Trent Frostbane

In one of the earliest constellations occupied by the Star Traders following the Exodus, a monster by the name of Trent Frostbane was created. Few suspected just how much hubris and malice the seemingly average Cadar Fixer possessed, until it was too late. Unaware of the danger, an enterprising captain, Lord Berithian, began to cultivate his connection with Trent feeding him intel and selling rich goods through contacts Trent provided in the local Black Market. The relationship became symbiotic and as the Captain's power grew and he focused nearly exclusively on augmenting Trent's influence. At the same time, Mr. Frostbane was building a network of Bounty Hunters and used his expanding influence to begin eliminating his nearest rivals. At some point, like in the ancient legends of the Narvidian Awakening, Trent, being fed a constant diet of intel, became omniscient. With access to all knowledge, nearly unlimited influence and an army of Bounty Hunters he consolidated his rule over the galaxy. No longer content just to silence his rivals, he climbed to the pinnacle of absolute power, killing off new contacts he had just spawned, until no one else remained. In the end, even the gods were powerless to counter the mighty influence of Trent Frostbane, their only recourse being to seal off his sector of space and prevent his corruption from appearing in other galaxies.

Yet, word of Trent Frostbane filtered into the many other constellations occupied by the Star Traders. For many he has become a legend, a boogey man, a ghost whose influence is still felt in the sudden disappearance of a cherished contact or appearance of a lethal bounty hunter. To this day, harried parents across the galaxy invoke the name of Trent Frostbane in order to make their children more compliant. And, for many faction Princes, Trent has become a cautionary tale of why Cadar must never be allowed amass too much power.
