History

From 2041 to 2044, Ural wrote for the Jupiter Daily on Callisto. A flattering 2041 piece on the singer Shinobu Birdland earned him a note of thanks from her agent, Chitami Homiakov. He was seeing Rhona Nemecek around this time. Three years on, Homiakov reached out again, this time about tracing the source of an offline disc packed with damaging material on Birdland that had turned up in his mail. Worn down by the futility of the job and the end of his relationship, Ural chose to pursue it. He would go on to swap reporting for bounty hunting and marry Victoria, only to lose his life while running down a wanted head.
