Born as Sir Mertin son of the Baron of the East Chambers, Stiles lived a life on convenience and privilege. He was given a good education from private tutors. He did not rank high enough to be tutored by the Scribes who held the ancient Sindali knowledge, but he was tutored by knowledgeable men and women. He showed promise and took to his schooling very well according to his tutors so he was enrolled in the University of Drinax on board the Space Station orbiting Drinax. He gravitated towards computers and excelled at Debate Club although his father warned him not to pursue anything as vulgar as the Law. 
In his last year of University he was planetside for the birthday celebration of his father. King Oleb has managed to bring many years of prosperity to the once dwindling kingdom and Stiles had watched this first hand from the viewpoint of the Space Station. He had seen the distasteful men who robbed from the weak and gave to the crown after taking their share. He had heard of Lady Bancraft and met her a few times in passing, notable at a party held by King Oleb which his father had insisted he attend, and knew this was a path to folly. He had even started an anonymous blog on the nets about everything happening but it gained no following. When things are good there is no public appetite for voices speaking out against the price of that prosperity.
But then the Aslan attacked. he watched from the birthday celebration as missiles launched from the planet at an unknown enemy. The alarms sounded and chaos reigned. The family rushed back to the East Chamber where they learned that the Aslan were attacking in force. Stiles knew this was a death sentence for the kingdom and he begged his father to flee from the Floating City but he refused. Instead he had his men at arms force Stiles down in his place. "The future of my line will survive!" is what his father had told him before he was dragged to an air car.
He was taken in by Botho Mertin, an uncle on his father's side who had been disowned for mysterious reasons, and given safe harbor and a cover story as an employee in his News Network. The DDN (Drinax Democratic Network) was considered to be a socialist rag that spouted anti-royalist propaganda. Stiles had no idea that his uncle owned the network. Now his status with the family made more sense. Uncle Botho ended up taking in other children for noble relatives and adjusting the books to show them as Interns for several years.
In the months that followed the young scions of Drinax did their best to stay under the radar. Rumors began that nobles had escaped the floating city and the Aslan administrators, shrewd women who saw the threat that a noble uprising might bring, started a systemic search for the children. Uncle Botho was soon targeted and after they took him away for questioning, he returned and pointed out each child to be taken away by the Aslan Occupation. Stiles was taken back to the Floating City and tortured for the locations of other Nobles. He told them all he could, but he really didnt know anything of value. The interrogators left to obtain some sort of drug to use on him when an Aslan female took her turn at interrogation. She beat him senseless then left the room. In his dazed state he almost didnt realize the straps had been loosened. Perhaps it was from all the beating. He let himself free and found a ceiling panel which he had used to sneak around the inside walls of the floating palace. Few knew that the walls were hollow in an attempt by the builders to reduce weight on the grav plates.
Stiles escaped the Floating City in a stolen Aslan shuttle and set about trying to tear down the Aslan. He found allies who would hide him and computers thrown out by nobles as prosperity allowed them to upgrade and trash the old models. His blog was not popular as he had to hide it from the Aslan but physical copies would occasionally spread around. He was soon approached by a beautiful woman who used him to investigate and pull knowledge from Aslan systems. It was only after that he learned that she was a member of the Resistance. Over the next few years he assisted them and spread information through his followers to help turn the people against the Aslan. 
The tipping point that made him almost a household name was when he recorded a riot where humans were protesting a new law against public assembly following an attempted attack on the Governor by terrorists.  Two Aslan nobles took to the street and tried to intimidate the crowd into standing down. They were swarmed and shaved hairless by the laughing crowd. The embarrassing moment was caught by Stiles and soon he found that the Aslan clan leaders from the video were hunting him down. He sought out Anton Black to give him shelter while it settled down leaving the blog to his subordinates.
