- Patch has dark hair, dark eyes, and wears an eyepatch, though there is nothing wrong with his vision. The patch (which he switches from eye to eye just to see people's reactions) is velvety black on the outside, but transparent from the inside. There are phaser burn scars in the small of his back and another on the back of his left hand.
- Brief Personal History:
- Birthplace: Freeloader
- Patch (few know his real name is Georg del Rio) is a well-known pirate with bounties on his head in the UFP, the Klingon Empire, and the AOFW. Because he wants to continue operating out of the Turnstile without interference, he has carefully avoided raiding ships of the OFMA. His ship, a heavily-modified Orion vessel, acts as flagship of the twelve-vessel pirate fleet he commands.
Patch hates Klingons and has been known to rescue merchant ships set upon by Klingon pirates, only to rob the helpless vessel himself. He rarely kills his victims if he can manage to disable the ship and leave them alive. His favorite tactic is to reduce a target's shields to inoperability, then blanket the ship with phaser stun. When the victims wake up, the ship's master and officers are often treated to dinner aboard the Dark Phoenix before being cast loose with their cargo missing.
- Personality:
Motivations/Desires/Goals:
- Patch fancies himself a swashbuckler. Piracy is a game he enjoys immensely. Unfortunately, he has attracted so much attention that bounty hunters now plague his life. He is searching for that one big score that will allow him to retire. Patch has many loyal friends, but the high price on his head tempts even some of his friends to betray him for the reward. In the past several months, Patch has killed three bounty hunters, all of
whom came to Freeloader to bring him back (dead or alive) for the money. The last attempt came too close, and Patch is lying low at present, hoping things will cool off a bit.
- Manner:
- Patch never does anything by halves, trying to live up to his (somewhat inflated) reputation as an anti-hero. When an AOFW holo company decided to produce a docudrama about Patch's career, he intercepted the star actor's ship and held him for ransom. The holo company paid up, but turned down Patch's generous offer to play himself instead if the production could be made on Freeloader. He is generous to those who are loyal, and absolutely merciless to any who would betray him.
- Special Knowledge/Powers:
- Patch has a single-shot, Orion-designed disruptor surgically implanted in his left hand. It is kept constantly recharged (with a special induction charger Patch uses every morning), and can be aimed by pointing his fist and fired by a nerve-trigger. Firing the weapon will disable his left hand until the nerve damage has been repaired. The beam has equal effectiveness as a sleeve pistol, but will not function beyond medium range for that weapon. Only the creator of the weapon knew of its existence, and he is now dead. Patch will use it only as a last resort. If captured and unable to escape, he will use it to kill himself to avoid revealing the location of his hidden caches of loot.
