Christian Mack was not part of Knights Errant Investigations before he played the part of one of their Knights Errant, but he believed in making his roles as accurate as possible. So he asked K.E.I. to join the original concept team for the series, vet each episode’s storyline before filming, and to train all actors in K.E.I. standards and protocols. Many extras and guest stars in the series were real life Knights Errant, and K.E.I. even supplied the AIs featured in it. In an industry that often suffers from idiotic stories a five-year old could pick apart and unrealistic gunplay with neverending bullets, Christian Mack’s series distinguished itself with stories picked directly from real life cases and action scenes even the professionals could accept. The fact that he did all his own stuntwork helped with that. The fact that he was Ageless allowed him to survive doing all of his own stuntwork. Everything combined made the show number one in its genre for over a decade, and it spawned numerous spin-off series and competitors that shamelessly stole its ideas. Christian Mack became a household name on Earth and beyond and never looked back.
Edwin Case was an associate member of Knights Errant Investigations when he started what he likes to call the most important bar fight of his life. Had he kept his nose clean and kept working at it, he probably would have made Knight Errant in a year or two. He didn’t. Which made K.E.I. perfectly willing to brush his membership under the radar as long as they could get him out of the public eye before he gave them a public black eye. Luckily for everybody, the judge in question was friendly with K.E.I. and was happy to give one of their black sheep a choice between a new life in the United States Marine Corps or jail time. Becoming a genuine War Hero in the following years helped him get back into K.E.I.’s good graces, which is why he wears their uniform now. He’s not the only Cowboy to do that.
When Chloe brought a descendant of the Napoleon family to France, she painted a large target on him. Well, to be fair, he helped paint it by calling for peace and order in France. The Islamic Brotherhoods did not take well to that and tried to kill him. They tried to do it many times, but he had good security. And he had Chloe. Or Chloe had him. History is somewhat vague on who had whom at the time. It is not at all vague on the matter of how many Brotherhood fighters died trying to kill Napoleon. Or how many of them died at Chloe’s hands. They basically dared the Brotherhoods to come kill them, and the Brotherhoods did not disappoint them. Casualty rates in their more aggressive cells hit catastrophic levels in a matter of weeks, and the Brotherhood’s ability to openly operate inside France soon began to wane.
Christian Mack served in the United States Marine Corps as a Master Gunnery Sergeant before Contact. He retired and became an actor after Contact. He soon became one of the most famous actors in the entire Terran Solar System, and remained popular and prolific until The War came upon us all. He took on action and romance roles, and played powerful dramatic parts in numerous award-winning films and series, but it was for his character roles that he became a true household name. And his breakthrough role was that of a hard-bitten film noir-style detective hunting down criminals throughout the Solar System. Knight Errant Christian Mack of Knights Errant Investigations was the role of a lifetime and he played it so well that most people forgot his real name entirely. He was simply the guy who played Christian Mack. It was not the name he was born with, but he took it as his own when the time came.
Edwin Case is a real big man, let me tell you. He played Real American Football, lifted weights, wrestled, and did all the other stuff strong young men like to do in school. Then the Peloran Treatments kicked in with their final little oh-so-random gift and he became Ageless. His career and his records went away and he returned home a broken and bitter man. That’s where most biographies of him stop until the day the judge gave him a choice between the Marines and jail time after a particularly impressive bar. Very few biographies get into why he had a choice at all. The answer is both simple and complicated. The simple part is that he was an associate member of Knights Errant Investigations in good standing. Until then. The complicated part is that an associate member of Knights Errant Investigations picked a bar fight with the Marines while drunk as a skunk.
