 Following the [[great_war|Great War]], the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]]'s shift to [[communardism|Communardism]] under [[gaia_system|GAIA]] led to Guy’s forced removal as manager of Saloon Gloria. Reassigned as a lumberjack in [[morningstar|Morningstar]], Guy eventually escaped and co-founded the Jane Mendoza Gang, becoming a key player in the outlaw organization and leading their operations on the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] and [[equator_sections_east_and_west|Eastern Equatorial Section]] of the [[habitual_belt|Habitual Belt]].
-==== Biography ====
+===== Current Role =====
-Guy Mikkelstein was born to a third-generation exohuman family aboard the Last Frontier. His grandparents famously smuggled their shepherd dog, Gloria, onto the ship, defying the official regulations. The dog's eventual euthanization left a lasting impact on the family`s worldview, reinforcing his disdain for bureaucratic systems.
+**Job Title:** Associate and Head of Gang Organization
-In 2628, Guy founded Saloon Gloria, which became a legendary bar in Firetown. The saloon symbolized resistance against any kind of authority, with Gloria's taxidermied figure a tribute to his family's defiance. Before the [[great_war|Great War]], Saloon Gloria was known for its round-the-clock operation, offering alcohol, music, and illegal substances.
+**Responsibilities:**
+  * Oversees the internal structure and hierarchy of the Jane Mendoza Gang

+  * Serves as a cultural leader within the gang, instilling anti-establishment values and resistance against Federal Confederation influence
+  * Manages logistics for the gang’s hideouts and safehouses across [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]
-However, after the war, and with the implementation of [[communardism|Communardism]] in the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], Guy was removed from his position as manager by the [[gaia_system|GAIA]]. He was reassigned to work as a lumberjack in [[morningstar|Morningstar]], but he soon fled the system, later becoming a founding member of the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]], the biggest [[outlaws|outlaw]] group operating on the [[dark_side|Dark Side]] and in the [[equator_sections_east_and_west|Eastern Equatorial Section of the Habitual Belt]].

A self-described "anti-establishment space punk," he rejects any form of regulation or control, instead advocating for individual freedom.
