�Torch� Leibnitz (he expresses an extreme distaste towards being addressed by anything other than his nickname) grew up in the slums of the Houston metroplex, and made a name for himself within the local youth gangs by showing a remarkable affinity for explosives, even as a small child.
Torch was arrested for the first time in 78.2, at age 11, on charges of arson and looting during the Houston riots of that year. He was incarcerated at the high-security Dormitory for Violent Youth near New Orleans. He escaped three years later, and fell in with the Resistance in 81.10.
For the next 12 years, Torch distinguished himself as one of the movement�s most proficient explosives and demolitions experts. However, he fell into Security Cartel hands during a sabotage operation in London in 94.8. Sentenced to conscription for life on Luna, he did not stop his Resistance activities, but soon joined up with the other Resistance sympathizers among the conscript population. His specialized skills have allowed him to earn a position of responsibility and relative trust in the mines, which grants him a certain degree of freedom for Resistance activities.
His demolitions experience made him a natural saboteur for the Resistance. However, the loss of an arm in 95.6, due to a Di-Cor contaminated injury, caused him to largely forgo actual commando operations in favor of mission planning and coordination.
Torch is one of the Resistance�s most effective undercover ops within the conscript population. His special skills make him one of the most dangerous guerrilla operatives on Luna.
