Darktail Farstalker

Known to history as having been a smuggler, privateer, rogue, and a highly skilled pilot in his own right (in equal measure), Darktail Farstalker was an oddity within the Demarian race: He was neither allied to Pansheera nor New Alhira, and was never actually citzen of either.

He was actually a Sivadian National until the Kretonian invasion of 2653, his mother having migrated there after being outcast from Demaria just after he was born, apparently due to scandal, although the details were lost along with his mother.

Though his background was one of unconventional Sivadian heritage, the Snowcat remained one-hundred percent Demarian through and through. After Sanctuary, Darktail ran into trouble with the Boromov Syndicate and fled the core systems until things cooled down.

Upon finally returning to the Core a year later, Darktail formed a small Mercenary unit that eventually went on to become the Shinaran Drift Syndicate following the salvage and restoration of Shinara Station within the Shinaran Drift.

He acted as commander of that Station for a year before, Shinara was destroyed by the Remnant Drakarian Empire during the Battle of Shinara of 3002. Though presumed to have died in the conflict, Darktail returned a few weeks later in and as Captain of an alien Corvette named the Phoenix Rain. During the Moebius Wave events, Darktail adventured to the alternate Earth in a bid to prevent the wave from erasing his race and planet from history at the behest of Stumppaw Sandwalker.

Captured by the Guardian Fleet shortly after, the Snowcat eventually staged a rebellion that played host to a daring escape.

In the time that followed, Darktail aided in planning the assault on Area 16, rescued those who actually launched the attack in a stolen Guardian Fleet dropship, remained on Earth as the crew of the Minerva escaped, spent a few weeks trapped under the rubble of the Government center, escaped, got captured by the Kretonians, escaped again, and finally stole a Kretonian Fighter-Bomber.

Dubbed the Wildcat, this Fighter-Bomber was used to wage a one-cat war against the Kretonian forces in the Earth area, launching numerous hit-and-runs and engaging in a number of dogfights, earning a high kill count, and managing to secure vital recon information before finally being shot down over Luna.

He was also the one who provided the Minerva crew with actual and precise location of the Crystal Cathedral, granting that crew the chance to assault and destroy the installation.

His relationship with Shiningcoat Sandwalker, granddaughter of Stumppaw Sandwalker, was also a subject that was widely covered by various media outlets in the past.

However, after the events of the Moebius Effect, Darktail returned to Demarian only to find that Shiningcoat Sandwalker had gone missing, and left the planet soon after to try and find her.

No one is sure what happened to the enigmatic Snowcat after that, but some say that he eventually turned his Corvette towards unexplored space one day, and was never seen again...
