Biography
Rebelling against the Federation
After defrauding the Federation bank for either five million or five hundred million, Iago was convicted for embezzlement and sentenced to life imprisonment on a penal planet. Four months into an eight month journey to the planet, he managed to escape from the prison ship along with two fellow prisoners when the ship became involved in a salvage operation to recover an alien spacecraft.
Once in control of the alien spacecraft, Iago, along with his two comrades, set course for the penal planet to rescue additional crew members, arriving three hours later just as the prison ship was docking. (PROSE: Metafiction)
He was the killer of the Butcher of Zircaster. (AUDIO: Taren Capel)
After many adventures with his crewmates, they crash landed their ship on Gauda Prime, where Iago narrowly avoided execution by fifty Federation guards. (AUDIO: Metafiction)
Life on Kaldor
By 2889, he was hiding from the Federation on the planet Kaldor. He committed a series of random murders in Kaldor City so that Kiy Uvanov would hire him as a bodyguard. (AUDIO: Occam's Razor)
