Born to no one, Tessek grew up on the streets. Learning quickly that only the strong live on Nar Shaddaa. As soon as he could he was carrying a blaster, taking jobs with small groups of mercs and there he found his place. Reaping rewards as a soldier of fortune with groups of friends and allies alike. As time went on he found a knack for spy missions helping corporations and Hutts as a freelance spy on the side.

Early on in his career he met Zumi Lykeel a human merc just like him. They spent months together tearing through mission, after mission, after mission. After sometime Zumi asked Tessek to go out with her, of course he said yes. They were for a brief time an unstoppable force amongst Nar Shaddaa mercenaries. After multiple successful jobs they had enough money to retire from the mercenary life at the early age of 25, they set out to start up a colony and a family together.

Building a colony and a family was no small feat, but with the wealth of money they had and the new people flying in they had a decent chance of making this place work. However a streak of bad luck came, crops withered, the fine well of trade dried up, leaving the colony in a state of panic. They called for aid from the republic which they responded. They paid a steep cost to get such supplies as the republic repaid them by giving them a quarter of a normal shipment, stating that the Mando crusade has taken most the supplies. As time went on they more and more hardships piled up and as they requested more aid from the republic the less and less they saw them even move a finger to help.

Now the colony barley holding on had one last problem a band of outlaws moved into the system taxing everyone. With no money left from their mercenary days called for the republic one last time, the outlaws caught wind of this and decided the land near the colony and set an example for going against them. The defense of the colony was an absolute failure, as Tessek bunkered in their house for one last time they could see a small republic warship fly into atmosphere, finally help.

But from above it looked as if their is nothing left of colonist just outlaws, why not wipe them all out right now and be done with the problem? A moment of skipping procedures, A lazy officer and a simple command to burn it all down with turbo-cannons. No one stood a chance the colony was turned to rubble, not even the outlaws could reach their ships to escape in time.

After the firing was down Tessek crawled out of the ashes with his now gone family. A Daughter, A Son and a lover. All gone everything they built together became ashes to ashes. He burned what was left of the bodies storing them in urns and taking the last remaining outlaws ship and flying off to god knows where. He considered many options but it would the force to make the final call, as his ship exited hyperspace he found a war vessel. Being brought aboard the ship he meets Darth Gravius after explaining why he was here and what happened, which honestly he didn’t know, he just typed in a random location and hit go expecting to hit a sun along the way.

Darth Gravius after hearing all this, gives him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Now heading to Viscara with all his old skills lost to time he plans to burn down the Republic, for everything it did to him and his family.
