Background:

Born and raised on Absalom Station, the young boy showed remarkable aptitude with technology from a very early age. He also inherited his father's quick reflexes, and spent a good deal of his time playing video games competitively. His father was a successful starship racer, winning many competitions until his tragic death when Stiehle was still in his early teens. Though it was ruled an accident, there were some who suspected sabotage, and the young, impressionable boy become obsessed with finding out who was responsible.

When he was seventeen, Stiehle became a racer himself, though mainly to try and find out who killed his father than out of any true love of the sport. Unfortunately, the trail ran cold fairly quickly, and the young man was left frustrated and angry at the injustice of it all. Though Stiehle proved to be a formidable pilot in his own right, his sharp mind and fast reflexes were potent assets for another career as well. The Acquisitives recruited him when he turned twenty-one, and the young man served the faction well as a field agent in the years following the Scoured Stars Incident, when the Starfinders as a whole lost many good assets.

However, the promised fame and wealth offered by the Acquisitives faction are but secondary objectives to Stiehle, for what he truly craves is making connections and gaining knowledge - using those important resources to learn who was behind his father's death. And then he will take action...
