The Lawman (storyline)
An expectedly shrewd business man, John St. Alban, who goes by the moniker "The Lawman", has been selling stolen arms merchandise since the end of the War. From his lofty mine-tower office, he has carved a healthy groove in the trafficking industry on Delta V through his many connections and ties to important decision makers since the end of the great conflict. Guilt rides heavy on his shoulders with every credit earned, though. Once he lead men and women into battle for justice and freedom. Now he fattens his wallet off the misbegotten exiles, both Legion and former Uprising, in an attempt to survive in a world where order has fallen by the wayside.
When the war was in full-swing, The Lawman was a respected commander of whole regiments of Uprising soldiers, including its limited airborne forces. He was a brilliant tactician, second only to Oz, and a master outfitter. His motto "There's a tool for every job" served his loyal troops well. When the War ended, he was one of the few men and women warriors who managed, by sheer chance, not to be banished from Delta V.
He is reluctant to begin the fighting again as he has mustered a lucrative little niche in the new economy of Delta V's warring factions. Just like any commander, though, he is empty without a people to lead. His one and only true ally, his daughter, Selina, is also losing touch with her father. She has always resented him for keeping her from joining the fighting when the War was at its apex, but now matters are worse because he does not appear to share her convictions, whatsoever. His war is fought on the marketing battlefield, now. It's a lonely battle and the toll may be worse than death.
His daughter's distance linked with the guilt over what was essentially profiteering have led him to a vice-ridden and somewhat reclusive lifestyle. Will The Lawman ever rejoin the fight? Perhaps...
