History
The Arms Dealer was a Captain of the DropShip, Newgrange. He was responsible for supplying ammunition to the Aurigan Directorate under the cooperation with the Taurian Concordat.[1]
Death
As the mercenary forces under the employment of Lady Arano (for Lord Simon Karosas) descended on Anvelt, they were given orders to disable the DropShip's engine. The Arms Dealer opened up communications to Lady Arano urging her not to attack the Newgrange. She asked the Arms Dealer to surrender, but he cut his communications with her. When the Arms Dealer refused her order, Kamea gave the mercenary unit permission to destroy the fuel tanks next to the Newgrange, destroying the DropShip and taking the dealer with it.
Legacy
Kamea: "Your son was aboard the Newgrange, wasn't he? That's what this is about."
Samuel: "He was the Captain of the Newgrange. You spoke to him. I listened to his flight recorder -- I heard you order his death."
Kamea: "If that is the truth, then you know that I ordered him to stand down."
Samuel: "He was under orders. He couldn't stand down. But even if he could, do you think that matters? He was my son."
--Lady Kamea realizing that the Arms Dealer was Samuel's son.
When word of the Newgrange's destruction reached Taurian space, Samuel Ostergaard allied with Victoria Espinosa to bring down the Aurigan Restoration. He would take his revenge so personally, that he would even forsake his duty to the Taurian Concordat and get dishonorably discharged from their Navy. His grief and determination to avenge his son would cost him his life.[2]
