Seung Whitaker

Born to a family of traders in orbit of a distance trade planet Seung spent most of his life aboard ships as a young child. Seung grew up going from planet to planet his parents picking up work as well as hired hands as they went not often seeing the same place twice. One that always stuck in his mind was a man named Thaddeus a mercenary that stayed with them for several years. The man watched over and protected Seung and his family getting them through many sticky situations. Seung grew to admire the man and his work saddened when he left but at the same time he saw a path he wished to follow as well.   At the age of 17 Seung left the safety of his parents much to both of their dismay, but they accepted he that he yearned for a different life then one day taking over the ship to trade across the stars. Seung, with few credits to his name, quickly found work under a different mercenary, Imelda, a tough women molded by years of pirating herself eventually turning to the other side for safer coin. She taught Seung the basics of taking care of himself out in the void from true gunmanship to the art intimidation while he would use what he learned as a child to help them find lucrative work amongst large trading and mining companies. Sadly their years years of working together ended when she was killed protecting him, working to protect a crew working on autonomous mining rigs he was blindsided by a native animal only to have Imelda take the blow. He was able to end the creatures life but by the time he attempted to give her a lazerus patch it was too late.     Alone now Seung gathered his meager possessions taking what Imelda had left to him after their years together to purchase transport to one of the many major trading hubs, Sothorth, on the edge of the outer worlds to find more work far from where his friend has perished. He spent several months stuck to the station doing small jobs to survive before finding find his break, another mining company ran by a rich merchants son tied to the Tenebrean empire by lineage in some way bought out several old mining companies to start his own business venture Intrepid Ventures Corporations gathering resources for sell. It appeared to Seung that the man was either insane or richer than most governments if the pay was to be true just to do as he once did only months ago protecting crews in space and on planet while resources were brought to the core worlds. Seung would spend 6 years working for this company across the farthest reaches of human civilization from colony to major industrial core world he saw many crews and many challenges but continued to push on saving what he could. It would all fall out from under him though all at once as the war between the Tenebrean and the Black sun would change his life.     Out in loosely held Tenebrean space on a job for Intrepid as always coming back to the ship for the next leg of their journey after refueling the crew came back to the ship to find it taken over by Tenebrean military only find out that the man who owned it and the company they all worked for was secretly selling goods to the black sun, and was labeled a traitor all his assets to be seized for the Tenebrean. True or not Seung was stuck on a back water station with only the possession he had on hand the rest taken from him as he watched the ship spike out of the system crewed now by Tenebrean soldiers likely to be refit or to bring resources for the war. Nearly creditless as nearly all he owned was left in banks only found in the core worlds Seung sat doing what few odd jobs he could to continue living unable to escape the station as fighting broke out in systems around due to traders unwillingness to bring him or his own lack of credits. This all came to end as an oddly luxurious frigate came to the station with those promising a new life on the frontier for a company called Greenbriar. Seung longing to leave his poor existence took the chance joining up. He was pushed aboard finding himself shipped to another station a small amount of pay in hand. After docking on yet another station Seung was given a short time to purchase anything he would need before being shuffled onto the colony ship and promised a quick sleep as he was put into cryo for the journey to a planet that only in passing from the Greenbrier staff heard to be called Gudrun.   Upon waking Seung fell into the orbit of a local grey-market power broker known as The Baron. During his first mission to recover one of the many scattered supply pods from the burned up colony ship he met those who would later be some of the first Task Force Phoenix members, namely Gunnar and later on, Gordon Giles.    Seung's accomplishments are numerous and he worked with Silvano Mazzio closely for the time the psychic elected to remain in UNW service. Seung is mostly commonly hailed as a Hero of the Remnant war, though he also fought in the desert skirmishes against the Helldivers, fought several battles against the Underhill including the slaying of at least two queens, and later on worked hard to bring the Taros into the unity council to organize Gudrun under one banner. He would later fight in every major battle of the Remnant War, and would go on to become Governor of Terezinho, one of the worlds he helped liberate.    Task Force Phoenix is credited with giving many United Nations of Worlds notables their start upon entering polity service, and although the group now uses Whitaker Solutions as a title, the intention remains the same.    Mr. Whitaker has fought almost non-stop for three years, and upon the close of 2667 has largely retreated from the public light. He now quietly advises his presidential candidate romantic partner Executor Dorlin and largely enjoys the sun and sand of the world he helped save.
