Vega Claspfoot¶

Biography¶

Vega Claspfoot was a male Tiss'shar scholar and businessman from his native planet Tiss'sharl. Born Peanuts Sifr, he took a very different path to his brother Jon.

Finding the allure of Corporate Business the greatest adventure of all, he threw his all into establishing and growing his own business. With ruthless guile, and intuitive alliances, he built a thriving vacuum-droid corporation: Claspfoot & No-Co. Hoovers.

Over the years he built a respectable fortune. With no attachments he felt emboldened to take risks others wouldn't, and most of the time they paid off. Celebrating a successful new merger, he was out celebrating with absolutely no one as he had no friends, and found himself at once exceptionally hungry, but, alas, had lost his wallet. He entered his favourite burger cantina, asked to see the manager — a mutual acquaintance — and demanded a free burger.

The burger-raptor manager was a hard nut to crack, and the exasperated Peanuts — by then, using his work moniker "Vega Claspfoot" — asked what it would take. The manager said he'd give Vega five burgers WITH extra pickles if he could take a controlling share of the stocks in Claspfoot & No-Co. Hoovers. Vega accepted.

After the decision, it was clear a burger shop owner knew nothing about hoovers. One bad decision followed another, which Vega was powerless to stop. To compound matters, the Burger-raptor had even worse taxes than Vega, and the increased scrutiny led to his own shortcomings being discovered.

Facing a tax evasion conviction, and a now failing business, he took matters into his own claws. Namely, the Claspfoot & No-Co. Hoovers' employee pension fund. Then he ran.

He decided the best way to clean the money and disappear was through what he'd done his whole life, unofficially: gambling. For real. He should not have bet the majority all on Red 36. Now, he’s on the run. From the Burger-Raptor, from his hoover employees, and worst of all: from the Tax-raptors.
