GUY MIKKELSTEIN
Race and Faction
- Species: ExoHuman
- Age: 46 years (born 2598 aboard the Last Frontier)
Background
Guy Mikkelstein was born aboard the Last Frontier into a third-generation ExoHuman family renowned for their defiance of authority. His grandparents famously smuggled their dog, Gloria, aboard the ship in protest against strict regulations. When Gloria was eventually euthanized due to these regulations, the Mikkelstein family’s disdain for bureaucratic control deepened, shaping Guy’s anti-establishment views from an early age.
After arriving on VOI 700 D, Guy founded Saloon Gloria in Firetown in 2628. The bar quickly became a symbol of rebellion, decorated with Gloria's taxidermied figure as a tribute to his family’s resistance. Saloon Gloria became a 24-hour haven for alcohol, music, and underground activities, attracting a following that shared Guy’s anti-authoritarian values.
Following the Great War, the Federal Confederation's shift to Communardism under GAIA led to Guy’s forced removal as manager of Saloon Gloria. Reassigned as a lumberjack in 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 and Eastern Equatorial Section of the Habitual Belt.
