Marcel Clairveau

Marcel Clairveau was a pilot and captain of the NCA Wendy Jay at the time of the Deepsix Incident.

Early life
Marcel Clairveau was born on Pinnacle, the second child to be born there. While the first child born outside Earth's solar system received several gifts, including a free education, Marcel received nothing; an incident his father regularly reminded him about. Despite being born on Pinnacle, Marcel spent most of his life in Paris.

During his adolescence, he was a difficult student, so much so that at age 14, a teacher recommended he apply for unemployment benefits and "get in line early". At some point, his father enrolled him in a college in Lyon specialising in difficult children, where he was introduced to Voltaire. In his sophomore year there, one of his math instructors expressed unwavering confidence in him, something Marcel later considered one of the reasons for his ambition.

During his young adult years, his father died unexpected, during a time when Marcel was still unsure about what to do with his life. During this time, Marcel was also rejected by one Valerié Guischard, who told him she wouldn't date a man with no future. After this, he became a superluminal pilot, ferrying supplies and equipment to Quraqua for Kosmik Inc., although he considered its management autocratic and incompetent. After working with Kosmik for some time, he became embarrassed to reveal to people who his employer was, and quit to become a flight instructor at Overflight. A short time later, he applied and was hired for a pilot job at the Academy of Science and Technology. He worked there until at least 2223.
