Benjamin Walker is an Eurafrican man in his 60s. He keeps his scalp shaved, but sports a bushy beard long since gone to white. He has many tattoos, including facial ones, and wears a patch over his left eye, which makes him look like a caricature of the pirate captain he is. Benjamin hails from somewhere in the Deep Periphery. He become as spacer as a youngster, and eventually worked his way to become a dropship's mate. Then pirates happened, and Mr. Walker had two options: serve or walk the lock. He chose the latter, and was promoted for his willingness to embrace the new way of life.

Walker has worked some 20-odd years as a pirate captain, plying the space lanes in his dingy Mule. Like most pirates he's not really a full-time pirate. Most of his time is spent ferrying goods and people between the worlds of the Oberon Confederation and it's vassals. He has visited every world in the Confederacy, the greater Valkyrate and the Elysian Fields at least a dozen times, and knows well many places in the Deep and along the borders of the Commonwealth and the Combine. But when King Grimm calls upon his services, he will fill his dropship to raid the worlds of the inner Sphere for slaves, technology and valuables.

Capt. Walker is now eagerly serving the Black Wolf Lancers. He's not formally an employee, but he's doing his very best nonetheless. Perhaps he seeks to atone for his wicked deeds - or just make himself so useful he's not handed over to the Lyrans...

GM Notes: For some reason poor DROPSHIP Cpt. Walker was mixed up with JUMPSHIP Cpt. Greer during the Crater affair. No idea why, except shitty GM.

Cpt Walker is a colorful, minor NPC that could be worth keeping around, but could also be disposed of. He run a MULE-class dropship, and has firsthand knowledge of a great many worlds in this part of space.

Cpt. Greer is a pretty faceless jumpship captain (SHE is also actually a woman, Greer is her given name, a detail that seems to have slipped into the cracks). She's an experienced captain to be sure, but like most jumpship crew she rarely sets foot on a planet.
