Terror of the Night
After acquiring much fame and fortune within the continent of Netropolis, Don Chase of the da Godfathers moved on to take over the Universe. After setting up base on a single lone planet late in the round of the Milky Way galaxy during Beta 3, he tried his hand at galactic conquest and totally sucked, getting whipped badly by a lone-forgotten player. The following round saw Don Chase elected leader of Pirates of the Galaxy, one of the top 10 families during the expo phase. He relinquished leadership to a better player, but yet found leadership thrust back upon him twice more during the round. The family finished 21st, with Don Chase finishing 18th in size and not even making the top 100 in net worth.
A fellow mafia leader from Netropolis, Enterprise, recruited Don Chase into the famed Harkonnens for Round 1 and hence Terror of the Night was born. That round saw Terror participate as the lead attacker for the Harkonnens during the storied Donut Rumble - a tri-war that lasted through the entire last half of the round as the legendary Tortuga Nebula Thugs and Spaceborne families supported the stubborn and yet decimated Harkonnens in their unlikely quest to turn the tides of the war.

Began mid-way through Beta 3. Was my family leader in Beta 4 (fam was 21st size and 33rd NW - sound like any other fam from those days?). Was drafted into the Harkonnens for Rounds 1 & 2.
Also played in the initial outing of Orion as well as kicking butt in two or three custom games.
Retired after the Great Reshuffle, then returned midway-through two rounds ago. Played for the Tortuga Nebula Thugs through that round and the first half of the recently concluded round.
Once Lizzy blocked me for being drafted, I rejoined at random into #91 and had some fun teaching newbies and blowing up people 2- 1500x my size for kicks.
Skills: Very methodical and active attacker who cares little for NW or my own personal rankings. Decent contacts among top players and normally fairly diplomatic despite my aggressive playing style.
Weaknesses: Love to spend money. Not fond of having infrastructure on planets, nor use of any of my spec ops.
Former names: da Godfathers, Terror of the Night, Jean Lafette, Bucanneer Jean Lafitte, and most likely a few others I can't remember.

"Terror of the Night, an old vet, has played many rounds, with the necessary retirements in between. Doesn't matter what IC-era he played in, he'll observe and will know what to do to get the upper hand one way or another. Excellent strategist."
