Known as "Duke" or "Duke Sedim" to anyone he can convince to call him as such, Ducos Vocis spent most of his working life being hired by special interest groups, committee members and worker's unions to handle negotiations and lobbying campaigns. He has honed his skills of communication and persuasion to an art and has always relied upon his charm to get by.
Eventually he got tired of helping end labour strikes and push through local legislation and tried to move higher up in the world. Becoming more of a political con-man than lobbyist he started to prey upon the gullibility of politicians, but only after acquiring a semi-legal biomod allowing him to adjust the details of his face with enough depth and precision to fool a retina scanner.
By impersonating low level aides and clerks he managed to get himself into a position where he hoped he could gain leverage upon a member of the Council. Instead he found evidence of various conspiracies and a shadow government masterminding them. Before he could do anything with the information he was arrested and informed that he would be spending an indefinite amount of time in a mining facility. Using what little political capital he had and more than a little luck he managed to talk his way out of it and onto the Kali-Ma.
As well as being able to talk his way out of most situations and having experience in impersonating others Duke has long been practicing his skills in quickly drawing and hurling balanced blades, in preparation for the possibility that one day words just might fail him.
The characters in the Kali-Ma Campaign have indeed been inspired by the players favorite characters from their favorite sci-fi.
