About Duke “The Handsome One”
School’s not for everyone. Duke never enjoyed hitting the books – especially with a whole galaxy of riches out there laying in wait. So as soon as he got the chance to enroll in Spinward Federation Pilot School, this cocky rich kid did just that. And he may have made a success of it had he not been booted out for refusing to kill innocent civilians. Duke might give it the ‘big man’ on the streets, but deep down, if there’s one thing he wants more than to be rich and famous, it’s to be liked. And perhaps even loved. Gruff on the outside but soft on the inside, he always has his fam’s back.
