Relationships

Tanya Rolfes

Campbell's first long term partner. Rolfes was a 1st Lieutenant in the Imperial Army, aide to the Emperor. Executed during the NAO Insurrection for attempting to defect with the rest of her family. She was the mother of his son, Quinlan, now in the care of Owen von Ismay.

Aeia Tavell

Sergeant in the Imperial Army and sister of Alexander Fel, they were engaged to be married when Aeia was tragically killed by an Eidola boarding party. Campbell still harbours the faintest of suspicions about why she was located on the civilian vessel at the time of the attack.

Inara Imperium

Despite the length of time that had passed since Aeia's death, Campbell never fully recovered, becoming genuinely heartbroken and bitter to a point where it almost costs him his life. He emotionally detached himself from all around him so as to never let himself be put in the same situation again. Campbell embarked along a path of meaningless affairs or one night stands with almost every woman he encountered, and discarded them the minute they became an inconvenience, reasoning it "keeps things simple."

Upon their first meeting, Inara and Campbell clashed over a misunderstanding, beginning a trend that would continue for several weeks. However, after only a few days after their first meeting, the pair managed to work things out and became closer, though keeping up the distain of each other for appearances. After a time and several liaisons, the pair opened up to each other and unexpectedly to both while they were staying in Bella Vistal, Corellia. A few days later, Inara and Mekum came clean about their growing relationship, causing shock among some and resentment from others. However Josef DeLaurel, Inwe Ventidius and Niobe Asha, while shocked at the revelation, were unsurprised that the pair had become romantically involved.

While Mekum is not so emotionally detached, he still knows that Inara can be used against him and never allows himself to forget, despite his love and willingness to do anything for her.

Appearance

Campbell is a tall man of about perhaps just over 6 feet. He does not appear to be outwardly strong but there is a less noticeable strength in the wiriness of his frame. His face is perhaps more intriguing than the clothes he wears. His dark brown, almost black hair seems overly long, as if overdue for a haircut. The grey flecks pick up the colour in his blue-grey eyes, never unmoving, hold a sense of sharp awareness, curiousness and yet, betray the deepest of memories held within. Beneath a layer of thick stubble, his weathered features are as if they were chiselled from fleshy stone, fit flawlessly together, though marred only by a singular deep scar running up the left side of his face. The scar gives his face a mocking, sardonic cast which all but disappears when he smiles. His body is toned and well built, though still shows much wiriness in his frame for a humanoid of his size. A pair of powerful arms fall away from his broad shoulders to his sides. His legs, not unlike the rest of his body, could almost be two Wroshyr-trunks balancing his body above, moving with ease and sure felt confidence, though his stance and walk give the impression he carries a great weight with his every movement.

He wears a pair of black high-cut leather boots, much patched, but still supple and tight about his calves. Above the scared boots, he wears Imperial olive-green coveralls that have been reinforced with leather although the red stripes on the coveralls' outer seems have long faded to a dull purple. Over his body, he wears a faded and ripped green jacket that is decorated with the remnants of black piping, now so threadbare and patched, defining years of rough and determined use. Slung over his shoulder in a waterproof sheath is an Old Republic Rifle. At his waist, a long barreled blaster pistol is stuck into a snake-clasped belt, while at his left hip is a battered metal scabbard in which hangs a long, heavy straight sword.

There is one last thing to note, a presence around him, an air of calm, secure confidence.

Personal Ships

The 'Pillar of Autumn'

This Heavily modified Trilon Aggressor, given to Campbell by Alexander Fel without explanation. While externally the Trilon's appearance is as normal as the next ship, underneath the hull plating lies an advanced hyperdrive, the Sienar SSDS 11-A system. Cutting-edge sensory arrays, and one of the fastest sublight engines known to exist, the experimental high temperature X-C 2 ion drive array. It can also carry six passengers while its total capacity was 2.5 metric tons. The 'Pillar' is protected by six low-profile laser cannons which could extend and fire several laser bursts in the blink of an eye, two ion cannons and a tractor beam emitter. These upgrades and modifications, along with other confidential details allow Campbell to undertake missions of importance and secrecy with ease.
