Born on a private corporation's Iteron Mark V to the Captain and his wife during one of their many deep space missions into Low Sec; Kettle Vallei spent the early part of his child hood learning the rough and rugged ways of that part of New Eden. When he was in his early adulthood he decided to leave his parents ship and go out on his own. He purchased with the use of a loan from his parents a Venture class mining frigate, which he used to mine Kernite in the astroid belts of Gallente's Sinq Liason region. Stumbling into a very lucrative belt some where on the the border of Gallente space he was jumped by pirates, it was through his piloting skills and sheer luck he managed to evade destruction and capture by a notorious gang of pirates. These pirates mildley impressed by this; jokingly offered him a postion within their Low Sec piracy corporation. Kettle sensing an exciting adventure accepted the position and though rough to start quickly earned a sort of respect within the alliance.
