Biography
Largo was a senior member of the criminal organisation Terra Nostra, based out of the space station Space City. He had once tried to get Jenna to smuggle shadow, the highly addictive and ultimately lethal drug that was the basis of Terra Nostra's power, but she had refused and been arrested not long after. He had siblings Bek and Hanna steal some jewels and chided them for not killing the owner before making them beg for the shadow he had promised them as a reward. Instead, Bek pulled a gun on him, revealing he wasn't a shadow addict, and absconded with both the jewels and the shadow. However, the pair were quickly captured by Largo's Enforcer, with Largo having them imprisoned intending to make an example of them.

Largo was then contacted by Blake, Jenna and Avon, who offered him precious stones in return for introducing them to the Terra Nostra leaders, who they were hoping would aid them against the Terran Federation. Largo instead had them taken prisoner, along with Gan who had been nearby as back-up, and tried to get Blake to order Cally to have the rest of the Liberator's store brought over. He failed by a combination of Avon and Gan teaming up with Bek and Hanna to escape and Cally threatening to open fire on Space City, being left behind humiliated as everyone else teleported back to the Liberator.

Attempting to save face, Largo claimed to the Terra Nostra Chairman that he had deliberately allowed them to escape in order to plant Hanna on board as a double agent and gain the bounty for capturing the Liberator and its whole crew. While this was a lie, Largo had laced the shadow that Hanna had taken with a detectable substance, allowing him to track the Liberator's position. Once he learned this, the Enforcer killed Largo and passed the information on to the Chairman himself.
