Originally Caldari, the Jizukiru family has a long line of industrialists, dating back to before the Gallente Federation's founding. They dominated the industrial market of their home planet by absorbing profitable businesses into the Jizukiru name, forming The Jizukiru Conglomerate. After Panagiotis Jizukiru got convicted of insider trading and ruined the family's reputation, the conglomerate started going under. Ruined beyond salvation, the family moved into the Gallente Federation under new identities.
Nestoras the Second's childhood was rather extraordinary. While the family lived in one of the richest regions of their home planet, Ambeke IX, they were quite poor. This inequality drove Nestoras and his older brother mad. So, they started making a little money on the side, with his brother selling boosters and himself working as a hacker, scout and spy for local gangs. The brothers' operations often overlapped, and they helped each other climb the ranks. After an encounter with a hostile gangster that cost him an eye, Nestoras ejected himself from the underworld and silently entered the world of academia, with his criminal past becoming the basis for many a study in psychology, sociology and cybersecurity. Nestoras became a respected junior researcher, and his obvious thirst for knowledge caught the attention of his professors and superiors. The lure of easy money and thrills was too much for his brother to follow him, however. The unstoppable duo would go their seperate ways.
After being accepted in The University of Caille, Nestoras would change back his name, deciding to try to repair his family's reputation by bringing the Jizukiru name back into the industrialist market, as well as helping with the (then new) pirate crisis.
Jizukiru-san's path from street punk to space-travelling capsuleer has made him into a planet-wide sensation, and inspires many youths of the Ambeke system to this day.
In the 14th of December, YC123, The Jizukiru Conglomerate was officialy founded once again. We wish Jizukiru-san good fortune and we hope he will be more honest than what his bloodline is known for.
