Otto von Sampson

Captain Otto von Sampson is the captain of the airship, Skycutter.

Backstory
Otto von Sampson was never a friend of the empire. He spent 15 years working as a law enforcement officer within the skycity, "Hammerhead". His partner and best friend was Jet Gates. During his last raid, Otto was heavily injured. He went blind in one eye, lost one of his arms, and had trouble breathing. His partner was never seen again, presumed to be dead.

Otto spiraled into depression and nearly drank himself to death. He met a woman named Alice, and together they had a daughter, Maria.

His daughter, Maria, always had a knack for all things mechanical, and even one day build clockwork replacements for Otto's eye and arm.

On his daughter's 14th birthday, his wife Alice was murdered in cold blood. The killer was never caught. Otto found out that it was someone hired by the Empire, and he swore he would find out who.

Taking what cash Otto had left, he and Maria bought an airship, hired a pirate crew, and swore they would make the empire pay for what they did to his wife.

After suffering several setbacks and losses, Otto and Maria, along with the remnants of his pirate crew, broke into the emperial capital, set several charges and destroyed many of the imperial labs and workshops. On his way out, he stole one of their experimental airships and named it the skycutter. It was faster than anything else, plus it had some sort of experimental device that allowed their escape, nearly instantaneously. Unfortunately this device burned out after one use, but Otto is sure that Maria can figure it out...

The empire's relentlessness knows no bounds, and surely Otto will pay for his crimes against the Empire.
