Yondu Udonta whistlingdixie

Orphaned as a child and sold to slavers, Bauer is thereafter "acquired" by Yondu, who takes a liking to his headstrong attitude and decides to keep the young boy around and raise him. He has only a vague recollection of his time as a captive, and doesn't know the full truth of how Yondu saved him from a grim fate. Despite not fully embracing the space pirate and mercenary lifestyle of his guardian, Bauer finds his purpose working as an engineer (and occasional medic) aboard Yondu's ship and has earned some renown for his skills. He has his doubts that the captain or his crew ever intended to eat him. Knowing of Yondu's fondness for collecting trinkets, a young Vincent gives him a sentimental gift in the form of a bobblehead cat figurine. The gesture is symbolic of his acceptance of Yondu as his family.
