Background

Desmond was born in Chi-Town into a military family of moderate prestige. His mother and father were career CS officers who expected their children to continue building on the family legacy and power, and ensured their children were tutored and groomed towards military service and political power from early childhood. He displayed a gifted mind that unfortunately, in the view of his parents, began to develop psionic abilities during early adolescence. Unwilling to let the family name be tarnished by having a psion in the family, and with Desmond too young to have cybernetics implanted, his parents submitted their young son for radical treatments in an attempt to destroy his developing psionic potential.

The treatments only succeeded in crippling Desmond's nervous system and gradually destroying his eyes. He was kept in isolation from strangers “due to his poor health”. His stunted psionic potential redirected itself into an impressive, if mundane, ability to learn at an exceptionally rapid rate. When he was old enough the damage to his body was repaired with cybernetic systems and he resumed his place in the family plan.

With family connections and his own talents he rose solidly through the military academy, pursuing the R.P.A. “Sam” program. He was very good but never quite displayed the abilities needed to be a front line SAMAS pilot. His training shifted to Military Specialist. He finished training just as the Tolkeen conflict erupted into full war.

In the hell that was that warzone he was assigned to a recon unit and tasked with locating targets for full military assault, softening them if possible. His still dormant psionic abilities began to manifest in the form of a resistance to magic and psionics that he was occasionally able to extend to his allies. He became known as a bit of a good luck charm in his unit, and was fairly popular amongst his soldiers.

After the war he was reassigned to Operation Hound, plan dreamed up by the Chi Town brass to build support for Coalition views. In short summary it amounted to massacring human villages and towns in unaligned territories while making it look like the actions of D-Bees. Desmond doesn’t know how many towns he helped destroy, but he remembers the look of fearful hope on the face of the little girl as his commander’s blood splashed across her face.

The fight inside the unit was brief, bloody, and ended with a handful of survivors loyal to the CS fleeing for the nearest outpost to report Desmond’s actions. Knowing his actions mean certain death if he returned to CS controlled lands and unwilling to pledge himself to a cause after having his belief in the CS betrayed; he spent the next year reinventing himself as Devon Kincaid and making a life for himself as a mercenary and gambler. His only loyalty now is to the almighty credit and his own conscience.

His actions reverberated at home as well. Word of his betrayal reached CS Command, and the retribution against his family was swift and brutal. Stripped of rank, political favor, and wealth they were cast into the Burbs. No family rises without enemies, and it didn’t take long for the enemies of the Kane family to take advantage of the fall to eliminate their rivals permanently. Only his older sister remained standing, having married into another family who protected her. Now she will do anything to find her brother and punish him for the downfall of the Kane family. Desmond/Devon remains unaware of this.
