Rory Dekker was born in Daytona Beach, FL. Raised by his father - who was president of the local chapter of the biker gang The Fugitives, he was indoctrined into the outlaw lifestyle from an early age.
Having a healthy appreciation for big, American V-twin motorcycles - he found them lacking in the speed department - which is what he ultimately craved & found himself gravitating toward exotic sport bikes.
By the age of 20, he was already an accomplished amature circuit rider & was scouted & eventually recruited by a well known factory race team, to be their new MotoGP PRO rider in the Unlimited class. His ultra-aggressive "never back down" riding style earned him the nickname "Throttle" & was known by his competitors to have a meanstreak off the track, volatile & dangerous on the track. After only 2 seasons as a factory sponsored rider he was permanently banned from any & all professionally sanctioned motorcycle racing leagues. This being the resulting fallout from a particularly devastating crash he had caused, in which 3 fellow riders lost their lives & 5 others were crippled.
Returning home to FL, he became a full fledged member of The Fugitives & quickly became the most violent & vicious among their ranks, taking part in a myriad of criminal activities - ranging from the manufacture/distribution of drugs, weapons smuggling, bank robbery, grand larceny, extortion, kidnapping & contract murder.
During what they believed to be a routine smash & grab at a storage warehouse, Throttle & 2 other Fugitive members, stumbled upon what turned out to be a top secret military "skunkworks" weapons cache facility, where they discovered a functional prototype hoverbike & a stockpile of experimental weapons.
Quickly recognizing the potential impact that such a piece of hardware could have on their criminal endeavors, Throttle boosted it & has begun utilizing the machine as his personal attack craft.
Word of The Fugitives recent high profile crime spree has trickled down to the Everglades & the Dreadnoks are very interested in finding this crew & the hoverbike rider in particular...
