Michael West

Michael West was a grey hat hacker for the criminal organization know as Shadow Thieves. Starting out as a petty thief, he would pickpocket from the wealthy and often got into trouble with local authorities, but would evade them out of dumb luck. He would pass time learning computer skills from a group of white hat hackers and built his own organization to help others, including himself learn the skills of a hacker. When a local criminal gang destroyed his business, he fled to a nearby city, and studied courses related to hacking. He viewed himself as a vigilante and hacked from banks and credit unions to steal enough money to help the homeless and those in need. Still wanted by the authorities, he fled to an unknown colony where he would buy a safe house and wait for thing to cool down on Earth.
