Brotherhood of the Black Flag

Background

Famed for his disregard for personal danger, Moracy Talon was working as a test pilot for the Galactic Legal Alliance research and development section when he was captured by Avery Shaw and Dampier Stede, and forced to pilot the scoutship they had intalled their experimental equiptment on. Avery Shaw declared that the GLA had broken their contract with him, and he was determined that the research he had been carrying out on their behalf should never fall into their hands. Talon sympathized with that goal, but couldn't accept the means by which Avery intended to achieve it. However, when he discovered that he had been declared a traitor to the Galactic Legal Alliance, with instructions to the Galactic Marines to shoot him on sight, he felt that joining Avery and Stede in their piratical enterprise was his only hope of survival. Talon had a formalized relationship with a dancing slave he had rescued, Dorami, but after the birth of their daughter, Bonnie Anne, Dorami committed suicide. It took Talon several years to recover from the loss.
