In his first encounter he was smuggling drugged up mail order brides to miners on a distant planet, making them appear to be goddesses with the aid of the Venus drug; and on the second encounter he became ruler of a planet of androids mostly inhabited by female androids of a somewhat sensual nature.He was once married to a shrew of a wife whom he deserted.
