Neal's a Skyfish fisher, following in his father Edmond's footsteps—though honestly, it's not the most glamorous trade. The whole family business revolved around harvesting Skyfish to craft panels for ships like the Gekko-Go, but the money wasn't there. Neal eventually got fed up with it and turned to drinking instead.
Thing is, he managed to get past that rough patch. Once he worked through his issues with the family trade, he became genuinely useful—he figured out how to speed up the Gekko's repairs in a major way, which actually made a real difference.
