Personality: Trent portrays himself as a self-sufficient smuggler with a caustic wit; he claims he only looks out for number one, but he has been known to risk his life for complete strangers on occasion, if he felt the situation required it. He can be kind and caring, although he usually tries to cover up such actions by claiming that they might help him to gain a profit later. He has an odd habit of talking to himself.

History: Trent was born on a ship. His parents were part of a gang of space pirates, and were arrested when he was 9 years old. He was placed in a 'rehabilitation program', which did him more harm than good. He escaped from the program at the age of 15 and stowed away on a ship bound for Miranda.

Naturally, not much time went by before he was discovered. The owner of the ship, Vash Corin, decided to let Trent stay on as a cabin boy, of sorts. Trent soon discovered that Vash was involved in smuggling, but decided that it was no worse than his parents' jobs had been and threw himself into the work wholeheartedly. He had a knack for piloting the ship, as well as good instincts about whether someone was trustworthy or not. Vash was pleased by this, and taught Trent everything he knew.

The two were an unbeatable team for nearly 12 years, but Vash made a deal with a group of corrupt Roman soldiers. Trent felt uneasy about it, but played down his fears, as he had absolutely no facts to base them on like he usually did. When Trent and Vash touched down at the coordinates they had been given with their cargo, they were ambushed. Trent managed to fly the ship back out, but not before he got shot in the shoulder and Vash got shot in the chest. Trent survived; Vash didn't.

Trent was distraught; he continued on in the smuggling business, but his decisions were now based on instinct and paranoia, whether it was justified or not. He lived that way for eight years. Then he was hired to do his first smuggling run for the Underground.
