When she grew up, Ornello lost interest in her, and employ her as prostitute; in this time she begun to take contacts and assets with the people around Ornello and she discovered that her master wasn't really likeable to anyone. She discovered also the captain was in possess a ship who refused to use because he thought it was cursed, so, Isabella convinced the youngest and stubborn members of the crew of Orlando to help her to steal the Alfonso, a small Pedlar-class transport.

When he was a child, Cardia Timur became an orphan of the Imperium, but furtunately for him, a friend of his father had been tasked to take care of him and his sister, Cardia Isabella, but she disapear during a night assault conducted by rival family. So, Timur grow helping his tutor, who has prepared for him a future in the Administratum; however, four years ago Timur heard about a ork freebooter who was looking for Cardia Rudolf in the expanse to kill him; Timur asked himself why after all those years an Ork was still searching his father and concluded that maybe Rudolf wasn't dead at all. He asked the permission to his tutor to go in the expanse to find his father, but the member of the administratum initially refused; Timur insisted for several months, collecting more and more reports about this strange ork and his particular mission and one day, with his great surprise, his tutor gave him the permission to go and what remain of the fortune of the Cardia family. With those thrones, Timur bought an old Pedlar transport, the Piaget, and he changed it in a true exploration ship. Now he travels in the expanse, exploring planets and the deeps of the void, often as part of an exploration fleet or employing a privateer for protection, collecting strange artifacts and becoming known as cartographer.

Grut the Genius
Grut is a mekboy, once employed by Cardia Rudolf along with other mercenaries to rescue an ancient cruiser from an asteroid in the deeps of the expanse. The maneuvers to recover the ship were long and required several days. However, one day something was going really bad on the old cruiser, or so they said. Grunt and the other mercenaries fle back to the Vanessa, the Rudolf's Ship, and then they saw that it was empty: all the crew loyal to Rudolf was on the cruiser with her captain. The ancient cruiser begun to fly in the dark again while the Vanessa seemed dead: because it was. The engines was sabotaged and in few time the transport would became a grave because nobody knew how to repair the ship; nobody but Grut. Thanks to his "genial brain" he "repaired" the plasma drive, and thanks to his fists became the new captain of the vessel, that now is called The Black Ork. Grut has sworn to kill Rudolf and take for him the cruiser, he doesn't believe that the old human is dead, because he is too smart for die without a choppa planted in the head. Grut has modified the transport in more or less a war ship, adding an hold full of warheads and another with six squadrons of "reliable" Fighta-bommerz builted by him and his "willing" assistants.
