-Charming with a dangerous smile. Short Black Hair and quick hands. +Obvious grizzled vet who is graying soon for his years. Moves with the assurance and efficency of a man who has been trained for combat.

 ====History==== ====History====
  
-Galen Castor was born to a lower middle class family at the lower levels of Mora. As a young man he had little direction other than wanting to get off of Mora and to someplace where he felt he had a chance to prove himself. He did not want to follow the miserable path of his parents. Out of basic school and working odd jobs, Galen was approached by Fid Ottarsson, who offered him a job. All he had to do was take a middle passage on a departing ship and perform a basic act of sabatoge. Galen jumped at the chance. He ended up playing a far larger part than he planned, helping when things went south. He left with what he now knew were pirates. Galen Castor had joined the clan of the Pirate Queen Svana Göndu.  +Sergeant Hanson is a veteran Marine from Tenalphi in the Lunion sector of the Spinward Marches. He never knew his father and his mother died when he was 5. He was raised by the local farming community. As a child, he showed an intuitive knack for figuring things out, despite a meager formal education. As an adolescent, he grew into a formidable man, like a throwback to the ancient people's from Earth who became the Sword Worlders and who settled the world over two hundred years ago.  
-Galen would go on to foil a coup against Svana by Jessica Faraday. While the plot was foiled, Faraday managed to escape capture. The fact he let her get away meant that Galen did not advance in the organization as fast as he wanted. Full redemption came when Galen personally led the heist of the “Wandering Centaur”, a luxury casino liner on its slow cruise from Mora to Rhylanor and back. This daring act brought wealth to the Clan, but also the attention of Imperial Intelligence who came after Svana with a vengeance. Seeing this coming, Galen decided to change jobs. He knocked around on various ships for a couple of years as a senior crewman until he settled down into the place that would finish his career as a rouge.  +  
-Galen signed up with Starkad Kolson, who runs the rogue team using an older captured ship as a mobile casino. He had the “Wages of Sin” converted from lab research to a luxury ship by Tevye Topal, a notorious crime lord. The Wages lost its labs, added some high staterooms, and added a few weapons. It was early on that Galen cheated to steal a significant amount from Sgt. Jeffery G Grimes. Grimes would love to find a way to pay Galen back.  +He was recruited by the Marines and given the opportunity to be educated at the Marine Acdamey, where the genial giant partied hard and almost did not graduate. From there he went to 5 tours in the Marines. In the early years, he took part in several minor actions, and three significant actions against Swordworlder actions and pirates. In his third term, he disarmed a pirate at negotiations which were supposed to be weapon free. This saved many lives including that of Colonel Rhien and earned him an easy promotion, and membership in the Traveller's Aid Society as a gift from a grateful merchant Captain.  
-After nearly a decade on, Galen was running the Wages, and could see he needed to get out. The corrupt casino had done well but was attracting too much heat, and Galen was tired of running what amounted to a hotel. Galen made a deal with the Imperial Agent, Samuel Maxwell that let him depart the Wages, while Imperial Intelligence moved in. Now, Galen is looking for his next adventure.+  
 +It was in his fourth term that disaster struck, and the foolish young lieutenant, Sephriel Cruz, ignored Hanson's advice and caused the needless death of over 50 Marines, and severely injured the sergeant. Hanson felt forced to turn him in, causing Lt. Cruz to be court martial and ejected from the service. Hanson recovered, but the injuries cased his age to catch up to him. Because of his long recovery, his final term had him planet side, in advanced training on power systems. Despite being assigned to security for to Galen Cole as he exited the pirate life, the newly promoted Hanson was quite bord. He began to spend more time gambling. Never luckly, this usually meant he lost what he wagered. Until he didn't. Hanson had nothing but luck one night, and found he had Cr120.000 as the sun was coming up. He decided to retire.  
 +  
 +Now Sergeant Hanson is looking for adventure.
