A Gregoran spacer that, legend would have it, escaped being eaten alive by a Raum-Wal (see The Ballad of Arn Fuss-Duo).
Fuss-Duo's other claims include surfing the tail of a comet in his ship, the Astral Princess; accidently flying too close to a supernova; single-handedly preventing the breakout of war between the Y'Kalians and the Partheans, and making his way through the Bryson Singularity Cluster with an out-of-date NaviCom.
The last anyone heard of Fuss-Duo was just before he flew back into the space where he first encountered the Raum-Wal. There are two widely accepted versions of the legend from this point in the story of Arn Fuss-Duo. The first says that he found out he was dying of an incurable disease and that he wanted to make peace with the beast before the end. The other version says that he was so furious on finding out he had the disease, he set his ship to self-destruct and flew into the gaping mouth of the Raum-Wal quoting Ahab as he straddled the anti-matter core.
