Austen Reynolds was a key member of the Libertas movement and opposed the Citizenship Program alongside Abraham Connors and Robert Pope.

During the Libertas movement, Erika Connors and Austen were having an affair due to Abraham’s neglecting her and his family. Holding Abraham and himself responsible for her death, Austen attempted to kill Abraham in vengeance years later, however he was gunned down by Silvine Security officers who had happened upon them while in pursuit of a chip created by Erika before her death.
