"What's it worth?"

Title: Free Company Trader

Name: Harrison Felux

Age: 41

Family: Son of Jayne O'Hare, a free company trader and Claudia Felux, a lady of easy affections.

Brief History: Harrison Felux grew up in a rough world and it didn't wear him down.  He shipped out with his father's crew the first chance he had and went from there.  He learnt to bargain as he learnt to read, learnt to smuggler as he learnt to maintain his ship and learnt to shoot even as he learnt to charm the ladies.  How he came to possess his ship, The Eagle', is a mystery best left unprobed but he bought his co-pilot and general sick kick, Crailco, from Crailco's Big Fang fair and square.  Having run into trouble with Imperial authorities full tilt, he wound up owing Andrew Farsight a life debt as it was Andrew who save both him and The Eagle and even most of his cargo.  Since then Harrison has developed a very quiet respect for the Rosinante, not that he admits that.

Current Situation: Free Company Trader with a sideline working for the Rosinante.  The Free Company Traders are smugglers and mercenaries to a man, or indeed woman.  The only thing is that they are the go-to option when those in authority have something that needs to be moved 'off the books'.  They are also the ones that will risk taking vital supplies into war zones so hot that the militaries don't want to risk their own people.  As such the various authorities turn a blind eye to their exploits, as long as none of them become over greedy.  How long this unspoken contract will last under the Emperor Morgan Chandler is any ones guess.

Personality: The devil may care but Harrison Felux doesn't.  Saying that, he has developed a little more of a conscience since teaming up with Andrew Farsight.  There is always a financial reason for it though.

Skills: You can't find a better pilot or a better marks man in a pistol fight.  Harrison isn't up to sniper standard but in a ship boarding or a city fight/brawl he can more than hold his own with the best of them.  Harrison knows just about every sneaky, low down, crotch kicking trick in the book, probably because he grew up with the men and women who wrote the book and then invented a few of his own just for good measure.  In short, if you need someone to get to you and out of the hornets nest alive then Harrison is your man, if you have the pay for it.
