<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Ivan “The Mouse”
Vasilev was born on a Rest and Relaxation space station orbiting
Morgaine's World. His mother was a waitress and part time lady of the
evening. His father was a passing spacer. You would think this would
make life hard on him, but the station's corrupt chief administrator
was a married man and a regular customer. The blackmail money put
Ivan through some of the best boarding schools on Gran Quivera.
Through steadfast practice, he was able to convince the other
students that he was from a family as rich and powerful as theirs. He
spent a lot of time designing and carrying out various pranks on
faculty and classmates. The few times he was caught, he was usually
able to talk his way out of it. It was good practice for what was to
come. </font></font>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Upon graduation, he
returned to space and hopped from one Galaxy class luxury liner to
another. Often, he was able to forge or scam his own tickets and ride
as a passenger. At other times, he stowed away. While on board, he
would case wealthy passengers and burglarize their cabins. Usually he
would steal identification data and slowly bleed their financial
accounts through a series of other accounts he had set up as laundry
stations. Of course, he'd take the occasional valuable item as well.
He was able to live the luxurious life usually reserved for the
wealthy and saw all of the known universe. </font></font>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Ivan bought himself
a PDG Personal Assistant PA-1(biped) model robot (dubbing it
Anatolii) to help play the role of a wealthy traveler. He modified it
with the restrain program, built in holo screen (with a camouflage
feedback loop), IR sensors and jammer, and a spare internal type 1
parabattery to power the screen and jammer. It serves as his servant
and lookout. Ivan will typically outfit Anatolii with smoke, doze,
and tangler grenades when it must be armed. He has big plans for
further improvements, including upgrading the level to 6 (6000cr), a
computer link program (4000cr), and adding an anti-shock device
(2000cr). Robotics experts can tell after a successful identification
attempt that it has been modified as the torso is larger then the
typical PDG PA-1.</font></font></p>

<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">He calls himself
'The Mouse' since he often played that role in relation to Star Law's
'Cat'. For years, he was sly enough to escape, even when he was
caught by starship security. A year and a half ago, he spent a month
hiding in a lifeboat in the Theseus System, having escaped from the
security office of the SS Star Journey just before they jumped. When
a UPF light cruiser found the drifting lifeboat, The Mouse was
finally trapped. He spent the time from then to now in a medium
security prison on Morgaine's World. His sentence was relatively
light due to the fact that he never carries a weapon more lethal then
a Doze or Tangler grenade. He had a good prison job working as a
trustee, making a lot of new criminal contacts, so he decided to not
attempt a break out. Anatolii followed its programming and put itself
into long term storage when the Star Journey arrived at Clarion,
allowing Ivan to retrieve it once he was released from prison.</font></font></p>

eyes of Star Law Parole Agents, Ivan has gone 'legit'. Half of any salary he earns is garnished for the
balance of his reparations and fines, until a total of 15,000cr is
paid.</font></font></p>
