Biography

Early Life

Kex was born on Corellia. There he was raised by his mother, Emma, and father, Tye, during his early childhood. His father would come and go, since he worked as a bounty hunter and was always traveling throughout the galaxy on contracts. When he was about 10 years old, he started traveling with his father on his jobs. Soon, it became all they did. He was hardly ever home. For the next four years he traveled with his father assisting him with his bounty hunter and mercenary jobs. Through his father, he was taught the finer aspects of combat. When not on a contract, he would train with his father for hours on end. Everything from firing a blaster to unarmed combat was taught to him in these years. Meanwhile, his mother left him and his father, due to their lifestyle, when he was about 12 years old. He doesn’t remember much of her anymore, and has no regrets about his early life.

Teen Years

When he was 14 his father was killed while on a job and he was forced to fend for himself. He decided to take the first steps on his way to becoming a bounty hunter and following in his father footsteps. He assisted his father on many hunts, before, and was very used to the life that a bounty hunter lived. However, the life of a bounty hunter just did not seem to fit him anymore. After many successful hunts he felt his heart was not in it, anymore. He was able to get a ride to his home planet of Corellia, and there he was able to live for a few months, until he used up the rest of his credits. Now, 18 years old and back on his home world of Corellia, Kex wondered what to do with the rest of his life. The answer quickly came to him. He found an Imperial recruiter on Corellia and immediately enlisted in the academy.

Service

Training

Upon reaching the age of 18, Kex enrolled in the Imperial Academy. He took on studies in the fields of basic Imperial protocol, vehicle and ship operations, Imperial History, and Army studies. He progressed through his training at a normal pace under the tutorage of, then, Chief Master Sergeant Kato Forn. After years of studying and training, Kex graduated the academy at the age of 22. After his graduation, he went into basic training as a reconnaissance sniper, which was his first position later on when he enlisted.

1st Imperial Legion

Upon graduation, Kex enlisted into the Imperial Army. He started out at the bottom, like all newly enlisted, as a Private. He was placed in a recon brigade, becoming one of the few snipers in the army. Soon, after proving his reliability and dedication, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. He really took his new rank with pride and wanted to show his Commanding Officer that he deserved such a rank. After a relatively short time in the 1st Imperial Legion, the army reorganized and Kex was moved to the newly formed 3rd Imperial Legion. It was there that he would spend the majority of his Imperial career.

3rd Imperial Legion

Immediately when Kex was transferred, the entire legion was made up of experienced soldiers. He immediately stepped up into a command role as his unit's Operations Adjunct. After the Imperial Army went through some structural changes, Kex was promoted to the rank of Master Sergeant and announced as the Executive Officer of the 3rd Imperial Legion. As time went on, Kex continued to prove his worth to the Imperial Army, quickly asserting himself as a key figure in its future. Soon, disturbing news came that Brigadier General Mintaka Kyuzo, the Imperial Army Adjutant. had defected to the New Republic. Army High Command quickly assured everybody that nothing was to fear, and promoted Kex's good friend and Commanding Officer Deric Adams to the Army's Adjutant position. Soon, Kex received a new commanding officer, and the unit moved forward. Unfortunately, the new commander had to take an extended leave of absence, and Kex was promoted to the commanding officer of his unit, as well as being inducted into the Imperial Officer Corps as a 2nd Lieutenant. Kex took this new position with the utmost honor and respect, as he doubled his efforts to prove he was the right man for the job. After all his hard work, Kex saw another promotion to the rank of 1st Lieutenant. After taking over the Shadow Guard, Kex immediately went to work on making it the best unit within the Imperial Army. His hard work paid off, as not only was his unit an elite force, but also he asserted himself as a capable commander. Kex's hard work would indeed pay off.

Army High Command

After some time, the Imperial Army saw the retirement of its very own Lieutenant General Dale Chambers. With his retirement, Alan Steel was appointed the new Army Commanding Officer by the newly announced Minister of Defense, Grand Admiral Slicer. Soon, more changes were made that included a restructure within the Imperial Army, and Colonel Adams being announced as the Army Executive Officer. Shortly after, on Year 9 Day 197, Kex was offered the Army Adjutant position, and as he gladly accepted he became a member of Army High Command. Soon after, Kex's good friend Deric Adams retired from active duty within the Empire and Kex was promoted to the Executive Officer position, where he remains today.

Imperial Gaming Commission

On Year 9 Day 113, the Imperial Ministry of Operations announced the creation of the Imperial Gaming Commission. Kex became the Deputy Director of the newly created commission, while Deputy Minister and Sith Lord Kiger Wulf was announced as the Director.

Traits

Personality

Kex was always a very laid back person. He loved joking around and pulling pranks, even on some of his superior officers. Kex felt that life was only so short, and sometimes a good joke could take the stress out of the rigors of being in the military every now and then. However, when serious times were called for, few answered the call better than Kex. He has a unique style of being a disciplinarian and at the same time being a very understanding guy.

Appearance

Probably in the peak of his health due to his reconnaissance training when he first entered the army, Kex has seen few better days. When on duty, he wears an Imperial Officer uniform, olive in color. When off duty, he can usually be seen wearing a white t-shirt with standard black or grey pants. His hair is a dark brown and cut short in a standard military-like style. On his right shoulder blade, he has a tattoo reading, "Fear what lurks in the Shadows" - a homage to his days in the Shadow Guard. On the left side of his neck, just below his ear, he has a small scar, though it is not clear where it came from and is hard to see.
