Vưu Kimmîshi was born on August 12th, 1993, on Hòn Tài Nhỏ, a tiny, near-barren island in Vietnam's remote Côn Đảo archipelago.
Standing just 165 cm tall, Vưu's frame is a compact 70 kg of muscle. His formidable appearance gives the impression that he could easily rip the head off a bull. His dark, weather-tanned skin now conceals numerous tattoos, and his once black mustache and thick goatee are beginning to gray. His eyes, almost always narrowed, keep their true color hidden from view.
Vưu never took a wife or girlfriend and lived a monastic lifestyle. He viewed both dependence and a sex drive as a weakness. It is believed he was asexual.
By 2031, Vưu, dubbed Vuốt Tuyệt V, had established his dominance over an eclectic fleet. He commanded the loyalty of almost one hundred men, possessed three combat-ready ships, a small tanker, ten medium-sized vessels, and various support ships. That year, his men overtook Swallow Reef with little resistance from a handful of emaciated scientists, seizing three small aircraft, a landing strip, and a collection of buildings, thus securing a strategic harbor.
The following year strengthened Vưu's reputation as a formidable leader, with numerous successful raids that bolstered his fleet and tripled his manpower. Despite his stern, yet fair leadership, Vưu controversially overlooked the capture of women, justifying it as a necessary evil to boost crew morale.
Savvy to the advantages of controlling land, Vưu exploited the tumult in New Zealand and laid claim to its northernmost peninsula, naming it the Free Aupouri Collective—a land-hold that fortified his maritime regime.
By 2035, amid concerns that Australia, mostly unscathed by global events, was taking notice of their presence, Vưu orchestrated the abduction of the Australian Treasury Secretary's wife. His bold gambit intended to exchange her safe return for a non-aggression pact. Vưu sought recognition of the Collective as a sovereign entity from Australia, with the promise that his men would refrain from engaging any targets flying the Australian flag.
Rather than negotiate, Grainger orchestrated a surgical extraction raid. Once his wife was safely out of harm’s way, he sanctioned an airstrike that obliterated a square kilometer around the building where she had been detained, resulting in the demise of dozens of Vưu’s men. The message was unmistakable. Vưu internalized the brutal lesson, yet he persisted in behaving as if the terms of the non-aggression pact remained in effect.
