Biography:

Ujiio David Malcolm Iwitsoto was born in space aboard a privately owned cruiser named the Corsair to a Civire father and an Intaki mother. He was raised in space by his parents and the nomadic group of scavengers and eventually pirates that they belonged to, the Intrepii.

It was in these younger years of his life that he learned the basics of physical and astral combat, taking to the life style easily and demonstrating the infamous competitiveness common to his Civire bloodline.

When he was still young, the Intrepii were beset by the State and overtaken, most of them slain during the fight with a few managing to flee while many others were apprehended. Malcolm and his parents were among the apprehended and were bound and set for return to the State to answer for their crimes of piracy and marauding.

Malcolm's parents were impressed into Navy service while Malcolm was sent to State education facilities to be "re-educated." During these years of his life, Malcolm was marked by behavioral maladies, a rebellious temperament and outbursts of aggression. As time went on, these traits began to slowly fade away and Malcolm became more interested building a future for himself, even if it was not the future he had originally intended.

Upon graduation, Malcolm was given State citizenship and submitted to capsuleer screening after expressing an interest in returning to the stars as a Navy combat pilot. He tested positive and was accepted into the State War Academy. It was during this time that Malcolm expressed a renewed interest in the history of the Intrepii and began doing research into the areas they frequented, the language they used and their history.

Upon receiving his license, Malcolm took the name "Khross" representing his crossover from one life to the next and set out to restore what he had lost and regain the honor of his parents by rebuilding the nomadic people they had belonged to. It was only at this point that Malcolm received a large private deposit from the Wiyrkomi Corporation and an inheritance package from his parents. Inside were their combined diaries, details of their service and several letters left for him.

After a period of isolation and meditation, Malcolm once again changed course and followed the path of his parents. He dedicated himself entirely to the Caldari people and the belief that the State could be everything it needed to be for its people as long as it was led and held accountable by persons of merit and honor. His citizenship was issued under the Wiyrkomi Corporation (via his parentage) and he dedicated himself to embodying the ideas once upheld by the ancient Raata Empire.

Since that time, Malcolm has done extensive research into galactic history and specifically the history of the Caldari State and the Raata Empire. He continues to maintain that the principles upon which the Caldari once thrived will be the path to their continued prosperity and success and now works as a voice and example under the banner of the Wiyrkomi Corporation.

Shortly after his debut to space as a capsuleer, Malcolm became deeply interested in the culture and history of the Caldari people. Eventually pursuing State citizenship and finding it under the Wiyrkomi Corporation.

After a period of study and reflection, Malcolm became an outspoken supporter of the Caldari State and of the Caldari people, as well as an active supporter of the Patriot bloc of Caldari politics and foreign affairs. Eventually forming the Wiyrkomi Honor Guard, he began to lead small task forces into Black Rise and the surrounding areas to strategically recapture State territory and reinforce the defensive borders of the State against its enemies.

However, after a brief tenure as Chief Executor over WHG, Malcolm's career was placed under suspicion and he was suddenly and immediately suspended from duty by the Wiyrkomi Corporation's leadership. It was revealed later that the reason for this was a series of dissident activities that occurred under his leadership. It was also revealed that Malcolm was ignorant of the activities and not involved. As such, his citizenship remained intact but his position as Chief Executor was surrendered.

With the Honor Guard now under the leadership of Desiderya Kyiokkinen, Malcolm returned to service a short time later and publicly called into question the activities and direction of the Honor Guard. This resulted in his subsequent disappearance from space for several months.

The reasoning for Malcolm's disappearance remains a mystery to most, a mystery that he has refused to explain since his return.

His return to space found the Wiyrkomi Honor Guard disbanded following a security audit of its personnel and the indictment of over three-hundred employees in activities against the State and its leadership. The Honor Guard dissolved its operations under directive of its Chief Exeuctor at the time and the appointed auditing officer.

After the disbanding of the Honor Guard, its leadership and upper ranking officers formed a new alliance and corporation with the auditing officer, an alliance which Malcolm has thus far declined to join.

With the turmoil in the State following an assassination attempt on Executor Heth's life and the recent activities of the CPD and the Navy, Malcolm has been visibly growing more distant. While it is evident he still supports the State, or at least the Caldari, Malcolm has thus far neglected to take an active role in any corporation or branch of the State and its capsuleer entities.

Updated original character sheet, added a timeline to summarize and line-up all of the dates and changed the backstory to be more suited and in-line with PF.

Feedback is, of course, welcome.
