Character
Lazaro Koltai
Koltai is the kind of freighter captain who can sell you a sob story and a workaround in the same breath, and he is rarely lying about both. He is clever, smooth-talking, and self-interested, but he has lines he will not cross once real people start bleeding.
Koltai knows how the system actually functions at the shipping level, where procedure becomes a weapon, and he has learned to survive by staying one step ahead of it.
