Benny Bang

Benny Bang was a traveling smuggler and marketeer who, during the time of the Red, dealt in all kinds of illicit material, from organic meat to Corpo-tech weaponry. He wandered the Open Roads of the American West in a gun truck known as the Bang Mobile.

Background
Once upon a time, Benny Bang—who didn't always go by that name—was a rising power broker on the payroll of Militech International Armaments, the most powerful defense firm in the world. A textbook over-achiever, he screwed over a lot of people on that climb up the corpo ladder, but he'd ultimately grow too ambitious and be backstabbed by a Junior Exec himself.

Framed as a corporate spy by his many enemies and subsequently blackballed by every major company in the nation, Benny was thrust as far from the corporate rat-race as imaginable. Trading his condo for an armored RV, Bang began a life on the open road where, against all odds, he thrived as a smuggler and merchant, forming beneficial connections in towns and Nomad Packs across the western states.

Thus, Benny Bang became well-known within the Solo community, pegged as a reliable arms dealer and gunsmith for street mercs, bounty hunters, and road warriors. For those who could prove themselves useful to him, Bang was willing to provide a host of discounts and information as well as a look at his secret inventory: an arsenal of rare hardware stolen from Militech as a final insult to the Megacorp that cast him aside.
