Revision as of 17:16, 11 September 2013

Schuyler "Sky" Haussmann is the son of Titus Haussmann, the head of security aboard the Santiago. However, Sky discovers that he is not in fact his father's son, and was an infant "momio" or "sleeper" awakened by Titus secretly after the death of his own son. Like the rest of the Flotilla's sleeping colonists, Sky Haussmann is secretly immortal.

Sky's greatest crime and best-known action was the ejection of entire rings of reefersleep caskets in order to gain an advantage in speed over the other craft of the Flotilla, killing many of the momios that were to be the colonists for the new world of Journey's End. This strategy meant the Santiago had less mass than the other ships and so could decelerate later and arrived at Journey's End first.

The planet which had been known as Journey's End to the Flotilla was christened Sky's Edge as a reminder of the action he took to ensure that the Santiago would be the first of the Flotilla to arrive. Because of his crime, Haussmann was crucified after the other colonists landed on Sky's Edge.

Sky Haussmann is the centre of a pervasive cult, and those who worship him do so as if he were a god. This bizarre cult has developed an indoctrinal virus that alters the infected's perceptions, often giving them physical symptoms similar to stigmata or whole chapters of Sky's life as simulated experiences. The virus is designed to reprogram the victim, in a sense.
