Background:
Palles Rex was a foundling child, as all Justicars, when his father, Anfortas Rex, recognized potential in him and took him in. He was raised in the Way, to believe in moral truth as his path. He studied history and sciences as they travelled aboard an old freighter, the Corbenic, which housed data repositories passed down from before the destruction of Doon. He learned -- his father's apprentice as a peacekeeper when such was needed, moving ever on when it was not. Palles, however, balked at the vows against personal ties that the Way required -- that he never marry, never give himself to love, never father children of his blood which would conflict with his duty to foundling charges. He married a girl, Emily Rose, and he raised two sons and a daughter in the Way, eventually shooting to defend his teen son even when he knew his son was the criminal. When Retribution came back upon him, he lost them all. He saw Emily Rose shot and their home burn, lit by those who discovered how to hurt him. He never went back inside, and he hasn't ever kept a home since. He is closer to the Way now, better than ever in his life, but he struggles to believe in it. Fatherhood and loss left him seeing shades of gray that make the moral truths less clear. Society has order, but not goodness, and there's not enough gunslingers to change it anymore. He knows he is the last, unable to father foundlings to continue the truth of the Justicars to a new generation. He can't teach while he doesn't believe, and he fears the loss happening again. So he travels, a graying old man taking gig-work and stilling shipboard gin, escaping his loss and seeking something to make him believe again.
Justicar's Mantra:
“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”
He has a real block-chain ID as Pelles Rex that goes back 50+ years, but he goes to lengths to avoid using it. It likely identifies him about 30 years ago being pegged as an actual Justicar, linked to his 'father' who is also pegged as an actual Justicar, and at the GM's discretion could have 'person of interest' flags on him by various governments accordingly. His real block chain would show no transactions in the last 30 years. He has a fake ID as 'Rex Patris,' with a fake tail 30+ years old and 25 years of legitimate transactions as a smallhold farmer, but perhaps also with 'person of interest' flags for the arson of the home or crimes related to his children. He's not carrying a compad, works in cash, and travelling as a hired hand on other people's work-jobs, so may or may not have new false ID he's used in the last five years.
If we have some kind of embedded chip that is scanned for official transactions, he probably wears some kind of leather cuff containing the scrambler for his second or third ID (or whatever mechanism the GM likes). But he wouldn't have removed his original ID; it's too important to him and he hasn't committed to forever severing his origin.
