Not much is certain about the precise details surrounding Koltan Seraph’s early life. What is known for sure is that he was born on Day 234, Year -7, to Garran and Lasha Seraph, Human expatriates of the Outer Rim who had made their way to the galactic capital planet of Coruscant sometime before their son was born. The Seraphs lived in a small family home in the modest, middle-class district of Sah’c Town, and owned an equally small, but for the most part prosperous, business enterprise, involved in hauling freight from Imperial Center’s orbit to the surface, and vice-versa. Their new life in the Core Worlds seemed to be a story of success, at least until the troubles that came to the galactic capital in Year -4, which saw Coruscant plagued by ever-increasing taxes, power outages, food shortages, and the subsequent periods of civil unrest that lasted for weeks on end. The situation only deteriorated further when, shortly before Kol’s third birthday, his mother fell victim to the disastrous outbreak of the virulent Grey Plague, which claimed countless thousands of lives of those not native to the spires of the city-planet.

Kol’s father Garran spent much of his family’s fortune, and sold off much of his business’ interests and his family’s home in a vain attempt to purchase vaccines and medicines with which to save the life of the mother of his child, first from the authorities, and then from less reputable sources, even moving to the infamously ramshackle tenement habs of Coruscant’s Undercity to cut his expenses. When the strong-willed Lasha Seraph finally succumbed to the ravages of the Plague, her heartbroken widower lost the will to keep the doors of his business open any longer, and had nowhere near the sum of credits with which to pay back his unscrupulous debtors. He refused to even gaze upon the face of his adolescent son, as the features of Kol’s maternal bloodline bore themselves prominently on his visage, painfully reminding Garran of the lover he had lost.

Intent on collecting on the debts owed to him, the notorious man known only as ‘The Boss’, the leader of ‘the Syndicate’, the criminal organization which Garran had taken out his loan from, soon sent his agents to force Seraph to pay up. When Garran refused to pay (indeed, he did not possess the means nor the will to do so in the first place), The Boss made up his mind to make an example of him. When the gangster’s thugs stormed into Garran’s run-down apartment, they had discovered their target had committed suicide, having been driven mad with grief and despair (unknowingly having done so while his son watched on in horror under his bed, driven to that sanctuary by the terrible madness in his father’s eyes hours earlier). After The Boss’ men ransacked the dilapidated apartment in a vain search for the credits Garran had owed, the thugs found the boy, still in the embrace of shock inspired by the emotional trauma he had witnessed. They easily abducted the 3 year old, despite his struggles, bringing him before their employer as ‘collateral’. Forced into slavery to pay off his father’s debts, Kol suffered The Boss’ abuses until he was 8 years old, when he immediately seized the chance to kill his hated master in his sleep with a paring knife. After escaping the prison which had ensnared him for more than half of his young life, Kol, a bright lad with a razor-sharp wit, quickly learned to survive on his own on the unforgiving, ruthless streets of Coruscant's decaying, neglected Undercity, while the Syndicate's operations on Coruscant reeled from The Boss’ death for months to come, allowing his adolescent murderer to vanish into the shadows. On the merciless streets, Kol eventually joined a relatively unknown juvie gang, known as the 'Undercity Shades', as a petty thief and pick-pocket. With his ambitious nature and his affiliation with violence, however, it only took a couple of years for Kol to become the gang’s leader. His ruthless leadership eventually brought the Shades notoriety and recognition from rival gangs, not to mention the lethal, watchful eye of the Syndicate itself.

Vidar Sicarius

8122_sicarius.jpg

Compassion was not a virtue well known to Aquilus Sicarius; in fact it was doubtful he knew how to spell the word. Instead he was a man driven by greed and lust. He was wrapped so tightly within his own world that he failed to pay much attention to any of those around him.

He was a tall and well built man, and carried a number of scars on his body and face from many scraps he had gotten into due to his ‘job’. Aquilus was a small time spice dealer on Coruscant, more specifically the Coruscant Underlevels where he lived. His life was one of alcohol, spice and sex, he lived life as it came at him, and he found that the selling of spices earned him a good cut of credits. Also, with the overpopulated lower levels and the addictive qualities of spice, business was always booming. He was part of a much larger narcotic ‘market’ which was a well-known problem in the Underlevels.

Aquilus would get his hands on the spice and mix it with other materials in order to make sure he could optimize his sales and rake in as much money as possible. The CSF were utterly useless in the lower levels and avoiding them proved extremely easy, allowing him a happy life full of healthy amounts of credits.

Giovanna Lyome was one of Aquilus’ regulars as of late. She was younger than Aquilus, just shy of twenty in comparison to the dealer who was in his mid thirties. She had recently lost her job on the higher levels due to the habit she’d picked up in her teens, one which had led her to being kicked out of the educational system at the age of seventeen. Her parents were shamed by her expulsion and her addiction; they kicked her out and forced her to live life without the comforts and safety net of their financial baking. She had tried to kick the habit, she was determined to change, she found a job and a place to rent that was cheap and decent enough to live in. But times were never easy and when they got hard she fell back into her old habits. Eventually it led to her losing a job and left her unable to find anything else even half-decent on the upper levels. She was soon kicked out of her apartment. In her position there was only one way to go, down. from rival gangs, not to mention the lethal, watchful eye of the Syndicate itself. (more...)
