Born as a Tritanium miner in the Old Man system, Atrus' family was killed by landing troops from the Minmatar and the Amarr, the former being followed by the latter. Going against the beliefs of his family and colony, Atrus joined the Gallentian Navy and immediately signed up for the Emperyean program. Though mining brings Atrus back to his roots, he will stop at nothing to eliminate pirates and those people who would harm innocents.
