Background
Born in Hong Kong to a Japanese father and a Chinese mother, Keith
Kogane moved with his family to the US when he was three years old.
At age six Keith's father began training him in kung fu, and continued
for six more years; then, tragically, not long after Keith's twelfth
birthday, both his parents died in an accident. Moving in with an
aunt and uncle, Keith coped with his loss by plunging himself more
deeply into martial arts training, expanding from kung fu to t'ai-chi,
jujjitsu, aikido, and every other discipline for which he could find
a teacher.
Unsure of his future, at age eighteen Keith unlisted in the United
States Marine Corps; he soon came to love the perfect discipline and
order the Corps offered him, and spent several years as a field reconnaissance
specialist, earning several commendations in the process.
When he was 24 Keith met a young woman named Beverly Hagel while
on furlogh in New York City; shortly thereafter he transferred out
of his recon assignment to a permanent position at a base near where
Beverly worked, and within three months Keith asked her to marry him
Seven weeks before their wedding date, Beverly was killed in an airplane
accident.
Since then, Keith has been on a kind of numbed autopilot, working
an administrative job during the day and teaching martial arts in
the evenings, waiting for his life to take shape and make sense again.
It begins to when he receives a visit from a Galaxy Garrison officer
named Hawkins...
