 ====History====
-Vincent Weiss is the youngest child of the Weiss family, owners of the [[game_systems:traveller:lore:Weiss_Mobil|Weiss Mobil]], a transportation empire that operates behind the claw in Deneb, the Spinward Marches, and beyond. Weiss Mobil moves everything from cargo to people to information. Vincent could have stayed in a life of luxury, but his wanderlust was too great. Eager to prove himself, he signed on as a new Merchant Marine at age 18, eschewing his parents help, but picking his parents company.
+Lucas vin de Volk was born on the minor agricultural world of Mushinag. His large family and extended clan worked farms as part of the local fiefdom in the feudal technocracy of the planet. Lucas was always exceptionally bright, and being a younger Vargr in his family, he had more opportunity for education than older siblings. His brilliance caught the eye of their lord, and he was given an opportunity for a full scholarship, where he started his study of archaeology.
-He first served aboard the Weiss Mobil Zhijun Gu, a large hauler. What he did not know is that Gerwar Long, agent for his parents, was monitoring him from the beginning. Long moved behind the scenes to ensure Vincent received advanced training and that he was promoted.
+As he neared graduation, Lucas was noticed by a talent scout, [[game_systems:game_systems:traveller:insearchoftheancients:npcs:Uum_Muuuinsi | Uum Muuuinsi]]. Uuma was impressed by the graduate, and she arranged for him to work in the field for his graduate work. Lucas soon found himself on a “Special Project” dig for the Imperium itself. After his first Doctorate in Archeology, he was noticed on the same site, by Fellow Vrgar, [[game_systems:game_systems:traveller:insearchoftheancients:npcs:Atule_Azlow|Dr. Atule Azlow]], eccentric and brilliant researcher. Dr. Azlow ensured advancement for Dr. vin de Volk and even invited him to be part of the Doctor’s clan, which Lucas politely declined.
-Six years in, it was obvious to Long that Vincent was quite adept at his role. He turned in his resignation and bid goodbye to his charge, telling the young man he was sure he would do great things in the company. Gerwar Long then left the service of Weiss Mobil and headed out to his own fortune as part of the crew of the Far Trader Kharku. Vincent goes on to prove Long right, with an excellent run in the next several years. While he served ably, the Zhijun Gu was also placed on several choice routes by his family behind the scenes.
+Lucas earned his second PhD in Robotics while working on the site. This was part of a significant breakthrough because of his use of robotic techniques. This was enough to have him return to the University work to teach and work on publishing papers to secret journals. However, he found he was also involved in special training of his own by a civilian contractor.
-As he advanced, it was clear that Vincent, despite his efforts, was receiving favoritism. This did not sit well with some spacers. Vincent became embroiled in a bureaucratic morass after being set up by others with incorrect paperwork. He learned the system to unwind it, but lost any chance at promotion due to guilt by association. With the animosity of some of the crew, Vincent spent a lot of time outside the ship, and the scandal cost him a promotion.
+After training, Lucas was not surprised to be sent back into the field to engage in a new secret project on a remote world. There he engaged in archeological analysis and interpretation. While successful, the rough job aged him, and the first whiteness showed in his fur. He begged off an additional field placement and returned to the University. He was finally given leave to publish something public. At first this went well, within the community, but a high ranking member of the local government, [[game_systems:game_systems:traveller:insearchoftheancients:npcs:Loumus_Swain|Alderman Loumus Swain]], was unhappy and moved against Lucas. Dr. vin de Volk refused to back down and moved forward anyway. Unfortunately, the notoriety was enough to cause him to lose his security clearance. At age 46, Lucas was done with the system.
-To move him from the scandal, Victor was transferred to the liner Weiss Mobil Fernando Zhang. This was Victor’s chance to shine! He proved a fantastic front man for the Zhang in terms of passengers, cargo, crews, and communications protocols. At this point, Victor was being left alone as excelled in his chosen profession. However, this was not to last.
-On track to get his own ship, disgruntled crew again created a set-up, this time with illegal cargo (Psi Drugs). Instead of managing a bureaucratic system, Vincent had to manage the law. Fortunately, he was successful and kept himself out of prison. At this point, his parents stepped in and he agreed to leave for his own safety. He was given a promotion on the way out the door to be First Officer on the decommissioned ship, Weiss Mobil Muhammad Mal. Vincent left on good terms with his family, feeling that he had proved himself, but his wanderlust was as active as ever.
