"Generosity is a poor investment; greed, however, always pays dividends." -Count Necrosis
Captain Necrosis began his career as an unwashed desperate veldspar miner. He spent his early years scraping a meager existence from asteroid belts in Oshaima, a harsh environment where the only real currency was grit and the occasional sliver of precious ore. His given name was long forgotten, replaced by the grim moniker "Necrosis," a reminder of the desolate, life-draining nature of his work.
The turning point in his life came when exploring an anomolous ore belt. His sensors hit pay dirt: a massive, untapped motherlode of Prismaticite. As he began extraction, a larger, corporate-owned mining fleet appeared and, invoking an obscure claim law, seized his entire operation, leaving him stranded with nothing but his stripped-down ship and a profound, festering bitterness.
He was rescued, but the experience fundamentally changed him. The raw injustice of having his hard-won fortune stolen fueled a deep, unshakeable obsession with wealth as the ultimate shield against powerlessness. He became convinced that only immense personal riches could ensure his survival and independence. He abandoned the physical labor of mining, leveraging what little he had left to become a ruthless prospector and deal-maker. Now known as "The Count," he operates on the fringes, his every move calculated to accrue capital and never again be at the mercy of others.
