 **Biography:** //Former [[Human Unity]] citizen, then an exile at The [[Hub]], looking for work. The timeline in which he originated remains rather dubious due to the messed up or lost HU paperwork (however, there is some minor evidence that points to his timeline's 20th century being frequented by, among other things, aerial piracy and extreme geopolitical balkanization.) Formerly a rather lowly engineer-in-training, his life changed drastically after he was chosen as an 'emergency recruit' and hastily trained as a military atmo-space aviator for a 'smaller border war' waged by Human Unity against the rival multiverse alliance of [REDACTED]. Sheepish and annoyed by what amounted to forced recruitment and a disrespect towards his mostly pacifist nature, he grew tired and jaded by these events. After the war ended, he was allowed to leave the HU Defense Fleet to finish his degrees and move to greener pastures. However, citing his surprisingly impressive flight record in the war, Human Unity recommended him at The Hub for the next multiverse exploration expedition. Wanting to start over, he eventually accepted the obnoxious shilling by the HU, and signed in for the new MES expedition at IAN's office. While his supposed double-ace credentials remain disputed due to the typically convoluted HU bureaucracy, most people trust his capabilities in the field.//  \\ **Biography:** //Former [[Human Unity]] citizen, then an exile at The [[Hub]], looking for work.

-**Biography:** //Some guy hailing from [[offtopic:South Carolina]] of [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?p=8844263#post8844263|a timeline with a surviving CSA]]. Owns a well-preserved Ford Thunderbird look-alike, since 1950s-style cars are still popular in his home timeline (though there is no Ford in the CSA). He left his home TL around the age 22 for some reason. He has little contact with it these days. Some have speculated that his real name is supposedly "Charles Edward Baconheimer III", but he maintains that "Baconheimer" is not a proper part of it, but just a nickname. As he explains, his family is rich in South Carolina, where they control the pork industry. They own a chain of restaurants called "SC Barbeque House", which also has a storefront, selling bacon and other pork products. The restaurant's motto is "A tisket a tasket, a brisket basket". The family's estate is sometimes called "Baconheim", due to it producing so much pork. When Charles Edward left his home timeline, he adopted that nickname as his last name, with an "-er" added. Hence BACONHEIMER... After wandering the multiverse for a while, he joined the services of [[hub|The Hub]] and eventually got the job of the MES-2's main linguist.// \\+**Biography:** //Some guy hailing from [[offtopic:South Carolina]] of [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-8844263|a timeline with a surviving CSA]].
