Originally a ranch hand on Greenleaf, Ollie quickly found that his father's ranch grew the wrong things. As time went by, he found new work that payed in sums that his family couldn't fathom. His employer found Ollie's quick thinking, and earned respect usefull, and put him on starships as trusted help. From there, Ollie bounced between Persephone and several border worlds in the drug trade, until 2518, when he ran across a better deal. Ryan(Onas' lead Pilot) offered Ollie a deal in the supertrade, and Knox honored it. In time, his rim world ways were bushed away, and replaced by city standards. Mafia and gangs may not have been new to him, but cities were.

Ollie worked as a navigation officer and co-pilot for Ryan under the Syndicate. The job was reasonably similar to what he'd been doing, just lots more of it, though, if you know anyone from the Syndicate, it was a common tail. In time, Ollie became known for three things, insomnia, cards, and women. If he can get along with you on these things, then you won't have any problems with him. Just don't bet him money in a card game, he'll clean you out.

Ollie has many tattoos, will fight if cornered, and is addicted to Shotadren Alserin. As with all crew members supplied by the Syndicate, Kuznits is good enough at his job to call it overkill. By any other standard, he should have been promoted to his own pilot seat by now, but that promotion comes few and far inbetween in this outfit. Ollie is fiercely loyal, and it was on this basis that he was recommended for the Peerless assignment, which is regarded as an exclusive position in the Syndicate. Once you made it here, you could call yourself a made man.

<sub>Shotadren Alserin; A stimulant that is generally used in conjunction with drugs and alcohol for it's increasing attributes. The primary effects are an immediate sense of of short lived euphoria and the inability to go to sleep for days on end, typically five or six. There are no known side effects other than blurring vision, headaches, dehydration and extreme loss of appetite. It is substance abuse, but only illegal without a subscription.

For our purposes, Onas and his crews use it to work long hours, and still have lives as well. I shouldn't have to say, but will anyway, that they don't use it for freebasing, just a sleep depressant for the long hours. Onas' crews work 18 hour days normally.</sub>[/ul]

Lewis Hutchins
PB: Terry Crews

Lewis was described by his mother as “slow in the head but with a strong back” most of his life. He is a self-fulfilling prophesy of sorts. With little support and little help coupled with an addict mother and father figures who came and went revolving-door style, it was little wonder that he ended up dropping out of any sort of organized education effort on some backwater planet and working odd jobs.

As a teenager, he was a drug runner for a time. Then, he was a bouncer. He learned pretty quickly that his size made him intimidating, so he came to see his strength as his greatest—perhaps only—asset. He worked factory jobs, anything that promised something steady, and found his way into the employment of Onas Knox.

When he got on as a ripper, stripping star ships of their metal skin and gutting them for their restoration under a false security code, Brilee Gabriel was his supervisor. It was pretty obvious that Lewis was going to fail at the job. Here was a man who was built to be imposing, somebody who looked like he should have been a guard or a bouncer, who wanted nothing to do with that side of it. Lewis was a gentle person, laid-back and kind. He wasn't cut out for the work, but he ended up being decent with the assistance of Brilee, a co-worker and fellow ripper named Gabriel Fernandez, and Rachel Keller.

When Rachel Keller was promoted to foreman, she kept him doing heavy lifting, and kept him partnered with Gabriel. In short, he caused more work for his crew mates, but his friends, like Rachel and Gabriel, more than made up for his shortcomings. When Rachel was moved to the rank of Enforcer, Fernandez took her place, and Lewis was without his mentor. He nearly caused a very bad accident in the warehouse, and he was moved to transporting.

Transporting was a job with the highest casualty rate. It was lower paid and outside of main operations, thus outside of main protection. It wasn't uncommon for a driver to be shot or stabbed en route, dependent on the route, and for this reason if no other, Rachel Keller requested he be brought with her aboard the Peerless. On ship, Lewis basically does heavy lifting and other menial tasks, perhaps playing the part of intimidating while not really having the heart for it.

Lewis is a good guy, helpful, not the brightest, but definitely good-hearted. He wouldn't be above petty theft and light contraband use. He tends to refer to his superiors by rank (he still calls Keller “boss lady” even though she's no longer his superior, for instance).

It has been suggested that Lewis has a secret desire to be a tattoo artist, and may have participated in amateur adult entertainment in the form of sex holotapes.
