Dockyard Smuggler

The Dockyard Smuggler is a potential starting character for the mercenary squad.

Backstory

You once had a steady job at the New Boston Docks, but started taking the Fenian gang's creds to help smuggle wetware from the labs in Peru. When a gang boss burned their rival with a tip-off to UNA Customs, you got caught in the bust, fired and black-listed. With a record and no prospects, you had little left except criminal connections and a desire for revenge.
