Our Heavy-Hitter! A mountain of a man with a big heart, big smile, and bigger temper.....TUGBOAT!

​

Titus aka Tugboat: Tugboat grew up alone. He had only vague memories of a woman singing him to sleep and he assumed she was his mother. Tugboat had been four when the woman disappeared from his life, leaving him to fend for himself in the streets of Ft. Spokanistan. A gang of street kids took him in, teaching him how to find food and what little water there was. The street kids also taught him useful skills, like picking locks and pockets. 

As he grew, he took over the gang he ran with and took in other lost children, teaching them to survive. He turned the gang of thrown away kids into a family who loved each other and took care of one another.

Life was a constant struggle to find enough food and water for his young family and when the Water Wars started, he decided he had to go fight so his family might finally have enough. Leaving the older children in charge, he left for the Wars.

Tugboat earned his name during the Water Wars. He was one of the only survivors of a terrible battle and, looking for other survivors, happened upon an unconscious man missing an arm and an eye. Tugboat strapped the torn and bleeding man to a travois and hauled him through the burning, shifting sands of the Waste until he happened upon Veritas Truth and his five-man team as they landed their War Balloons after a night mission. 

Dr. Staccato operated on the man Tugboat had hauled through the Waste and both of them joined Veritas’s unit.

Tugboat missed his adopted children every day and they were his motivation to stay alive. He waded through blood and death for five horrific years to secure water for the children he took in and when the Wars were over, he looked forward to getting back to them. His heart shattered into a thousand pieces when he discovered they were all dead, shot by the Western Empire Regime during the Purge of the Poor.

Having nothing left, Tugboat decided to join the Non-Prophets and vanish into the Waste, searching for Oasis and maybe some peace.
