Finian's family had always been moderate Vilis supporters, being a family who had not been as downtrodden as some of the others on the planet. For this reason, Finian's family had also been better off than most of the population of Garda-Vilis and so he had managed to get a good education and had good job prospects. When he was ready to leave school he went on to become an agent for the Garda-Vilis government, specialising in gaining intelligence.
He wasn't sure why, maybe it was due his origins - he was sure that there was some sick-minded personnel of the Vilis government who loved to see people from the same society pitted against each other - but he was assigned to gather information on the Tanoose Freedom League, a job he was not exactly thrilled about. It was during this assignment that his life became endangered; he had managed to find out certain information that the TFL didn’t want known, information that caused them to want to rid their world of him.
Of course, surely the Garda-Vilis government would want to protect him, or at least so he thought, but the people he worked with certainly didn’t see him – due to his origins – as their equal and could neither care less about the information he had learned or his life. He left his career, much to his annoyance, and sought out a new life, one that would not cause for him to fear for his safety.
He left Garda-Vilis, knowing that there was no real way that he could make a living there and stay under the radar. He joined with a scavenger crew and left the Imperial controlled space, moving instead to the Vargr Extents where he knew it would be nigh on impossible for him to be found. Things were going well for him there, he seemed to have dipped under the radar of the TFL, work was going well and he had managed to find himself in a relationship with someone whom he absolutely adored. Then it all went sour, he might have loved her but she obviously didn’t love him. When she learned of the danger he had been in previously she decided that she might be able to make something of the situation and betrayed his location to the TFL. He wanted badly to confront her, to make her pay for selling him out, but he found that he couldn’t. He left the Vargr Extents soon after that, when it was confirmed that he could no longer live their, the TFL making yet another attempt on his life, and so he left in search of somewhere else that he could find safety.
He invested in a small ship, figuring that it would be the best option if he needed to make a quick getaway from anyone who might try and remove him from play. He had found during his time in the Vargr Extents that scavenging was a career which he quite liked, and so that’s what he decided he would do with his ship. A crew was hired, and although Finian believed that he was safe with them there was always this niggling feeling that they might backstab him as he had experienced previously. It was for this reason that he gave them a percentage of the profits of the ship – he of course made sure that the ship’s costs were paid before he divided the funds – ten percent in fact, as a way of keeping them happy and making sure that should they ever learn about his status that they would have good reason to want to keep it secret.
Personality: When Finian started in life he was born into a rather well off family, his parents’ views of those beneath him in the social chain rubbing off and making him just a tad snobbish. However, when he entered his job and felt first hand how this kind of snobbery could affect someone’s life he loosened up slightly, though not that much. The real u-turn came when he found his life in danger and he had to give up all those little extras that he’d had in life just to stay alive, that really put his life in perspective. Now he is much more understanding of people’s uniqueness, more respectful of them, but he is also a lot more wary of them, he’s been stabbed in the back once and so he doesn’t quite feel like going through a similar experience again.

I had a look over the traveller.wikia link that you posted and had a glance over some of the items, putting down a couple that I thought would be handy. I'm not too sure about any specific personal weapons, got any suggestions?
