Beliefs:- Give me liberty or give me death! (Idealist)
- War and rebellion is my bread and butter, and therefore, to be encouraged.
- The interests of the clan and the free stations are intertwined: without the stations, there is no future for the clan.

Instincts:- Always have a weapon within arms reach.

- Never say anything incriminating where it might be recorded.
Resources:- The Crimson Claw, his pirate ship, a large converted Mercator bristling with guns, grappling harpoons, and pirates. [2]
- A CEBW pistol. [1]
- Ubidaan Command Eyepatch. What looks like a pirate's eyepatch is actually a sophisticated command instrument that enhances situational awareness by feeding tactical information to a HUD without impairing normal vision. +2D Command, +1D Tactics. [2]
- Fashionable yet practical spacefarer attire, gold earrings, and the cutlass that traditionally serves as the symbol of office for pirate captains. Has a well furnished and comfortable captain's cabin on the Claw filled with antiques and trophies.[colour]

- Relationships:
- Karj Nemar (free relationship). His fearsome second in command and blood brother, who he trusts implicitly.
- Wencelas Nam (complicated relationship). Though Lugo tends to dismiss Wencelas as an idealistic fool in front of his men, he secretly admires the man's actions. They have met on infrequent occasion, and though they are not friends, Lugo makes sure he shows the man the respect he feels he is due.
Appearance:Lugo is a tall man with dark roguish features, and has a dangerous look to him. He appears to be in his late thirties, with olive skin and greasy black hair done up in a pony-tail. His eyes are dark and intense, and he has a predatory confidence about him, which is not even remotely countered by his gleaming white smile. He is always well-dressed, even when forced to obey the dictates of practicality aboard ship, and stays at the forefront of fashion. His manner borders on cocky insolence, yet there is an intelligence behind his eyes that suggests he is more than your usual arrogant pilot or flyboy.
Background:Lugo grew up in the space stations that dot the asteroid belt, where from an early age he witnessed constant clashes between the freedom loving communes and the forces of the planetary authorities. Their status as enemies was drilled into him, and so like many others who began careers as shipmen and pilots, it was not long before he turned his hand to piracy, and the plunder of the rich League ships that plied the system. If they were the enemy, robbing them was not only acceptable, but commendable, as was smuggling goods past their quarantine and evading tariffs for that matter. He rose quickly within the ranks of the pirate clan he had joined, and only a few years ago, he achieved the status of captain, one of the lords of the Kayshaan clan. He is now one of the most powerful men in the clan, and a potent force out on the belt who demands fear and respect.
Connections with other PCs:Well, it's fairly easy to see how Lugo and Hesse could have run into one another, and obviously they are unlikely allies, though as is often the case with those on either side of the law, they have a fair amount in common. Of course, both could be very useful to one another if they could get past their prejudices in the name of a common cause. In any case, they'd almost certainly know each other and know how to get in contact.
Admittedly, it's much harder to see how he would come into contact with an Inquisitor.
