Harding Roberts

Status alive

Overview

Unofficial leader of the Acheronites on Peric IV D, his homestead exists a half day travel by ground from Acheron’s Rest. Generally he is reasonable when dealing with members outside of his community, but he will defend his community rights above all else. Unlike the more extreme members of his community, he understands that any major conflict could draw the eye of the Republic. This eye would lead to more direct involvement of the Republic, and reduce their freedom to operate as they wish.

Appearances

• Session 10 (Session 10 - Six Shooters and Four Arms) — Did not appear. Bergljot Peric contracted the crew to carry two pallets to his homestead, two to three hours from Acheron’s Rest by tracked transport; the crew were ambushed on the way (The Rocky Pass Ambush). Tim updated the homestead’s distance in mobRPG from a few days to a half day (pulled 2026-10-04).
• Session 11 - The Cost of a Clone’s Life — Hosted the crew at the Roberts Estate through a storm after they delivered the Castellan Biodynamics drug. Walks with a cane and a metal leg brace. Over dinner he explained that the moon’s identical workers are clones bought from Castellan, kept alive by that drug, and that rogue ones are worth small bounties at the outpost; he spoke at length about the Acheronites, Federal Republic taxes and off-world claim jumpers. Led the pursuit in The Roberts Estate Storm Raid, told the crew he owes them a favour, paid ten credits each, and gave Shackleton Magellan a card for Aliya Pontecorvo, who handles his below-board shipping. Pays in hard currency.
