Biography

Tyrren Montari was born on Coruscant along with his fraternal twin, Aspharr Montari. Born into the upper middle class, the Montari twins were raised by their father, Darien Montari, a career politician, and their mother, Celeste Montari, a doctor. With no other immediate family to speak of, the Montaris were very close and the brothers were nearly inseparable.

In primary school, the brothers developed a reputation for being troublemakers, though it didn't take long for their father to catch wind of and put an end to their antics. As a politician, their father understood the desire to show strength, however he also believed in a strong sense of moral and ethical behavior. He did his best to pass his humble nature on to his sons.

Tyrren took after his father's example and quickly changed his image from a rule-breaker to a courteous member of his school's junior military program. He quickly rose through his unit's ranks showing an aptitude for leadership. Tyrren was a model cadet, always leading by example and rarely allowing himself to lapse into the haughty attitude common among the upper crust.

When he wasn't drilling with his fellow cadets, Tyrren could be found at a nearby garage, assisting a family friend and shop owner repair various vehicles. It was through this part time job that Tyrren grew to enjoy repairing ships and, although not as well as his brother, pilot them.

What the Montari brothers lacked in family numbers, they made up for in friends. Aspharr and Tyrren didn't have an entourage, but they never seemed to have trouble getting along with most people. The characteristic can be attributed to their father's skill with words and his inherent charisma, both of which he passed on to the Montari twins. In school, Aspharr and Tyrren earned above average grades, though they were never perfect students, and both excelled in athletics. Tyrren preferred boloball, while Aspharr was known for his grav-ball skills.

Shortly after his graduation, Tyrren's father introduced him to Ciatri Norayen, a junior politician and Darien's assistant. Tyrren and Ciatri began dating and eventually Tyrren proposed. Ciatri agreed to marry him, and they were happily wed soon thereafter; Aspharr served as Tyrren's best man.

After the wedding, Tyrren decided to attend the Academy with the intent of joining the Imperial Army. He and his brother, who had decided to join the Empire's Navy, made their way to a nearby landing pad and were picked up in separate shuttles, and ferried to the Academy grounds. Shortly after the brothers left, Tyrren's wife decided to join them at the Academy in order to further her own career and join the Regional Government.

Upon graduation, Tyrren enlisted in the Imperial Army. His instructors, upon going through his aptitude tests and school records, noticed his penchant for leadership, and high marks in his classes. They attempted to sign him up for Officer Training School, but Tyrren insisted on enlisting. For his marks, he was given the rank of Corporal. After training, and two tours including Operation Isolated Axiom, Tyrren decided that it was time to become an officer in His Majesty's Army. Tyrren was sent to the Imperial Army Training Centre, located on Carida and then to Command Courses located on his homeworld of Coruscant. He graduated and was given the rank of Second Lieutenant.

Appearance and Behavior

At just over 1.85 m and 80 kg, Tyrren is fairly average in height and weight for a humanoid, though his muscle tone is more defined than most. His physique is most typically described as a boloball player; a sport in which he excelled. He has short dark brown hair from his father and light blue eyes from his mother, typical of his Coruscanti ancestry. He has high cheek bones and a defined chin which he keeps shaven to a light stubble against Imperial regulation. Tyrren's most distinguishing mark is the small mole on the right side of his face, halfway between his nose and upper lip. Montari's appearance makes it seems as if he was sculpted specifically for military service.

From a young age, Tyrren was accustomed to clothing that most would deem uncomfortable for daily wear. His father's status as a Coruscanti politician made keeping up appearances a daily family duty. By the time he was a teenager, wearing a full suit was common practice for Tyrren. When not wearing a suit, Montari generally wears a jacket of some sort out of habit. Since joining the Imperial Army, Tyrren is most typically found wearing his uniform in place of his usual suit and tie, though it is fairly common to see him lounging in lighter clothing when off duty. His light skin and lighter eyes force him to keep a pair of sunglasses around more for practical use than as a fashion statement; they are usually found sitting on top of his head when not on his face.

Tyrren can almost always be found with a drink in hand when off duty. Some say it has become a problem, though Tyrren vehemently denies the accusation, stating that it is his way of handling the stress of duty. His favorite drink is whiskey, with a preference to various Corellian blends, especially Whyrren's Reserve. He also enjoys fine Coruscanti wine, but is most commonly found drinking lomin ale or lum; a byproduct of his time spent as an enlisted man.

Imperial Service

Imperial Academy

Tyrren received a personal welcome from the Academy's Assistant Dean, Kent Amba, who met him at his shuttle upon arrival and showed him around campus. Montari took to his studies quickly and worked hard to improve his slightly above average grades into outstanding scores. He studied Leadership, Customs and Traditions, Military Operations and Tactics, Goal Setting and Accomplishment, as well as a battery of health and physical fitness courses. Montari scored especially high marks in his medical courses, most likely due to the long talks he had with his mother about her work. He also learned about the Empire as a whole, and learned many new skills to help him in his career. Tyrren's scores weren't perfect, but his hard work resulted in a 96% overall grade and Honors status.

While on break and not studying, Tyrren spent most of his time in the mess, either drinking or in the simulators. While his proficiency was in ground combat, Tyrren had a knack for piloting. Though he was never as skilled as his brother, Tyrren could best some of the mid-ranked naval candidates regularly, and even some of the better pilots on a good day. Despite the fact that his brother and wife were on the same campus, he was rarely able to interact with them; free time was minimal and schedules didn't seem to match up. Due to this fact, Tyrren didn't make many long term friends, but ended up with several acquaintances.

When all his courses ended, and all his tests were completed, Tyrren was summoned to the Heraldic Hall by the Assistant Dean. Tyrren has stated that he recalls standing in awe at the history of the room. The multitude of banners hanging like stalwart reminders of the ever-expanding Empire and those who gave their lives to make it possible. He was given the rank of Corporal for his Honors status, and put in his papers for transfer to the Army. Tyrren received his assignment within the week and was sent off without fanfare into the beginning of his career with the Imperial Army.

Imperial Army

After graduation, he was assigned to CLASSIFIED Brigade, and began his work in the Imperial Army as a Legionnaire. Upon the resignation of 6th Brigade's Executive Officer, Tyrren was appointed to fill the role.

Department of Military Intelligence

Most recently, Tyrren has been appointed a Military Intelligence Officer. He continues his work as 6th BDE XO, and acts as a liaison between his region and Imperial Intelligence.
