History

Miguel Medinoche was born sometime around 3086 to Tibor Mitternacht, his legal name is likely Michael Mitternacht though he's gone by several aliases in his lifetime. At 178 cm of height and weighing 70 kgs he has close cropped black hair, "malachite" eyes (his fathers were described as "jade"), a muscular build, and multiple torso scars and tattoos. His left eye is an implant with access to the thermal spectrum, though unlike his father's this one appears to be color matched.

In 3134 as Mitternact he was involved in vigilante action against the anti-Clan Lambrecht based hate group Citizens of the Sphere that left two dead and ten seriously injuried. After this, he operated in the Occupation Zones as muscle for a smuggling operation under his Mikhail Polnach alias. In 3136 as Mitternact again he used the LinkNet service to reach out to Yeska Riviera (going by the alias Johann Berwyn) suggesting a meet at Bidwell Tavern in Alrakis' capital Tarowana, claiming a mutual connection that was likely their parents. Shortly after the meeting, the two stole a ST-64C DropShuttle, assaulting Alrakis law enforcement in the process. Following their escape on a Scout-class Jumpship waiting for them at a lunar pirate point, a sector-wide alert for their arrest was put out. Preceeding or concurrent with this his Mikhail Polnach alias was sought as a person of interest (either as a witness or participant) in a failed assassination attempt of Galaxy Commander Lars Magnusson who was stioned on Alrakis with Alpha Galaxy as peacekeepers.

His Polnach identity was rumored to come from a fanatical neo-Blakist family, which both explained both his bionic implants and MechWarrior training as well as deflected scrutiny from his familial opposition to the Word of Blake. As Polnach once again he made his way to Solaris VII where his brutality in and out of the arena earned him some notoriety. Looking like an outlaw and not afraid of using that to his advantage he can be found in taverns, betting houses, and less savory places around the Game World. While rumored to be on the run from a previous employer (perhaps the Genyosha, some speculated, given his Night Stalker's name, "Rogue Wave"), it was the Rasalhague Dominion Watch who caught up with him in Xolara. Before they could kill or capture him, Abdoun Ricol arrived on scene, killed the Watch agents, and recruited Polnach into the Red Hunters. "Rogue Wave" was later seen in action with the Red Hunters

His history gets even more confusing after that, as a Mikhail Polnach and his Night Stalker purportedly remained with the Hunters and remain at large as of 3152 while Miguel Medinoche is still active and seemingly separate from the Polnach alias now. Medinoche has been active in the mercenary scene since the 3140s at several hiring halls and has publically denied association with either Mitternacht or Polnach identities. Rumors have linked him with the RasDom Watch as a deep cover agent, and even with the fabled Heimdall group.
