Born into a family in a mostly human outpost, Mauro stood out. From a young age, he struggled to be seen as an equal among humans but quickly learned to outthink, outmaneuver, and outcharm his peers. His talents in deception, information gathering, and strategic planning led him into the ranks of Imperial Intelligence, where he specialized in black ops, infiltration, and counter-espionage.
At some point during his service, Sorghient became involved in an operation concerning Ancient artifacts—one that went terribly wrong. The Navy wanted to bury the incident, but Omicron saw potential. They offered him a choice: fade into obscurity, or join an organization that understood the true importance of Ancient technology. He chose the latter, leaving the Navy to serve Omicron’s vision.
