Tord Gamb was a con-artist and gambler who was born on Port Evokk. He was known to have engaged in confidence schemes in the Sluis Van, Bimmisaari, Maphus Tria, Algarra II, and Asmall systems. The New Republic placed a 25,000 credit bounty on his head. Airen Cracken was willing to negotiate with Gamb, offering a job within the Republic, in exchange for his information finding skills.
