Months later he stumbled into an Army training outpost one evening, not understanding what the soldiers were asking, he just held up a scrap of paper bearing one word ‘Buckshot’, and so the boy got his name. When the time came for the army unit to leave Mirriam a kindly soldier, Sergeant Mackowski, decided to take the boy home and to bring him up as his son.
The flight back to Camp Rico in the planetoid belt made an indelible mark on the boy and he grew up wanting to spend his life in space and at eighteen he enlisted in the local subsector navy, much to the disappointment of Sgt. Mackowski who had hoped he would join the army.

Orphaned as a child Vann was forced to fend for himself at an early age until he picked up by a group of extremists in the backwoods of Bendor/Glisten, who forced him to follow their xenophobic rules. Vann always felt that their regime was wrong but what could he do as a child. His life was to change though when the group finally picked on a another extremist group that was stronger than them, left for dead he was finally found by peace enforcers who came to investigate the reports of gunfire and smoke in the woods. Taken into care Vann found himself being moved from one foster home to another, before finally coming of age and being able to join the Marines.
