Pilot Bio : Vladmir Gladstone was a lad off the street, scrabbling for money and scraps among his siblings, until, one day, at 16, he came across a lovely girl, Jasmine Hawthorne. She was from a rich aristocratic family, and she managed to convince her parents to take Vladmir in.
After much sobbing and comforting, Vlad bade his family farewell, promising to help them through poverty.
For the next 6 years, Vlad lived the rich, good life with Jasmine, working at a local mine. He was good friends with the house staff; Katherine, the maid, and Andy, the butler. For the rest of his life, Vlad never forgot his promise to his mother.
One day, Vlad came home to Jasmine and pulled her aside to the kitchen. There, he proposed marriage to her. She said yes. After announcing the joyful news to the manor, Jasmine retired to her chambers. Vlad was overjoyed.
However, 3 months later, Jasmine was struck by a horrible disease. For the next 2 weeks, Vlad never left her side at the hospital. He did everything he could for her, but, as he was cradling her in his arms, she whispered her final good night, and slowly shut her eyes.
Vlad was distraught. He began drinking, smoking, gambling, whatever made the pain subside.
He was in the slumps until, one day, by luck, he gambled an extremely rare Zoid away from a mysterious hooded man.
This particular Zoid happened to be Ice Blazer, and they were immediately connected. Remembering his promise, Vlad began piloting Ice Blazer, soon to be known as QuickSilver. Vlad began entering Zoid races, and after winning his first match, began a gambling craze that set him as one of the richest racers on Zi, and also gave him his nickname, The Impaler.
