He is very charming and is great at keeping his 'Rough-and-Ready' guy side hidden if he needs or wants to. Makes friends easily and not quickly provoked.

Underlying Personality:  He is always watchful and suspicious. He'll befriend you readily enough but it will take some time to garner his trust. He is meticulous to a fault. There is always a mission.

Known History:  Born Damien Riggs Moreau in 2486 to Adalene and Sebastien Moreau on Bernadette. Damien has twin sisters, Holly and Harriet, three years his junior. The family lived in New Paris until Damien was twelve when they relocated to Santo, both his parents finding employment with a casino's restaurant. It was the glory days for Santo leading up to the war. As the rich and beautiful flocked to it's lavish hotels and casinos to spend their fortunes the Moreau family prospered. The war brought an end to all that as travel became dangerous or just out right scared Core Worlders away. At this time Damien was on Londinum attending the Institute of Culinary Arts there. He joined the Alliance Military Reserve as he trained and completed his schooling.

Upon graduation he straight away joined the war effort fighting in some of the most deadly battles; Du-Khang and Serenity Valley to name the two most prominent ones. He made a name for himself in the Alliance Navy as a special team member reaching the rank of Master Chief before his injuries at Serenity Valley forced him to retire. Damien returned home to find his father dead and his mom and sisters living in poverty. He relocated them to Sihnon where he had secured a security position with the Trade Commission, having lost the desire to cook. He found housing and employment for his family and put the past behind them. It is here that he dropped his last name and just went with Damien Riggs.

Here he flourished rubbing elbows with the high and mighty. Step by step he worked up the ladder as recommendations always moved him further and further along society's upper crust. During the day he was the quintessential businessman, but at night, a highly training operative that can bake one damn good Creme Brulee. One day he was caught off guard as he received a request from the Companion House Madrassa. The offer was too good to refuse, and who could say no to protecting beautiful ladies? So in late 2515 he pulled up stakes and moved to Londinum to work head of security for the Madrassa endorsed Companion House.


At the Londinum Madrassa House Damien worked closely with the 'XO', as he would come to call Elena, much to her chagrin. It didn't take long before the lines of work and pleasure blurred. Still, under his watchful eye and Elena's managerial guidance, The House was prosperous. In early 2517 Damien received word of his Mother's ailing health and so returned to Sihnon. After her death he promised to bring her body back to Santo to be buried next to his dad. One thing lead to another and he never found his way back to The Madrassa House and Elena. They kept in close correspondence for a time but eventually they both seen themselves being pulling in opposite directions.


Other History:  Damien Riggs excelled in all aspects of military training and moved up the ranks quickly. His name reached notoriety after the botched engagement on the Independent occupied planet Greenleaf. The now de-classified information about the Alliance Operation known as 'Big Tree' on the jungle planet left a good sum of detail out, but it setup Riggs as a hero saving half his detachment from certain capture or annihilation. The heroics though were short lived as Serenity Valley loomed where Damien received a life threatening leg wound. Miraculously he was nursed back to health by a Doctor Casey, who's quick action saved his life and his leg. With the confusion at the conflicts end Damien spent many months recovering on Hera and became close friends with the Doc. When the time came to be discharged he passed along his contact information to Brenna and the two kept in contact on and off until they ran into each a few years later on Londinium. It was then that he thought she would be a perfect fit for the Madrassa House on Sihnon which had an open Doctor position. It was Damien that first put her name in Elena's ear. Eventually Damien moved on but fate is about to bring him back together with some old friends and some new aboard The Allure.


Skills and Strengths:  Friendly and Socially confident. Phenomenal Chef, Hand to hand combat, Rifle/Sidearm Marksman. Basic Military First-Aid.


Weaknesses:  A little too suspicious for his own good, but he hides it well. Loyal to a fault. Lives by a set of principles for better or worse sometimes. Not a mechanic, unless it's a firearm. Cannot pilot a ship, don't even ask.
