Character History
Home Planet: Gryphon
History:
Mike comes from a prominent and wealthy merchant family from Gryphon. He was expected to follow his brothers and sisters into the family company, but instead chose to apply to the RMN Academy. His father was less than happy and exiled him from the family, forbidding him from returning home.
He threw himself into his classes at Saganami Island with anger-fueled passion and graduated near the top of his class. He specialized in Intelligence and served with distinction with the Office of Naval intelligence for many years.
Being a charming young man, with seemingly none of the awkwardness that plagued so many prolong recipients stuck in teenage bodies, he was highly observant and a good analyst. It was these qualities, along with the extensive contacts his family had, that brought him to the attention of the Diplomatic Corp. He was reassigned to the entourage of Countess Jeyne Blair for detached duty.

Family:
The Ward family are a fifth generation merchants and have factors spread throughout the Manticoran Alliance and beyond.
Father - Marcus Ward
Mother - Lee-anne Ward
Older Brother - David Ward
