Benny, the “mad bastard of mechanics”, salvaged the wreck of the old Tsarevna Rho, breathed new life into the old heap and took her into Frontier 316.
Benny was born and raised on Akiton in the midst of a junkyard. His earliest memories included tearing down rusting tech for valuable raw materials. These early experiences led to curiosity about machines and their functions.
Before long, the young ysoki was studying the machines he disassembled. Then reassembling them. Then reassembling them with improvements. Then hiring himself out to repair broken gear.
After a shaky landing, the owner of the Tsarevna Rho, Hugh Barstead, sought a competent engineer to affect repairs on the old rustbucket. Having just finished building his drone Myrtle, Benny jumped at the chance.

Appearance
Apparel & Accessories
Spanner's wardrobe can be best described as just this side of a rag barrel. In his defense, he does buy nice clothing when he can afford it, but these items invariably wind up grease stained, tattered and grubby in short order smply due to his work.
One feature is constant, however: the pockets will be stuffed with various electronics, bolts, tools and gear necessary for the job at hand.
Specialized Equipment
Three items of note bear mentioning. First, Spanners' drone Myrtle is a Medium combat drone, specifically designed to protect its master (although currently has no weapons in its mounts).
Second is the engineering kit fitted with Spanners' custom rig, built around repairing and refitting a starship (in this case, Tsarevna Rho).
Last is Spanners' wrist unit, a Tier 1 computer, hardened, with an artificial personality, Security II and comms unit with a one-mile range.
Mentality
Education
Benny is a practiced autodidact, having learned his skills by doing. He often gives away his lack of formal training by using eccentric terminology for parts and functions.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Benny built Myrtle from scratch.
Morality & Philosophy
Spanners is not much of a moral philosopher, being enamored of technology to the point of indifference for morality. Being driven by seemingly random eddies of curiosity, he neither goes out of his way to help, nor harm, others.
person.sexuality
Benny's obsessions generally don't tend to the carnal. He does acknowledge having had a former lover, but says little about it other than to say they were drawn in different directions.
Known Languages
Benny is fluent in Akitonian, Castrovelian, Common, Dwarven, Kasatha, Vesk, and Ysoki.
