Identity: Astaire Quatrevaux

Personal life and studies

According to records, Astaire Quatrevaux was born and raised in Caille by Jenai and Micaela Quatrevaux, both Gallente. He attended the University of Caille, where he earned doctorates in neuroscience and psychology.

Professional career

Quatrevaux opened a clinical practice sometime around the turn of the century. In YC115, he entered capsuleer training, from which he graduated on July 8, YC121. He has no criminal record. He launched a new suite of practices under the corporate name Viavant shortly after graduating.

Verification of records

The documentation confirming his identity is solid and able to be verified. The only sign that something might be amiss is that, due to changing technology, some of the documents, such as his birth certificate, are formatted in ways that are too modern for being four decades old. This might be explained by the original files being corrupted.

Identity: Ira Falconer

Early life

Ira Falconer was born in the city of Moisant, on the island of the same name, on Octanneve V in Solitude in YC77. His father was Gallente and Mannar, and his mother was a descendant of Krusual slaves from the Amarr Empire.

The city of Moisant was a refuge of sorts set up by the Mannar governors of Octanneve V’s larger continents. Run by Clan Licei of the Krusual Tribe, it straddles the equator, and is one of the warmest places on the planet, with a subtropical climate. Ira grew up on a marina owned by his mother’s family. Early on, he displayed a talent for building things. He studied engineering first, then coding. When he learned the natural sciences in school, he made a connection between the neural “circuits” of the physical body and the electrical circuits that powered his world. This paved his way into neuroscience, specifically brain implants.

His father worked in warehousing and distribution, but in secret, the work he did was for Serpentis Corporation. He attempted to leave his position around YC86, and may have attempted to steal information or double-cross the corporation in the process. Before he could quit, he and his wife were killed in an unfortunate dropship accident. The clan chief of the Licei, Kaya Bati, suspected Serpentis and had Ira adopted by clan members living in Mylain, a city on Gallente Prime, in hopes that the corporation would not search for him there.

Employment by Serpentis

Ira excelled at his studies and began college at 16 years old, enrolling at the University of Caille. There he met a woman named Drienne. They dated, fell in love, and unexpectedly created a child. Ira married Drienne several months before she gave birth to their daughter. A year later, they also had a son. Ira continued his studies, but his new family put him under increasing financial strain. Serpentis approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: a position researching and developing neural implants, with a sizable salary to match.
