Zymen Tagasalo, born Tagasalo XII by his family, is a Bio-Morph explorer, sociologist, corsair, and war veteran. In the Human Readiness Committee, he is known as the Bio-Morph of Mauritania. With his monarchic ties he is a member of the Nine Sovereigns. A collective term of morphs who once held nobility in the pre-spaceflight era and survive to this day. Sharing it with Clauda Tegeirian, Hans Bayer, Octavian Vali, Klara Tatjana, Legesse Gedeyon and the Karim couple.

Zymen was born into nobility in the Kingdom of Tagasalo. When nearing adulthood he was to be the heir apparent to the throne. He renounced his claim after discovering he would be married off to a noblewoman he disliked. Exiling himself from both the kingdom and empire, he would become a morph corsair. Financing himself through the slave trade. Nearing the age of 1400, he married a Pami slave named Uxori. Fathering two non-morph children. An act that effectively stripped him of his connections to the family.

Post-FGW, Zymen eschewed the corsair profession behind to focus on his family. Settling on Epione although affiliated with the diaspora by reluctance and not choice. With Uxori's death, he went back into the corsair profession. Leaving his only children in the care of non-morph relatives. In 1898, he was handpicked by request of Ivanov Stephashin to join the return to Earth. Chosen as 'warden' of the Transvaal's brig.

History

Life as a Slaver

Zymen had just left the Kingdom to pursue a life of his own choice. Earning the ire of his entire family. He went to the slave stronghold of Zuccabar, located in the independent systems far away from imperial oversight. Getting a position on the slaver vessel Ubaba.

Marriage to Uxori

"Say what you want about slavers, but we have rules. Ethics. Without them, were just mindless criminals." — Zymen to Uxori

Zymen came back from a raid where he and his crew managed to capture several runaway slaves. One of them being a pregnant pami he could sell for extra credits. In his quarters he pondered the continued life as a slaver. Feeling a slight disillusionment with the lifestyle he has been with since he left Mergen. Wanting to see his captures, he called up the aforementioned pami woman. She was shaking in fear of being in the presence of a wanted criminal. One that captured her to bring her back to someone she was running from. Hoping to ease the stress, he covered her in a blanket.
