Turb Yern

Turb Yern is a space port owner who grew up an orphan on Absalom Station. He helped the crew by building the Lady of Fortune and set them on their way not before a few kind words and inspiration.

Persona
Turb is a 123 year old dwarf man with augmented left arm he lost in an accident while sporting a blacksmith apron and mohawk. The former he's kept for years after a friggin' sweet chick complimented him one time on it. He's very friendly, even as a child, he used this to advantage for years in business and in his past nefarious dealings. If greasy Brooklyn uncle was a personality, that's him.

Meeting the Crew
As a decades old favour with Baba he was set to make a starship for the crew.

Shady Past
As explained by Turb, he ran with Baba in the past on her crew doing petty crimes like B&Es, pick pockets, and arson jobs. Until he was injured in an accident losing an arm. Baba seeing his potential as an engineer and general handyman, she helped him get out of the racket after fitted with his augmentations showing her softer side. But with many things through Baba there was a catch, she used him to launder credits, move and store contraband when needed.

The deal was struck with a shiny new arm and a legitimate business by running one of the many space ports on Absalom Turb more and more moved away from crime and made a decent name for his craft of working with ships.

Smuggling Port
Turb had agreed after the crew acquired the bar to act as a entrance for the smuggling side of the business.
