Secker

unfocused defensive resourceful opportunistic
Secker is a navigator whose duties aboard the Empress steadily deteriorate into erratic compliance and hostility. His professional veneer slips under pressure, revealing a preoccupied fixation on the Vraxoin trade rather than shipboard operations. Substance use dulls his responsiveness, while sudden bursts of mechanical cooperation mask deeper indifference to protocol. A hidden stash of Vraxoin near his station confirms his alignment with the smuggling network, though his exact role—whether reluctant participant or active facilitator—remains undefined.
