History:

In Earth's final century (that would be the 22nd century, for those just tuning in), Morgan was a prominient financier. He earned his fortune with a diamond mining company which he expanded into a manufacturing and mining conglomerate powerhouse, making everything from soup to nuts for the rapidly collapsing governments of earth.

Hell, he ended up owning most of Russia when it won a war against the People's Republic of China, but collapsed from the cost during the peace. Morgan stepped in and bought out most of the civil functions, making Russia a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Industries.

This might explain HOW he was able to smuggle himself onto the Unity... but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Bottom line: Earth was screwed after a Civilization II game where the Indian player was a bit too nuke-happy the Twelve Minute War between Pakistan and India. Or America collapsing into a bunch of nation-states like the Evangelical Fire and the Spartan Federation and... or the famines, or the New freaking Crusade Wars.

The United Nations led Humanity's final hope, the Russian player winning via Space Race the Unity project. Earth's best minds were engaged in creating a huge colony ship, capable of traveling at a tenth the speed of light, rocketing towards the vaguely Terran planet Chiron in the Alpha Centauri system.

Nwabudike personally financed the project, publicly declaring it "humanity's last and greatest hope." When Russia collapsed, he lent his manufacturing empire to the cause.

Why was anyone surprised when an extra cryosleep chamber, containing one Nwabudike Morgan, was discovered onboard? Or that when the Unity got totally boned by a micrometeor impact, that he managed to convince 1/7th of the survivors to rally under his banner, promised unimaginable riches from his corporate empire?

He's managed to keep his end of the bargain so far. After all, Morgan is nothing if not an honest businessman.
