Dr. Malcom Notio
"We were experimenting to see if Wookies feel pain... they do."--Dr. Malcom Notio explaining his current predicament.
Dr. Malcom Notio is a the multi Ph.D. Head of Research on board the Muffin, he answers to Belinda but is free to do most of his own research. He is slightly reckless and willing to risk a great deal in the name of scientific discovery, even when those discoveries seem fairly obvious or pointless. He is, however, knowledgeable in several fields and is able to problem solve quickly. His dangerous experiments have given him a strong survival instinct.
Biography
Early Childhood
Malcom Reynaldo Notio was born on Amaris Prime during the greatest drought in the planet's history. He barely survived his first few years of life and it is likely that his love of all things dangerous started at that early age. His mother died during childbirth and he was raised by his father who encouraged him to get into science as it was a way to help others and a way to get off of the planet where their family had been mired for several generations. Through several award winning science fair projects Malcom was awarded the prestigious Alliance Science Award and succeeded in gaining the opportunity to leave Amaris Prime and pursue his scientific career.
Secondary Education
Malcom moved through the academic programs on Earth very quickly and was able to obtain several Ph.D.s by the time he was 30 at which point he joined the Alliance Navy in hopes of furthering his research among the stars.

In the Name of Science!

Research
Shortly after their initial encounter Belinda and Malcom crossed paths again when Malcom was hired on as part of the Muffin's research crew. She was reluctant to deal with him, but he was there to stay so she did what she could. Malcom was working on research into cortosis at the time and sparked the necessity to collect more to improve weapons to defend against lightsaber attacks.
