Deneth claims that his family descends from a hero from before the Gap. This is difficult to check, especially when you consider that he was a technomancer on Absolom Station and might well have had an opportunity to modify records.

He left Absolom station in haste with a group of mercenaries due to offending a duelist there. They taught him enough discipline to not make the same mistake again and made considerable use of his abilities; a little bit of ‘animal’ (magic) can be very useful. They were less concerned about his personal fighting ability, guns for hire are easier to get than spellcasters in general. After seeing the effects he could work on modern devices Deneth tries very hard to rely on analog devices to avoid the same happening to him.

The mercenaries, Todd’s Deaths, were generally successful enough until their last job when most were lost fighting some outsiders while coming back from the Vast. The odds against this seem substantial and Deneth would like to investigate, but he has no leads. The company broke up after returning due to the losses, including of their leader Todd, leaving Deneth at a loose end.

Deneth still likes to see people embarrassed, he's just more disciplined about how and when to do it. He's also a bit self-aggrandising.

Following orders has become second nature to him after years as a merc. He'd have to think to not do so.

He has a virtual girlfriend in his computer. Any real girlfriend would have to deal with the competition,.

Long term he'd like to find what happened to his company, but I'm not sure that'll matter in a one-shot.

It’s been said that non-full, 9-level casters need to rely on more than spells, but I’m fairly sure that’s wrong by 10th level. Most of his spells don’t rely on saves so the lack of super-high save DCs isn’t a problem (21-22 doesn’t look terrible anyway), and with the energise spell magic hack he has what amounts to the arcane bond ability (charging jolt allows the reverse process if required). Heavy armor plus the odd spell should keep him from being taken down easily. The saves look poor admittedly. Edit: swapped tech countermeasures for spell countermeasures for that exact reason.

The spells have been picked to have viable combat options at all levels from 2+ and to cover as much utility as possible.

Aside from heavy armor proficiency and spell penetration those feats are largely space fillers and could be easily changed. Amplified glitch represents his history on Absolom station and toughness is something the mercs beat into Deneth, but neither is important mechanically.

As Lashunta - dropped a couple of skills to half ranks, replaced Mobility & Agile Casting w/Great Fortitude, Con -2 & Cha +2, replaced telepathic message w/mending, added SLAs.
