Given their brother Etienne's success as a capsule pilot, Pierre and the eldest Darmond sibling, Martin, have decided to follow Etienne's trail to the stars.

The Darmonds lost their parents to a transportation accident when they were quite young. They had no extended family and so they had to bring themselves up by sticking close. Martin and Etienne worked hard to provide for Pierre. The boys survived growing up in the free for all of the Gallente marketplace but the self centered emphasis on individual freedoms have left them rather dis affected. They enjoy their own freedoms but they are not particularly attached to 'abstract' ideas such as democracy. Their loyalty is to one another and to their friends not to the federation or any other empire. Though, this being said, they find the Amarr empire and the practice of slavery really freaky.

Pierre has spent most of his adult life selling used planetary vehicles. He spent most of his childhood and teenage years making deals with the other kids and investing his profits. He kept his school mates well supplied with alcohol and tobacco but drew the line at illegal drugs. He has now exhausted his extensive nest egg by investing in Martin's engineering education, his own business education, and in buying their high school buddy out of his hitch in the military at the completion of naval academy training.

In joining Etienne the brothers and their anonymous friend seek to make a mutually rewarding contribution to the development of the Jovian Labs Corporation..

While he is not particularly patriotic Pierre is a little nervous about Etienne's close relationship with the Caldari Navy. However, his primary loyalty is to his brothers and his friends and he is fascinated by the profit opportunities on the fringes of empire.
