Grahm likes to be underestimated. As such he typically wears clothes that harken to an earlier time. Most of the time, he wears worn brown trousers, black boots, brown shirt and long brownish-red coat. He is always armed with a variety of weapons (both concealed and visible).

Personality/Traits
General Overview: Ever the Gallant Rogue, Grahm goes the extra mile to make people believe he does what he does for the money. In reality, he puts his neck on the line for just about anyone who needs help. He was once a Starfleet Officer and had achieved the rank of Commander, but found the restrictions and codes of the Federation too confining. Re-signing his commission (before a court marshal could take place), Grahm disappeared from the Federation to live on the fringe, where his types still worked for credits and gold pressed latinum. He is quick to take insult and even quicker to pull a weapon. He is fair though, sticking by his own code of justice.

Strengths: Grahm has fast reflexes both with his gun, his mouth and his flying. He keeps his cool during dangerous times and shows a convincing bluff. He also has an extensive network of contacts and can get just about anything, providing you don’t care if it is legal.

Weaknesses: Grahm is rash and impulsive and that gets him into trouble. He enjoys the fairer sex a little too much and is also ready to go toe to toe with the Stuffed shirts of the Federation. Because he has a convincing bluff, when it is called, he can find himself in a pickle.

Ambitions: Doing what he is doing right now… and to take a beautiful woman to bed with him.

Hobbies: drinking, flying, cussing, fighting, making money, women, and other general harmless mayhem.

Languages: Klingon, Ferengi, Basic, Andorian, Romulan Curses. Otherwise, it is bad Basic.

Family/History: Grahm’s history is shrouded in mystery… he’ll even tell you so. The reason for that is that it is pretty boring. So he just makes up what he wants at that time and forgets what he has said. Because of this, no less than 5 different stories circulate… he is the only son of a king of 30 planets… he was the lost child of Ethos come back to take revenge on his brother… the Q had a baby and it was him.

In reality, Grahm grew up on Earth and discovered his stubborn streak early in his childhood. Because of this, he was booted from school to school and whipped pretty often. Nothing spectacular happened until he happened to get accepted into Starfleet. They must have been crazy or severely down on officers, because they took him in. In actuality, his parents paid an hefty “donation” to get him in. Surprisingly, he did very well, exceeding in obscure and crazy tactics that seemed to work.

This was offset by his inability to keep sarcasm out of his voice when dealing with other officers.

Eventually, he was shipped out to an old bucket of a Paladin Class Starship, called the USS Anchorage. Assigned to him were misfits and other people who didn’t quite meet up to the elite of the Federation, but were competent enough to do a job. Assigned to patrol an outer area, Grahm grew bored and began to attack pirates, confiscating their ships and resources and either keeping them, or selling them for profit. Over time, they began to amass quite a fortune.

Of course it was hard to keep it away from the prying eyes of intel, and he was summons back to Earth for disciplinary action. Instead, Grahm resigned his commission and took the money and left. He acquired a Bajoran freighter that he named “Albatross” and began to equip it for smuggling and running contraband. Its sports hidden weaponry, an advanced cloaking device and reinforced hull. He didn’t change the outside, leaving it to look like an old broken down tramp freighter.

Now he works within the gray area of the law, doing jobs that are considered marginally legal. He does have a code of honor and there are certain things that if he is asked to do, he will respond by shooting the person. In spite of the fall out with Starfleet, he keeps around the Federaton territories, looking for business opportunities. He had developed a sort of friendship… or acquaintanceship with Admiral Wood, keeping him informed of what he hears in return for security overlooking when his ship’s manifest doesn’t match what is actually there.
