Person of Interest: Hotaka Kita

Hotaka Kita is a Mercenary captain originally born on Tella 4. He was quickly outcast and joined the Manticorian Marines, and enjoyed a prestigious military career, that included the daring boarding of the pirate cruiser Interference which was famously stolen from the Ecuadorian Orbital Fleet in 3185.

Continued problems with public violence would eventually see Kita drummed out of the Marines, with a dishonorable discharge, Afterwards, Kita started a Mercenary company called Kita's Lions. Never consisting of a large amount of members, Kita's Lion quickly became one of the most feared combat groups in the entire sector. Known for their grit and recklessness, the Lions typically are all outfitted in power armor, and use mainly shock force tactics to overwhelm opponents.

Hotaka has enjoyed a life of infamy without gaining much in the way of a criminal record. He is generally considered to be "above the law," as few governments would risk damaging their reputation with the captain, or to encourage his wrath.
