spreading that the hierarchy began to worry that he’d become too powerful. Much to everyone’s surprise the hierarchy announced that the young man was to take his place among them and given control of one of their most lucrative regions. On his way to the confirmation ceremony that would make him one of the top 5 members of the Orion Syndicate an unfortunate accident occurred or at least that’s what was reported. The shuttle carrying the young man suddenly exploded shorly after takeoff from the planet he had been stationed at

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on ones point of view, the young man managed to somehow survive. He awoke onboard a strange vessel and found himself under the care of a masked stranger. The stranger nursed him back to health and soon the young man learned the stranger’s identity, Scorpion, an assassin for hire, known throughout universe. Scorpion took the young man under his wing and for the next decade trained him in martial arts, and other aspects of his trade. Upon completion of his training Scorpion took the young man aside and confided in him, he had been as it turned out training the young man as his replacement, as his teacher had before him. See Scorpion wasn’t just one person, but more of a legacy passed down from one individual to another, each individual having experienced some catastrophic event that drove them to revenge, the replacement assuming the identity of Scorpion while his predecessor retired in peace, unknown, unwanted and unsought to enjoy the rest of his days enjoying the earnings from his career.

The young man agreed and soon donned the outfit, looking at himself in the mirror he watched as a shadowy figure placed a PADD on the table behind him before turning and disappearing through the door. Scorpion would never know who his predecessor was or even what he looked like, where he’d gone or where he’d came from. Deep down it was the only regret he’d ever known, the man had saved his life and given him a new one and he didn’t know who to thank. Picking up the PADD he read it, it contained contacts, the information for a bank account with more than enough money to finance him for the next few years and much to his surprise the access codes and schematics for several of the Orion Syndicates top officials residences. Memorizing the information he destroyed the PADD and headed for the armory, a smile beneath the mask as he formalized a plan.
