Fatum

The Founder and leader of the Techno Mafia. A fierce fighter and mind who has modified his body and always has a large number of toys at hand to do what he needs.

Early life
Born in the poorer parts of Sol Rojos in the 1960's glory days of the city. While the economy of the city was booming it was becoming more and more skewed against those with lower education. In this environment born to the son of a Korean war veteran who had fallen on hard times. When young his father was arrested when he accidentally killed a man in a bar fight. This leads him to live with his mother who had trouble balancing working and raising her children.

At a young age, he showed a strong inclination towards tinkering, making some money fixing broken radios and other gadgets. However, being a poor black boy he found himself joining a street gang. At the age of 13, he was involved in a situation where a shop keeper was killed in a botched robbery, while he was actually only the lookout he was picked up by the police and blamed for the crime and tried as an adult. He was given 10 years of prison.

Prison
While in prison he read books about the new world of computers, devouring anything he could get his hands on. This was also matched with him growing in size becoming a very intimidating man. He became involved in prison gangs as well, as with the limits of the prison libraries it was often the best way to get the new books he wanted for his growing obsession. He would often trade favors for them, get him a coding manual, he will beat a guy.

Release
After getting out of prison he decided he would go straight, he learned and found a passion and was pretty sure, and soon would verify, he was a better programmer and computer engineer than most people in the world. His life of crime was done he only did it out of desperation, and now he had a skill that was not based on his strength but his mind and was universal.

However, he found himself struggling, when employers found out he was a convict they stopped being interested, or when they saw him as a large black man. He had people accuse him of lying about his skills, and refusing to let him demonstrate them, or most often not wanting to go beyond tossing his resume in the trash. This leads him to grow bitter and angry, but also see the world in a different light.

Around this time he also met his future wife, a young and brilliant lawyer, struggling to establish herself. She was born in Africa and had come to America and struggled to find the future she was told was waiting for her.

Realizing he would not get a fair deal because of his past and who he was, decided that if they would see him as only a thug, he would become a kingpin.
