A sterupican, an alien of the asteroid belt, Egum lived a hard life getting by on his quick talking and hard negotiating. He never met a deal he couldn’t finagle to his own advantage. Meeting Muadhnait, he found someone who was his match, and the two struck a deal to become obscenely rich together. They eventually decided, after stealing and scheming millions, to go back to the Green Moon and enjoy life as farmers… with a few deals on the side.
