Csom was a burly man with scars all across his body and an iron grip. He had a no non-sense attitude that were the trademark of military veterans and tolerated no lack in discipline or attention. Soon, Ikurei came to revere the man and put all his energy and efforts into the training, absorbing the man's teachings and drinking the man's words about the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Army. Stories of comradship, battles and skirmishes, endless drills and trainings, state-of-the-art equipment and weapons of inimaginable power filled the young man's head and blotted out all his other occupation. After 4 years and 2 months of intense training, on his 28th birthday, Csom presented him with a letter of recommendation to join the Imperial Army. It was a revelation to Ikurei and the very day he strode through the nearest recruitment office.

Tall and well-built, he is wearing fashionable and tight-fitting clothes when not in uniform or armour. His dandiesque manners, charming (or exasperating) smiles and winks, love for dance and numerous other futile occupations do not always hide his sharp attention to details and martial abilities.

Biography

Pre-enlistment life

Family

Ikurei was a son of House Serper, a megalomaniac family who pretended to be of noble blood but never managed to prove it, in spite of gigantic efforts over decades. His father Bhereck, an import/export merchant, was only a distant cousin of the current Head of the Family and her mother Elayni a simple librarian, making Ikurei a far remote choice for the next Head of the Family. He had an older brother Teram and sister Jilena (twins) and a younger brother Vlondell.

Occupation and centers of interest

His family was relatively fortunate and as is customary in the Serper House the children did not attend schools but had private teachers. This gave Ikurei a sheltered youth and a strong Imperial indoctrination and no dramatic event occured to change his views. In his early 20ies he tried numerous activities and in the end decided to focus on history, dancing, writing and strategy games.

History

Ikurei has a great interest in history, in particular historical archives and events, the older the better. He likes to search old data and reference history books for past events, comparing sources and versions, looking for anomalies and disagreements, and ultimately for truth. This research and analytical exercise became a serious hobby and he started attending seminars and talks. His research focuses on the battles of the Old Republic, in particular the less known and treated conflicts between the Old Republic military and insurrection forces.

Dancing

Introduced to dancing at the age of 16, Ikurei has since that day not stopped dancing, attending courses and workshops regularly and training hard to achieve accuracy and style. He became quite able at couple dancing, in a wide variety of music styles.

Writing

Reading had become an obsession, especially history archives, and naturally writing became a natural activity, from reports to long argumentations. Although he had yet to make his research and findings in history known, lacking the reputation to publish in respected peer-reviewed periodicals, he had found a niche market which did not require him to have any kind of diploma or certification. When he was 6, his sister was gifted a Squall, a small lagomorph native to the planet Chandrila. The furry animal was adorable and her the young Serpers immediately became fond of the pet nicknamed "Great Ears". Unfortunately, the animal died within a month, provoking a drama in the family. His sister devastated, Ikurei swore he would learn everything there was to know about Squalls. It took years but eventually he reached a surprisingly high level of knowledge, and became a known authority in the minor noble circles of Coruscant. At 16 he was asked to write for a very serious holo-book project: "Good care and Love for our companions" and co-authored a chapter on the Squalls. The holo-book became a success. Since then, Ikurei is compiling his knowledge about Squalls and writing a manuscript about Squalls, intending it to be the reference on the topic.

History Investigator

After finishing his education and passing the graduation exams at the age of 20 through the holonet, he had to find a professional occupation. He chose to turn to history, not to become Historian or Academic but more of an investigator, a mix of archeologist, adventurer and historian. Surprisingly the Head of the House opposed a strong refusal, especially as History was House Serper's obsession. Ikurei fought a long time for the permission to candidate for a fund from the Imperial Academy and finally managed to wrestle a compromise: he would train for 5 years with a veteran of the Imperial Army in self defense, survival and piloting and if he proved a brilliant student he would be allowed to candidate and be supported in his research. Thus began his training with Csom.

Csom

Csom was a burly man with scars all across his body and an iron grip. He had a no non-sense attitude that were the trademark of military veterans and tolerated no lack in discipline or attention. Soon, Ikurei came to revere the man and put all his energy and efforts into the training, absorbing the man's teachings and drinking the man's words about the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Army. Stories of comradship, battles and skirmishes, endless drills and trainings, state-of-the-art equipment and weapons of inimaginable power filled the young man's head and blotted out all his other occupation. After 4 years and 2 months of intense training, on his 28th birthday, Csom presented him with a letter of recommendation to join the Imperial Army. It was a revelation to Ikurei and the very day he strode through the nearest recruitment office.

Enlistment life

Intergalactic Holdings Incorporated

On Year 12 Day 125 Ikurei requested and obtained a leave of absence which he used to meet a banker of the Interplanetary Holdings Incorporated on Borlethain, a recent and rich looking bank dedicated to the late Adim Locke, a famous local investor. His rendez_vous with a Falleen named Xunura, to discuss funding his Squall holo-book, turned short when the bank was suddenly attacked by local thugs. Armed, determined and ready to kill, the robbers seized the bank by force, killing the security guards. At that time alone in Xunura's office, Ikurei had been forced to follow the robbers in the main hall.

However the bank went into lockdown and the robbers started to lose their nerves and only their leader, a bald and ugly looking human called "Skulls" kept the robbers in line. A customer, a human called Alex Rin, had escaped the thugs attention and was causing trouble using and Skulls had decided to put an end to it, threatening to kill a hostage, a woman lying down next to Ikurei. Knowing he would be the next hostage taken, Ikurei decided to act decisively and attacked Skulls when he was not looking.

The two men went down and a vicious hand to hand struggle began. In spite of his extensive combat training, Skulls was considerably more experienced and tougher than the Coruscanti but Ikurei had gained a serious advantage by breaking the thugs knee and taking a superior position. Two other thugs in the room, a human and a wookiee ran to Skulls help but before they could reach the two fighting Alex Rin attacked the human thug. In the mean time, Ikurei had successfully used his edge and had began to strangle Skulls when the wookiee reached him. The wookiee grabbed Ikurei and began lifting him, using its inhuman strength. Ikurei had tried a last trick but it had failed to move the wookiee, but all was not lost as Alex Rin had managed to grab the other thug's blaster and had shot the wookiee in the back. Using this instant of respite Ikurei had taken hold of Skulls' blaster and shot multiple times the wookiee in the stomach, continuing strangling Skulls in the mean time. Both Skulls and the wookiee faltered at the same time and went unconscious, on the verge of death.

The last thug chose this instant to enter with a hostage. Unable to shoot the robber, Ikurei took cover but Alex Rin was injured by a blaster shot and went down. Another customer, James Aydan chose this moment to enter the hall behind the robber but his attack was so clumsy he managed to get himself shot in the gut. Ikurei had missed an opportunity to kill the thug, but the hostage decided to break loose and Ikurei seized this second chance and shot down the robber with two precise chest blaster hits, saving the hostage's life.

Moments later the local security police burst into the bank and took care of the hostages. With two hostages saved, three robbers killed Ikurei was duly congratulated by the police for his pivotal role in resolving this crisis.
