Background
Logan grew up in a large city on the coast, with a large spaceport. Son of a fisherman, the sea was in his blood. In his youth he befriended Veigur An, a star-child - someone born and raised in space - who frequently came with his parents to the docks to obtain the freshest seafood. In his 12th year, he was permitted to spend the summer on Veigur's family freighter as it made trade runs. This happened again in his 14th year. This coming of age story is too long to explain here, but it resulted in a comical tattoo on his back.
After leaving home at 16, Logan got himself a job through a friend on the Caducan fishing vessel Good Intentions. The Good Intentions was a Cambarid Catcher, hunting the elusive delicacy living underneath Caducus's enourmous ice flows. He was an able seaman, but fortune was not smiling upon the ship's owner, and the ship lost it's license to hunt. After making and losing vast quantities of money, Logan found himself penniless and hungry at the age of 26.
Figuring the spacing life wasn't much different than a submersible Catcher, he hung about landside watering holes until he convinced Bran Balm to hire him onto the Salvage Star as a hand. The salvaging life proved to be quite similar in many respects to Catching. Captain Balm showed him the basics of ship handling, a skill Logan discovered himself to be a natural at. This was nothing new to Logan, who knew he could do anything he set his mind to. They plied the space lanes, looking for the good stuff, tossing out the junk, wooing the ladies, and getting in a shooting match or three.
Logan found himself becoming more of the go-to person than the Captain for solving small problems. They soon started coming to him for advice on personal problems, as he had a knack for making people feel as confident as he feels about himself.
