| Sergio Adams was born aboard the Last Frontier into a life destined for infamy. By the time he was 22, he had been sentenced to the starship’s prison for allegedly murdering a passenger in 2627 — a crime he denied and for which no body was ever recovered. His life took a horrific turn during the Last Frontier’s crash landing, when a fire engulfed the prison wing. Trapped in his cell, Sergio was nearly burned alive before the structure failed, and he narrowly escaped. | Sergio Adams was born aboard the Last Frontier and by age 22 had been imprisoned for an alleged passenger murder in 2627 — a crime he always denied. During the crash landing, a fire swept through the prison wing; Sergio, grievously burned, escaped the wreckage and vanished into the chaos of Beta Age Firetown. Over the next years he built a reputation as a ruthless contract killer, spending downtime in the Entertainment District’s underbelly. |

| Severely burned and left disfigured, Sergio was transferred to an improvised hospital after the landing. He seized the opportunity to escape custody, vanishing into the chaos of the Beta Age. Officially declared a missing person, Sergio spent the next several years as a contract killer, earning a reputation for brutal efficiency and spending his downtime in the underbelly of [[firetown|Firetown's Entertainment District]]. | When the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] reforms shuttered many criminal haunts, Sergio lost his under-the-radar gigs.
