Personal History:

Samuel Shen was born in the September of 1929 to two second generation Chinese parents. His father worked on the railroad and his mother a waitress for a diner in a small town. He was involved with some rather nasty types at his school, but somehow managed to get a decent education. Shen's interest in vehicles stemmed from his father's working as a railroad builder.

In order to pay for a degree and eat at the same time, Shen did odd jobs, ranging from a busboy in a French restaurant to being a get away driver for some of his old friends. After receiving his degree Samuel became a full time criminal, taking part in the heists as well, having enjoyed the rush that criminal activity had given him. All the while, he held a job fixing cars in a mechanic shop.

Few years of heisting later, Shen was on a job to ambush a certain caravan. He was hired by MC&D to intercept the caravan and to get the two people riding with him on the pack horse of the caravan. Unfortunately for him, the Foundation was ambushing the same caravan, albeit with more guys and more guns. Upon seeing his driving prowess trying to evade capture, Samuel was offered a job driving and fixing cars in the Foundation. A constant wage appealed to him greatly. His aptitude on vehicles gave him a well fit position in Psi-7.
