Origin[]
Titus Is the son of a Wyvern native to Ajax and his wife; both of whom are refugees from the glassing of the planet by the corporation TraVerse. They refugeed to the fringe mining planet of Coriolis-3 in a nearby system to Evanaris after this event, where Titus was predominantly raised. He was born on Ajax however, and thusly witnessed the glassing of the planet in his youth.
Growing up on the mining world that was Coriolis, Titus spent the better part of his childhood listening to stories his father told of working as a Wyvern, at the time the standing army on Ajax. Many tales of loyalty, brotherly bonds, and grandiose stories of combat and bloodshed. Titus knew the name of all of his father’s old friends, all of his old enemies, the names and natures of every corp "as seen from a dragon’s eye", and anything in between that his father could speak on.
Later on in life, his parents-both Ajaxians themselves and trained in their ways, took to teaching him as they would have traditionally, despite being on another world. His mother taught him marksmanship, as she was a crack shot to rival any of the men his father worked with, and his father taught Titus the more Visceral, close quarters points of combat, as well as battle tactics.
Having heard so much about the Wyverns to near-idolization and training to become one, he eventually saw quite the opposite, as the planet they lived on had a small splinter of the Wyverns- who, after joining them, Titus discovered were little more than Corpo-backed paid thugs, under direct payroll of Valkyrie. They constantly broke their code, and often strong-armed slummers in the planet's rows, being one of only three splinters on the planet. This eventually drove him to seek a way off-world, his family encouraging him to see the galaxy and make his own way within it.
According to his own accounts- Last year, he heard tell that the Wyverns' chapter on Hellion was more proper, and that they were recruiting- and decided to make his way there to go join. The opportunity arose, and he took it in haste.
Titus is looking to start anew in the Wyverns and on Hellion; to find new folk to care about, and a new purpose to fight. New reasons to live a life. -Or, failing that, he hopes to work his way into surviving as best as someone born outside of a corp can hope to achieve. It ain't much, but it's better than slumming without a home. Once he felt he could even work as a "Corporate dog" If needed, but after his time on Hellion, he's changed his tune on that, now willing to work with them, but never exclusively for them.
History[]
(Pre-S3) In his own account, Titus started more a sniper than the frontline fighter he's become, but his training took a bit more to the latter style of combat. Before leaving his home, he willingly had his Right arm removed, and replaced it with the prosthetic his father had when he was younger, as a sign of respect. The new arm was… Temperamental, and served little more than a chunk of metal with some dulled claws. So, as a sign of respect for his father and to his mom- reverence for her husband, his mother painted it with an ornate mural depicting Titus’ father and himself, one old dragon passing the flame to a new, young Wyvern.
As for his cybernetic eye, he got that from an accident he rarely speaks on, his mother replacing the now ruined organic eye with one she developed as a cybernetisist.
Titus is new to Hellion, having arrived recently planet-side and gone through processing before being emplaced as a Wyvern in the Row, transferred from his old branch where he had a tenure of four years.
(S3) During the events of Season 3, Titus emplaced himself in many places within Salvation City, befriending who he could and getting his name around as a hard working freelancer and a passionate, loyal Wyvern. He feels he did well, despite the inner-conflicts the faction had faced. By the end of the season, Titus was the new leader of the Row 32 branch of the Wyverns, and re-hired some members who were removed from the group due to those very same conflicts. For better or for worse, the Wyverns move forward with many opportunities and allies, a new leader, and a good reputation, if a little rocky to get there.
