Stephen Deadeye

Overview
Stephen Deadeye is a top general for the UGA, reporting only to Grand General Kim Kaffa. He is currently in charge of UGA forces on the front lines of the Separation Wars.

History
Stephen Deadeye was born in 251 to middle class merchants. He made a great wealth in his twenties by working as a mercenary in Sector ROT. He would collect money from locals to ensure protection from the Reckless Ones. It is unclear whether Deadeye actually would fight the gang, or just give them a cut of the profits to ignore the settlements. Either way, Deadeye was able to afford a small posse after a few years. During this time, Deadeye's gang engaged in well documented battles with the Reckless Ones, ending any deals they had (assuming that he actually did in fact cut deals with the Reckless Ones at one point in time). Deadeye's wealth increased exponentially. Many systems refused to let his team dock, as Deadeye's gang became notorious for not being much better than the Reckless Ones when it came to property rights. Figuring that the law would eventually catch up with him, Deadeye betrayed his posse in exchange for pardons from the local system. Stephen Deadeye then decided to sign up with the UGA in 276. He proved himself as an ambitious (critics claim too ambitious) captain when he bombed refugee camps that other captains refused to strike in the 20 Days Conflict of Sector WS-809. His strong stomach for brutality earned him many promotions and eventually a small fleet of UGA ships. He would use this fleet just a few months later in the War of the Seven Stars to earn money for himself and the UGA from Furhall Gargarnix. Agreeing with Furhall's theory that the rest of the UGA would be bought off by Dunsar Gargarnix and the Hurg System, Deadeye launched a massive WMD strike against the Hurg star, causing a mass extinction of the Hurg System and ending the war. Deadeye was compensated massively by Furhall, both in financial rewards and a political immunity that made it impossible to court martial him for war crimes committed in the War of the Seven Stars. Deadeye used his new-found political backing to secure a position as a top general in the UGA just before the Separation Wars, even after being publicly denounced by Kim Kaffa.
