Tomas o`Cuinn is a well-known Hapan/Amani Cyborg business and starship trafficker. He is the current Governor of the Gree System, but originally gained widespread recognition for his profit-driven trading career along with galactic notoriety for his (past) public position with the Black Sun Crime Syndicate. An architectural engineer by profession, Cuinn spent a great deal of effort building a solid education background. He holds an advanced (eight year) degree from the University of Charubah and has cited this educational foundation as the platform for his personal and business successes. He has funded a variety of different scholarships to aid financially-challenged individuals in earning their university degrees and regularly donates significant sums of credits to nonprofit charities. Cuinn is also an alleged victim of a unique strain of the Metamorphosis Plague, causing a partial mutation in his DNA to register as Amani while retaining the physical appearance of his Hapan form. On top of this unique species condition, he is also classified as a Cyborg due to his prosthetic arms and cybernetic left eye.

Biography

Background

Born sometime in Year -19 to parents Culain and Maeveen on the planet of Charubah, Cuinn was the oldest of three children. Rossalyn and Kelwyn, fraternal twins, were born three years later. Born into a wealthy family, the three enjoyed a privileged childhood and excelled in their schooling. Cuinn would eventually depart to attend the University of Charubah and pursue his adolescent interest in architecture. Seven years of study and lectures and exams later, he graduated with honors in Year 6 with an advanced degree in architectural engineering. Though employment offers were in abundance on Charubah, Cuinn had an itch to travel and explore some of what the galaxy had to offer; he accepted a promising offer from an architecture firm on the distant world of Gree.

His work consumed the next four years, designing and developing numerous settlements growing on the four planets of the Gree System. One of the complex facilities that he had designed was a skyscraper in truth, but acted more like a fortified compound and had many exacting security requirements from the client. It alone had taken the last year to design and the impenetrable level of security and redundant backups intrigued Cuinn, leading him to make the mistake of inquiring about the intended use of the compound. Unfortunately, that client did not appreciate the questions that Cuinn was asking.

Cuinn vanished without warning early in Year 10, though the exact details of his disappearance have never been made public. A multitude of ridiculous rumors were in constant circulation among his peers and associates, though they died only a few months later. After his reappearance in Year 12, Cuinn would confide in close friends that he had been abducted and held at a government black site and interrogated for his inquiries, eventually being dumped into a privatized prison on the planet of Malicar. A few months later, he had been sold and transferred to a forced labor camp. He alleges that he eventually organized the workers and rioted, seizing their freedom in an expertly-orchestrated revolt that resulted in the death of every slaver guarding the camp. Among the hundreds of freed prisoners were a handful of Black Sun members, who gratefully offered Cuinn the chance to work for the criminal syndicate and potentially earn a place in their membership. It would be years before Cuinn would discover that the criminal syndicate that he was about to join had been behind his original abduction.

Black Sun

The majority of Cuinn's extensive history with Black Sun has been shrouded in secrecy. What is known is that he is a veteran of both the Woldona VII and Malicar II Development Projects, building homes and jobs for more than 155 billion civilians and creating over 1.05 billion credits in additional tax revenue for the Syndicate. He also participated in the Battle of Axxila against the United Rebel Front, securing complete control of the Ciutric Sector for Black Sun. His loyalty and work ethic were rewarded by both Dark Prince Banquo Knox and his chosen successor, Dark Princess Cait Catra. Before the forced resignation in Year 14, Cuinn was the highest ranking (non-Family Council) member of Black Sun, Commanding Officer of the Syndicate’s Recruitment and Training Division, and an Intelligence Officer of Black Watch. He also served as the Chief Operating Officer (2IC) of Hyrotii Corporation.

Y14 D354 Despite a career demanding nothing short of respect, one of Alexander von Ismay’s initial moves as the newly-appointed Dark Prince was to force Cuinn’s resignation on Day 354 of Year 14. This was one of the earliest moves in Alexander’s paranoia-induced campaign of accusations and betrayal against his own organization.

Aftermath

After his forced resignation from Black Sun in Year 14, Cuinn returned home to Charubah for the first time in over a decade. He reunited with his family and contemplated retirement, having amassed more than enough credits to comfortably live out the remainder of his life. This comfort and relaxation was cut short with an assassination attempt on his life early in Year 15.

