Gand was born on the planet Gand 25 years ago. Unlike his friends, Gand's parents made him attend the Gand Academy from when he was 5 until he was 22. At the academy he studied in an Engineering/Technical field. He took classes on the design of weapons, starships, and computer systems. His favorite class was Gym, where he learned how to shoot blasters and other complicated weapons. As a young adult, Gand got an internship at Gand Industries where he worked until he finished at the Academy.

Gand had a pretty difficult life growing up. Gand's parents were handicapped in a fight with some local Gand when Gand was a small Gandling. As a result, they were unable to work to provide food or money for the family. Gand's uncle, Gand, decided to help the family out by donating some of the money that he made while bounty hunting to them. Uncle Gand spent a lot of time away from the family, but when he returned, he always had great stories to tell.

Gand loved listening to his uncle's bounty hunting tales. When he finished school, he decided to train under his uncle in the art of bounty hunting. His uncle trained him in the ancient findsman ceremony ritual. After a few months of training, Uncle Gand took Gand on his first mission. The mission was not dangerous, and the prey was a young man who stole a starship from his home planet. He learned the art of tracking a bounty as they moved on to bigger and badder bounties.

At age 24, Uncle Gand decided that it was time to retire. He had plenty of money to support himself and the family, and he was injured in a fight against another bounty hunter, so decided that it was time to let Gand go out on his own. He allowed Gand to use his ship, "Uncle Gand's Denture", to fly missions.

Gand went out and got an IPKC bounty hunting license, and then started his hunting missions. After several missions, he received a message about a bounty hunting opportunity to find some noble. This is where his career takes off.....
