"Real cool"

– pirate remark about Vinny's leather jacket.^[1]

Vinny Deadhead is an infamous pirate, never seen without his patent leather jacket and bike.^[1]

History

Vinny was born on a Dustworld of gangs and barbarian rogues to a harsh life, and since early childhood found himself a member of a biker gang, fighting tooth and nail with his rivals for the precious currency of the world: gasoline. When Vinny was nineteen, a pirate vessel landed on his world, and he led a raid on the vessel, catching the eye of the Captain in the fray before his own bike was destroyed by a missile and he was left for dead by his gang – but not by the captain, who confronted the defenceless Vinny and pledged to take him into his crew should he join with the pirates.^[1]

Since leaving his world, Vinny has made a name for himself amongst various pirate crews as a skilled biker and mechanic. He proudly shows the scars from his first brush with death and wears a jet black leather jacket embossed with plasteel studs in the sigil of a skull and crossbones.^[1]
