Backstory
=================================
Ephraim Cole’s father was Navy Lieutenant Hunter Cole, who was assigned to the training division at Moonbase Thoth. As fate would have it Lieutenant Cole was dispatched to Pyt-2 for routine training thirty-six years ago, days before the events that became known as the incident occurred. On the morning he left Lieutenant Cole’s wife informed him that he would be a father in eight months so he should hurry back. However, that was not to be, Lieutenant Cole, along with all the others on Pyt-2, was never heard from again. This unfortunate turn of events left Ephraim’s mother, Kia, alone in her efforts to raise and provide for her unborn child.
Fortunately, his mother was a survivor and quickly found work as part of a scavenger crew. Although, she was able to balance work and raising Ephraim they barely scraped by. Over the years Ephraim’s mother taught him how to survive by using his wits and to make do with the resources available. Unfortunately, when Ephraim was eighteen, he got a chance to put his mother’s lessons to the test as she passed away after developing cancer caused by too much radiation exposure.
Since his mother’s death Ephraim has wandered from job to job, earning a living by cannibalizing old equipment, salvaging parts, or repairing what he could.

Connections
=================================
Estelle Beaumont – Busted bones, scrapes, burns, and torn muscles are a common part of life as a Scavenger. So it should come as no surprise that Cole has been under the care of Doctor Estelle Beaumont on more than one occasion. Perhaps he has been a bit too quick in seeking care from the good doctor but he enjoys her keen wit and inquisitive mind.
Marcus Aurelius Carter – Cole has been questioned by Officer Carter several times and has ran into him even more times in the course of the security officers duties. Time and time again Cole has been surprised by the man’s passion and determination in keeping Thoth safe and secure. Over time Cole has developed a grudging respect for the meticulous officer
Emilyene Shadye – Ephraim has, on more than one occasion, located parts for Emilyene to help her keep the core systems of the base active. They've developed a working relationship where she turns a blind eye to where the parts come from, and he has someone that will come out to the fringes of the base for repairs.
Jasmine Dalrath – Ephraim and Jasmine met a little over a year ago when he was introduced to her by father Rutger. Rutger was always able to get hard to find parts or tools for Ephraim and took time to point Ephraim in the right direction when he had items he wanted to get rid of with little or no questions asked. Although he likes Jasmine, Ephraim doesn’t trust her very much.
