History: Cieran was born on Earth's first extrasolar colony Demeter. His parents moved there from Scotland when they got married. As a child Cieran's days were filled with taking things a part and putting them back together. One could say he had a pretty normal childhood. Made some friends, graduated high school, fell in love, had his heart broken, ya know the usual.
Unlike his friends, Cieran decided to join the System's Alliance Marines. During his service he was trained as a Combat Engineer which he excelled at. During his first four years Cieran spent most of his time repairing and maintaining his units equipment or training operations. Nothing of note really stands out except him picking up rank to Service Chief. When he came up for reenlistment, Cieran stated that he would gladly reenlist as long as he could be assigned to the 103rd Bridge Burners. His term were easily accepted.
A few months after be reassigned to the Bridge Burners, Cieran's unit received their first mission. They had received intelligence regarding a nearby pirate base. His unit's job was to make a breach in the pirate fort then to hold position and wait the main battle group to clear the fort. Their mission was a complete success with only one injury.
The next three years of Cieran's service past with a quickness. The only things of note were in picking up Gunnery Chief then Operations Chief meritoriously. After his service was over, Cieran moved back to his home world of Demeter. He stayed there for nearly a year bouncing between jobs. From working as a bartender to a engineer assistant. He eventually came across an advert for a mercenary company called The White Company. After he did some more searching about said mercenary company. After a short interview he was accepted into their ranks. For the past four years he has served under the banner of the White Company. From raiding slaver strongholds to guarding frontier colonies.
Personality: Cieran treats his word as gold. If he says he'll do something you can bet your life that he'll do his damnedest to get it done. When not on a mission he can often be found enjoying a beer and a nice smoke in some quiet corner. Doesn't like walking blind into something. Does his best to get as much information as possible. Does his best to keep a neutral face for if one gives away their emotions they can be as easily as a book.
Has become desensitized from his time working as a mercenary and his time in service. Can be described as a pretty friendly guy, always willing to listen to people problems and offer advice if he's able too, though like any guy doesn't like to talk about any of his problems. Has a dry sense of humor.
Still holds onto the childlike wonder of traveling to new worlds and seeing the stars.
