The leader of the Malleon crew, Nine Fingers served in the Malleon Imperial Navy during the War at great personal cost. Disillusioned with the military, he and his former comrades have reinvented themselves as some of the most feared–and wealthiest–pirates to plunder the space lanes. Nine Fingers uses his experience from the war, fighting rearguard actions against much larger Feron forces, to bait opponents into overcommitting their resources, springing his traps once they’re in too deep.
