Biography

Altair Ahad was born in a small mining colony, on the small mining planet of Red Cap. The people of Red Cap are caught in a harsh never ending cycle of poverty and oppression. Altair worked for the Mine until he had saved up enough money to leave Red Cap and never look back. Soon Altair found himself on Tattooine. He made a living by bartending and working security for a small cantina. Frustrated that he was still stuck doing nothing with his life, Altair decided he needed more. After seing a tattered Imperial Army recruitment poster, Altair quickly contacted the Empire's recruiting service. After securing a ride off Tattooine, he arrived at the Imperial Academy and has never looked back. Altair Ahad now serves in the Imperial Army, specifically the Second Imperial Legion. He is also a member of the Imperial Assault Force.

Early Years

Not much is known about Altair's early life. Other than he worked for the mine until he had saved up enough money to leave Red Cap. On his home planet nearly everyone who lived there were colonists brought in to work the mine. The colonists soon became drones, knowing only work. Everyone was expected to work for the mine until the day they were to old to work or died. Soon after Altair began to work in the mine, he realized he wanted more out of life. He was not content with merely working his life away. This rebellious streak in him was noticed by his parents and his fellow workers who ostracized and ridiculed him for his dreams. Once he had saved up enough money to leave he quickly made his way off the planet. Altair soon found himself on Tattooine, with no friends and little money. The first few months were hard for him and he began to doubt his decision to leave Red Cap. He soon found work at a small cantina and as he worked there his doubts began to double. Soon he began to regret his decision to leave Red Cap. His doubts and regrets soon manifested themselves into depression and despair. One day while walking to work one morning Altair saw something that would change his life forever. On a wall of a building was a tattered and faded Imperial Army Recruitment poster. Altair quickly realized that this was exactly what he was looking for, this was his way out of the gutter.

The Academy

Once Altair had contacted the Imperial Recruiting Service he used what little money he had to secure a ride off of Tattoine, and to the nearest Imperial Recruiting Depot. Soon after he arrived at the Imperial Academy on Carida. While there he learned the basics of being a Stormtrooper. Altair learned to march in step, how to effectively utilize his armor, and how to operate and maintain his E-11 blaster rifle. The Academy was one of the most challenging moments of Altair's life, but he would'nt trade it for the world. The Imperial Army picked him up when he was at the lowest point in his life, and it built him back up stronger than he ever was before.

The Second Imperial Legion

Right out of the Academy Altair was assigned to the Imperial Army's Second Legion, the Hellhounds. Altair was not sure of himself when he first arrived. He was not sure if he could match up to the combat hardened veterans that surrounded him. Soon how ever his initial fears and doubts gave way to a sense of belonging that he had never experienced before. After serving with the Hellhounds for awhile, Altair feels he truly belongs to the Second Legion, which has become like a family to him.

Troop Training

Altair's first mission, while serving with the Hellhounds, was to assist in training a garrison of Stormtroopers. Altair jumped into this mission head long, working his troopers to exhaustion everyday. Through all of the rigorous PT Altair trained with his troops. Despite being a rookie himself Altair did not hesitate giving out orders and generously handing out extra PT to those troops who attempted to slack off. When time for live-fire exercises came around Altair's training platoon excelled and passed the ordeal with flying colors. When orders came through it was apparent that the Second's job was done and they were moving on to a new mission. Altair hated to leave behind these troopers he had trained and had felt a bond with. However this was the Army and Altair would have to appear unaffected, lest he be seen as a weak fool in front of his Legion. So with a final order Altair dismissed his training platoon, and boarded the waiting transports, bound for a far away land.

Traits

Personality

Altair Ahad is fiercely loyal to the Galactic Empire, Imperial Army, and most especially the Second Imperial Legion. He likes to keep a cool head even under the most stressful of situations. Possibly as a result of growing up on Red Cap, following orders is very easy for him. No matter the order Altair will give his all to complete it.

Appearance

Altair is fairly stocky at 5'8 and 202 lbs. His broad shoulders are one of his defining features. As a result of being in the Imperial Army he is in top physical condition. Altair is very proud of his well defined muscles and his V shaped physique, and works hard to stay in shape. He enjoys PT and supplements his mandatory Army training with his own work outs. He also has a Hellhound's emblem tattoo on the right side of his chest.
