| − | == Early Years ==
| |
| − | Rupert began life on a backwater planet in [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Category:The_Forge_(Region) The Forge]. His parents were not part of a monastic order, nor were they particularly religious. Their ancestors parted from the monastery prior to the [[YC|Yoiul Convention]]. His mother fought for the [[Caldari Navy]] during the wars against the [[Gallente Federation]], and his father controlled a small [[Industrial|industrial]] shipping line which was rumored to have supplied arms to both sides of the conflict. Rupert had no siblings. His early life was very stable, remaining in his birthplace until adulthood; this was an unusual situation for most families during the war.

| − | In his late teens, Rupert joined his father's shipping company, where he learned first-hand the value of stealth. Even though no official reports exist linking his father directly to arms smuggling, extensive [[CONCORD]] records show unexplained, and frequently illegal, behavior in the [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Category:Caldari_Border_Zone_(Constellation) Border Zone]. Due to his involvement with the company, Rupert had a small [[CONCORD|CONCORD]] record prior to joining the [[State_War_Academy_(NPC_corporation)|Academy]].

| − | == Academy Training ==
| |
| − | In the [[State_War_Academy_(NPC_corporation)|Academy]], Rupert proved himself to be a capable pilot. He trained in small to medium ship navigation, shielding, and missile systems, which was common for many Achuran capsuleers. The skills he learned in his father's company were also useful, but the navigational limitations of many [[Caldari|Caldari]] vessels made escape or stealthy travel complicated without the use of cloaking systems.

| |
| − | Rupert briefly worked directly for the Academy, taking assignments from several [[Caldari Navy]] representatives. Although he continued taking these assignments for several months, he soon found employment with another organization.
| |
| − | === Unnatural Growth ===
| |
| − | Cryo Kool recruited Rupert into Unnatural Growth on May 29th, roughly two weeks after Rupert graduated from the Academy. Initially, his service to the [[Caldari|Caldari]] State changed little. After several months of assignments, Rupert grew tired of what the Navy had to offer, instead turning to independent operations.

| − | What began as careful excursions into [[Low_Security_Space|low security space]] soon became more aggressive. Rupert also undertook operations against [[Industrial|industrial]] targets in high security space. His thoughts on this:

| − | {{quote|When I was a young pilot, I learned quite a bit about how these industrial guys make their cash. Yea, I learned how to fly and how to survive in deep space, but there was always a golden rule: '''Thou shalt not be lazy.''' We did whatever it took to avoid laziness, even if it meant manually navigating through fifteen systems in one run. We also took advantage of others when they foolishly believed CONCORD was in the babysitting business. In laziness lies profit, as long as I'm not the one slacking off.}}

| − | === Lost Time ===
| |
| − | After almost 8 months of employment, Rupert left Unnatural Growth to see what else the EVE star cluster had to offer. During this time, he joined the [[Caldari|Caldari]] State militia, toying with operations in [[Low_Security_Space|low security space]]. He even ran with Jericho Fraction for a few weeks, but was in stasis for most of that time due to unknown circumstances.
