Biography[edit]

Sephiroth originally joined the Emperor's Hammer under a different alias, but his career did not truly begin until he returned from reserves to join his old friend Locke Setzer as a member of Inferno Squadron. When Locke was assigned as the new commander of Tempest Squadron, Sephiroth followed him, becoming Flight Leader of Flight 2 and his unofficial squadron executive officer.

Sephiroth would later return to Inferno Squadron as its new commander, before eventually taking over the role of Wing Commander of Wing X when Mairin Astoris ascended to Commodore of the Challenge. When he turned evidence against Mairin in the trial accusing her of harboring expelled member Mirei Seppen, it was decided that it would be inappropriate for him to succeed Mairin as Commodore, and instead Charles Spencer was appointed as the new Challenge Commodore. However, the mass exodus of the Dark Brotherhood soon followed, and Charles Spencer was recalled to take command of the Avenger. As a result, Sephiroth would end up taking over the Challenge after all.

He fulfilled the role for eight months until he resigned, citing burn-out. However, he soon returned to the fleet as the new commodore of the Colossus, bringing along his long-time ally Locke Setzer as his new Wing Commander.

All was not well at the Challenge however. When Battlegroup Commander Mell Kerrigan decided to fire both flag officers on the Challenge, he gave Sephiroth and Locke the opportunity to return home. Sephiroth accepted the offer, with a caveat - he preferred to return as a Wing Commander, and not as a Commodore.

As such, Sephiroth resumed the position of Wing Commander for Wing X. After a month of service, he opted to again return to the Reserves.

Throughout his career, Sephiroth was a fixture on the Undernet channels for the Challenge and Wing X. He was the owner of #wing_x, which replaced #isd_challenge for a time after Mairin's trial. His seemingly uninterrupted IRC presence gave him a reputation among some pilots as a "ghost in the machine".
