        William Stuart was a well paid cyber-surgeon from Wales. He moved to Houston in 2010, to work in the Houston Medical Center. He married Claire Underwood and had a son, Michael, and a daughter, Mary. They bought a large house in the posh, upscale neighborhood of Bellaire. A few years later Claire's mother was widowed and she came to live with the Stuart's for the remainder of her life.
         Michael's school discovered he possessed magical powers at the age of eight during a routine magical scan. His parents quickly withdrew him from the school and enrolled him in a private school that could teach him to take advantage of his new powers. For the most part he was a good student, if somewhat uninspired. He made average marks and in no way distinguished himself.         He did however pick up a hobby in school that he has long since enjoyed. Michael has become a rather skilled artist and seems to always have a sketch pad with him. He has sold some works and even had a gallery showing once.
         For the most part, the Stuarts were not very religious. They were surprised and angered when Michael befriended a pagan priest. Michael met Lucan when Michael sought refuge in Lucan's temple during a particularly nasty storm. Lucan introduced Michael to the ways of the Norse gods and soon Michael joined the church.
         A couple of years later, when Michael was sixteen, his parents divorced. Michael and Mary remained with Claire and moved to Montrose. William married his mistress, Connie, a twenty-year-old exotic dancer, within three months of the divorce.
         At eighteen Michael lacked direction and ambition so he enrolled in the CAS army and attended the Military Academy in Atlanta. He became a Combat Thaumaturgist and quickly gained the notice of superiors as a man with unique insights and methods. Upon graduation he was assigned to a black-ops unit, the 52nd Special Forces Division, also known as the Wraiths.
         Michael was involved in two major conflicts and dozens of small scale encounters. He was decorated for his heroism in his first major conflict, a terrorist raid in San Antonio, which his side lost and his company nearly destroyed. He commanded a company during his second major conflict, which happened in El Paso. He commanded his troops to a succesful mission but the trauma of it pushed him to a desk job and a psychiatrist's couch for the remainder of his term.
         He left the Army as a Captain with three Silver Hearts, two Medals of Commendation and one Gold Star for heroism. Naturally he was heavily recruited by the various mega-corps when he left the service. He chose a second-tier corp instead. He joined the ranks of United Oil in 2045, as the security chief of their Dallas branch. While in Dallas he met and married Fatima, the fifth daughter of Ibrahim Abdel-Karim, an Arab talismonger. Sarah, their daughter was born nearly two years later.
         Michael points to an incident in '45 that he claims is responsible for all of his troubles. While indulging in a few too many in a local pub, he met an old ork priestess, whom he insulted with a very tactless and crude joke. He claims she put a curse on him that any thing he loves would come to ruin.         That curse may have been real after all. Only three months after his daughter was born Michael received a visit from the men in green, his old Army commanders. They required him to assist them in a black-ops against United Oil. He refused adamantly, only to discover that they had kidnapped his wife and daughter to ensure his cooperation. Two days later he assassinated the company president and destroyed over a million nuyen worth of computer research. His family was returned to him, with the threat that any word from him to the media or any one else would result in the death of his family.
         Only a month after the assassination of the company president, Michael was found guilty of the murder and sabotage by a UO court and sentenced to death. He managed to escape his corporate prison with the aid of a few loyal security personnel. He arranged for his family to go into hiding and has not seen them since.
         Michael fled to the far east where he met up with Colonel Mark "Scorpio" Doomas. Scorpio was one of Michael's commanding officers with the Wraiths, and had since founded a small mercenary unit operating from Bangkok. There Michael ran drugs, and weapons, assassinated targets and enforced the rule of local crime lords. Scorpio sent Michael to Denver to begin organizing a new operation, having seen that they could no longer remain in Bangkok. He was right. In '49 the Scorpions, the merc unit, was ambushed by Junta soldiers. Eleven of the twenty-five Scorpions were killed, including Scorpio himself, though no body had been found.
         Michael managed to quickly organize a small security corporation, Scorpion Security, Inc. with surprising little difficulty in a city known for its bureaucracy. The few survivors of the Junta hit squad managed to eventually return to safety in Denver.
         In Denver Michael met Evangaline, supposedly a former assassin for a major corporation, which one she refused to divulge. They had a brief romance that ended cordially and even resulted in Evangaline's appointment to a team leader in SSI.
         Michael is currently seeking information about his family. His father in law has heard no word and fears the worst. UPDATE: Sidewinder is a Captain in Scorpion Corp, and with the MIA status of Scorpio he is Co-leader along with Shelob(Black Widow). Sidewinder is trying to establish Scorpion Corp as a legitimate security systems corporation. These were the last orders given by Scorpio and he is against sending the corp back to Bangkok to extract revenge. Black Widow and Sidewinder have had repeated arguments about the mission. Due to this the security corporation has become stagnate to Sidewinder's dismay.
