Origins

Kos Van`lin is a 5'9" blue eyed and blonde haired Kiffar. He was born to Clan Van`lin 24 years before this document. His parents were Rol and Cay Van`lin. Rol, his father was a dedicated warrior who lost his life when Kos was seven years old. His mother Cay, also a warrior, is currently serving the leader of the clan as his personal bodyguard. Kos learned much of his skills from his mother and uncle, Tren. His uncle was a legendary warrior of the clan before his accident. Regardless, he was a relentless master. Constant drills, constant duels, from sun up to sun down. Before long Kos was known to be one of the strongest trainees. His clan inhabited a key stronghold in the southeast island chains on the planet Kiffex. They were known as the Southern Vanguard to the eastern Island chain, and because of the constant state of war the clan was in, it became an effective Oligarchy. Over time, the clan developed several distinct markers. They were nearly all blonde, had blue eyes, and had a vibrant green Ququuf. They also had a different method for the gaining of the Ququuf. Most clans only had one mark, and it was always given at birth, but with the Van`lin Clan, there was, in effect, two different marks the clan used. The first was a simple line that went from ear to ear and over the bridge of the nose. This was the basic mark that every child received at birth. The second, was two lines that went down from the hair line and ended at the line of the first ququuf. This mark was used to show the wearer as a warrior of the clan, who had proven themselves in combat, and taken a life for the clan. Not long after Kos had fought in his first battle and gained the full Ququuf of the clan, he was summoned by the Clan leader. Kos, of course, rushed to the clan leaders chambers. The leader looked at him a moment and told him he had a hard decision to make, to either stay with the clan, or to join the Empire to show the clan's support. Kos spent several hours considering before he finally made his decision to join the Empire. The next day he was on his way to Coruscant to join the academy.

Early Years

Kos Van`lin was accepted to the academy, and quickly excelled. He studied hard, and trained harder. His hard work quickly paid off. He graduated from the academy with honors, and was yet again faced with a decision that would shape his future. Kos had to decide whether to join the army, the navy, or the government. He thought for awhile, weighing the pros and cons, before he realized he knew exactly which branch was right for him. He joined the Army and was assigned to the 3rd Imperial Legion, 3rd Brigade. He started as a Corporal and quickly gained ranks. He served on several different planets, in various different roles, not just as a soldier, but also as guardians. He spent much of his time studying and expanding his knowledge of modern warfare and combat. Before long he was promoted to the Rank of Captain, and appointed to the position of XO of the 3rd Brigade.

Current Events

As a Captain Van`lin celebrated his 29th birth year. As a gift to himself he bought a small house on Corellia. Soon after he met his qualification for Elite Infantry. His look even changed. He stopped wearing his hair in accordance with his clan tradition, and took on a more military cut. He had given the Empire his life, he ate, slept, and breathed the Empire. Having reached his goal of being an Elite Infantry trooper, his eyes were set on the great honor of becoming a Brigade CO, every moment of the day he studied tactics, he trained, and he worked, to try and achieve this goal. Perhaps one day he will attain his goal, and have to set a new one...
