Trace Erfire

Born into slavery, Trace Erfire was rescued from Amarrian captivity when he was 11. His saviours recognised the youth's burning rage at his tormentors and recruited him into their band of raiders.

Initially an ammo loader, Trace soon showed that he could pilot a space ship as well as anyone and began flying missions when he was 14. He served in the raiding band for several years, rising through their ranks and perfecting their hit-and-run tactics on the many rescue missions to save Minmatar slaves from abuse at the hands of the Amarrians.

His time with the raiders came to an end when they began taking Amarrians captive. Trace could not abide sinking to the level of his enemies and left the band, taking with him several skilled pilots.

For some time they posed as Amarrian sympathizers and infiltrated the Amarrian military organisation. Trace served aboard several battleships, coming to respect the awesome power of the Abaddon-class vessels.
