Biogrraphy
Little information is know about Cristoph Nick's early life, save that the skilled warrior one day turned up on Tortuga Prime to join the pirate bands who operated there, more interested in the freedom offered by being a pirate rather than the power that resulted. Nick would work with various bands on Tortuga for many years and engage in numerous raids, but would studiously avoid enslaving anybody, a frequent point of contention with Dame Trevaline. Surviving her intermittent assassination attempts, while never entering into open conflict, the relationship between Trevaline and Nick would eventually sour to the point he could serve her no longer. One night Nick would flee Tortuga after he almost single-handedly freed two hundred slaves, stole three DropShips and burned down four of Trevaline's stashes.[1]
While Cristoph Nick remains publicly tight lipped about his pirate days, his reputation frequently proceeds him wherever he goes. This may explain why he prefers to stay on the move, only working with mercenary units without a fixed contract.[1]
Trivia
Cristoph "Corsair" Nick is one of 62 MechWarriors designed by BattleTech (video game) Kickstarter backers of Mercenary Mechcommander and above. They can be met in hiring halls across the Periphery.
