Background
Ruchard is a human male and was born on New Scotland. He had a number of brushes with the law starting as a teen but never served any time and was quickly recruited by the Orion Syndicate. He moved around a lot, advancing quickly up the ladder until he was put in charge of his own crew. When the Federation started cracking down on the Syndicate he branched out and joined the Black Daggers, an independent sub-group within the Orion Syndicate.
He is known to be active within the Trinity Sector as well as other sections and regions of the Federation.
He was the leader of a strike force of Maquis Reborn terrorists who captured several members of the USS Constitution-B's senior staff while they were aboard Deep Space 285 in 2392.
His strike team consisted of: Haren Det a female Terran and electronics expert who was secretly a Section 31 operative. Mark Hamp, a male Terran who was hired muscle and a skilled weapons expert. Shinsa, an extremely tall female Betazoid and hired muscle and Avine de Massard a Terran female and former Starfleet scientist female who was planted as a spy aboard the USS Constitution-B.
Personality
His name has turned up in connection to a number of criminal organizations such as the Orion Syndicate and the Trinity Sector criminal group the Black Daggers but most recently, he has been associated with the Maquis Reborn. One of his oldest known associates is Kav-Nhoo.
He is thought to be extremely intelligent and has been linked to a number of very successful robberies. Many experts believe that is his area of expertise. He is believed to be emotionally detached, completely amoral, loyal in his own way but dedicated to his own agenda. He has proven to be very slippery as he has been arrested a number of times but has never been found guilty of any charge.
Hostage Situation on Deep Space 285
The real mastermind behind this attack was Ruchard who with months of preparation led his team onto Deep Space 285 on different shuttles to avoid detection. He was disguised within a lifelike costume of Kav-Nhoo, a Moropan criminal and thug that he had worked with a number of times in the past. Their mission, it seemed, was to capture senior crewmembers of the USS Constitution-B and vital information from the station's information servers. With lightning speed, they took the Infirmary, where the Ruchard posing as Kav-Nhoo quickly murdered an innocent Bolian nurse.
As the situation played out, Ruchard/Kav-Nhoo demonstrated his wanton violence and foul nature, being abusive to the hostages both physically and mentally, at one point shooting Commander Tal Tel-ar and nearly killing him and toying with the station's commander Glim Kyyrampa as she attempted to negotiation the hostages release. Once Haren Det had hacked the station's systems, the strike team teleported to a pre-arranged position and made for their shuttle.
At this point, it was revealed that Kav-Nhoo was actually a mysterious criminal leader with some unknown connection to the Maquis Reborn named Ruchard. He had been wearing an incredibly sophisticated replica of Kav-Nhoo's body. He explained that Kav-Nhoo was actually being held in a Klingon prison and their entire mission had been designed to drive a wedge between Starfleet and the Klingon Empire. At this point, Haren Det betrayed her colleagues and teleported off the escaping shuttle and back to Deep Space 285, where she revealed her identity.
Ruchard and the other members escaped from justice.
Current Whereabouts
