The current patriarch and head of the family is Khrelan Montari, proprietor of the Brewed Awakening cantina.

History

Origins

The origins of the Montari family can be traced back to the Old Republic; as far as can be determined, the Montaris have always lived on or near Coruscant. The oldest known Montari, Regulus, was said to have fled the Outer Rim due to its economic instability; he decided to travel as far coreward as he could. His battered ship set down on Coruscant after it could travel no further. Wanting to leave his troubled past behind, Regulus changed his surname to Montari and sold his ship to the first person interested. He used the last of his money and the profits from his ship to open a general store and lived the rest of his life as a shopkeeper.

After this point, several years of family history were lost. The Montaris lived average lives with varying professions and generally kept to themselves. Khrelan, the oldest living Montari, opened a cantina known as the Brewed Awakening. It was not meant to be a military bar, but soldiers and sailors always seemed to find their way to the cantina. The cantina was also a very common meeting point for traders from all across the galaxy. However, after the stories his parents told him while he was growing up, Khrelan had a mild dislike of non-humans. While there were no rules against non-humans from visiting, they were generally overcharged and given less than excellent service. As Khrelan got older, after the creation of the Empire, and shortly before the birth of his first two grandsons, the Montari patriarch became more tolerant of non-humans. He stopped overcharging them, and gave them nearly the same respect he gave to his own race.

Shortly after opening the Brewed Awakening, Khrelan met Araime Rugali. They were wed after only a few months, and had two sons within their first two years of marriage. The first, Darien, would go on to become a minor politician on Coruscant

While many members of the family spend their time off planet, all of them agree that Coruscant is their home.
