Thaif Highwinder is something of a ne'er-do-well - a half-breed from 'other armpit' of the galaxy who makes his living as a swoop racer, part-time smuggler, and all-time gambler. He is brash, charming, more than curious and loves nothing more than high speeds and equally high stakes. If he is not actively looking for trouble, it's because trouble has already found him (and wants its money back).