A trio of would-be assassins infiltrated Cuinn’s family estate, intent on quietly executing him with vibroblade precision before destroying the entire compound with thorium charges. Their failure to take Failinis, his pet Vornskr trained for warfare and sentry duty, into account would prove to be their downfall. Their entrance into Cuinn’s sleeping chambers was rewarded by the angry Vornskr, its whip-like tail subduing one while sharp teeth into the throat of another. Awakened instantly by the noise, Cuinn had grabbed "Dyrnwyn, White Hilt" – a sword made of 9093-T7511 grade durasteel and infused with Phrik – and immediately engaged the remaining assassin. The years of practice and training proved useful as he managed to disarm his opponent’s vibroblade, but this only caused the desperate assassin to prematurely detonate a dozen thorium charges placed around the estate. The resulting explosion ravaged the area, collapsing the building and killing many of the occupants – both of Cuinn’s parents, five cousins, three uncles, and two aunts. Cuinn was dragged from the still-collapsing facility by the Vornskr Failinis and recovered by his brother, Kelwyn, and sister, Culain.

Cuinn awoke a few weeks later in the Athakam MedTech hospital his siblings had rushed him to. Groggy from pain medication and the long slumber, he slowly realized that his arms felt quite differently than he recalled. The medical staff explained the extent of his injuries, including the advanced cybernetic arms that had replaced the badly damaged limbs remaining after the explosion. His left eye had been ripped apart by shrapnel and removed, a cybernetic replacement installed in its place. Fifty percent of his body had been covered by second-degree burns, his chest and arms receiving the majority. Though his arms had been replaced entirely, his chest dermis and epidermis had been supplanted permanently with synthskin. Later conversations with his surviving family would lead to the reviewing of holorecords and the recovered bodies of the assassins, though Cuinn already recognized the tactics due to his extensive experience in Black Sun operations. The forensic tests confirmed what Cuinn suspected – the trio were members of the criminal syndicate, his former employer. Alucard Tepes, a long-term Blades officers, had led the two lower-ranking members, Monte Kase and Ryan Skirata, in the operation.

Cuinn had been blacklisted and declared an enemy of Black Sun by Alexander von Ismay on Year 15 Day 1, the same day as the attempt on his life.

GenoHaradan

Seeking protection for his family from future assassination and potential kidnapping attempts, Cuinn accepted an offer from an old comrade. Thus began his employment with the GenoHaradan, a modernized cell of the ancient intelligence order. Putting his experience as an intelligence officer for Black Watch to use, his transition into GenoHaradan went smoothly. He was able to utilize his expertise in architectural engineering by designing the new shield networks that protect GenoHaradan facilities, along with designing the facilities themselves.

Supplemental Information

Description

Cuinn's physical appearance is that of a typical Hapan of standard height and lacks any significant distinguishing marks. He does not stand out in a crowd, though his unique armour and clothing are a different story. Post-assassination attempt, Cuinn is rarely seen in public without his armour and helmet, though the former is usually worn beneath either a synthetic business suit or Morellian oilcoat. An Imperial-built Nightstinger Sniper Rifle hangs on his back, held by a sling around his torso. "Dyrnwyn, White Hilt", a custom-forged blade, hangs from his belt, sheathed on the right hip. To complement the Nightstinger’s range and his sword’s melee, Cuinn carries a pair of modified ELG-3A blasters strapped to his left thigh and the rear portion of his belt, respectively.

Personal Assets

Throughout his lifetime, Cuinn has managed to accrue a sizable fortune that serves as funding for his growing collection of rarer-than-usual starships. An old family relic, the Veltraa-Class Cruiser "The Daghdha", rare vessel based upon ancient designs, serves as his personal flagship and was gifted to him upon his graduation from the University of Charubah. While employed by Black Sun, Cuinn utilized Aurora Technologies, and later White Star, to outfit and modify the Veltraa's interior design for a more luxurious and aesthetic appeal along with replacing many of the dated systems with modern technology.

Other noteworthy ships include:

• CR-70 Corvette "Manannan mac Lir "
• Bayonet-class Light Cruiser "Tlachtga "
• Modular Taskforce Cruisers "Crom Cruach ", "Crom Dubh "
• Hammerhead Cruiser "Eochaid mac Eirc "
• RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor "Nuadha "
• Razor Fighter Squadron "Dian Cecht "
• ATR-6 Assault Transport Squadron "Mac Cecht ", "Mac Cuill ", "Mac Greine "
• Sentinel-class Landing Craft "Morrighan "

Metamorphosis Plague

Late in Year 14, Cuinn was afflicted by unique strain of the Metamorphosis Plague during his travels. Though the plague usually mutates the entire sentient being, he alleges that the strain modified only his DNA and left his visible shell intact. The relevant medical logs have been destroyed, but there is no mistaking that Cuinn retains the physical appearance of a Hapan male while biometric scanning indicate that his DNA registers as Amani. Close associates have described his personality as having transformed, though requests for additional information have been laregly ignored. No other cases of this nature are known to have been reported.
