| ==Biography==
| | Hiale Serros is a medical doctor and scientist, specializing in pathology and neurophysiology. |
|
| |
|
| Serros was raised on Bastion, the son of lower-class parents. Throughout his childhood, he swore that he would rise up out of the ghetto around him, overcome it, and leave it behind. On Bastion, one's entire career was all but decided by the time the graduated from preparatory school. Knowing this, Hiale took his education very serious, graduating second in his class behind his close friend, Arik Shathis. The two were roommates at Imperial University on Bastion, and Serros decided to study biotechnology and neurobiology. He graduated Magna Cum Laude, and knew he wanted to dedicate his life to helping others. Little did he know what this help would bring him. | | == Biography == |
| | === Early Life === |
| | Hiale Serros was born in [[25_BBY_to_1_BBY|9 BBY]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]], the son of lower-class parents. From a young age, Serros realized the misfortune of his birthright and swore that he would rise to great success, despite his disadvantages. Serros approached his education with an intense passion that set him apart from his peers and quickly rose through the academic ranks. He graduated second in his class behind his close friend, [[Arik Shathis]], with whom he formed a tight bond in their shared passion for advanced scientific and technical topics. |

| After three years of general practice, during which he built a significant client base and found himself not only successful and satisfied with his career, but quite wealthy as well, he decided to look into further opportunities to help people, outside sphere of medicine. He invested much of his funds into construction projects in the various ghettos around Bastion's capital, particularly the area he come from. With the housing situation improved, he turned his eye to the job market. While looking into ways to decrease unemployment and raise wages, he received a call from his old friend Arik Shathis, asking him to join his medical team. Serros jumped at the change to work with Shathis again, and the two were brilliant together. Soon, though, tragedy struck.
| | === University === |
| | Serros and Shathis were roommates at [[starwars:Imperial University|Imperial University]]. Like his friend Arik, Hiale also chose to double major and studied microbiology and neuroscience. He and Arik achieved ''summa cum laude'' honors, but again would come in second to his close friend in class ranking. |

|
| Arik and Hiale were working the case of a patient with a degenerative neurological disease. It affected motor control, causing unsteadiness at first but eventually becoming full-blown tremors and, finally, effecting vision and speech. Oddly, this disease could be transmitted by touch, unlike most conditions of its kind. Additionally, it was a cross-species disease. A lab accident led to both doctors being infected. They managed to develop a treatment to keep themselves from infecting others, but were unable to develop a cure. The hospital was unwilling to fire them after all they had done, and so they were moved into administrative positions, eventually running the entire medical center. Hiale used his new-found influence over hospital policy to change the standard of medical care given to the poor and down-trodden, and to convince doctors to lower their pricing. | | === Medical Career === |
| | While Arik would eventually return to the Imperial University Coruscant campus to obtain his medical training, Hiale ventured to the medical campus on the core world of [[starwars:Marngar_III|Marngar III]] for his advanced degree. No longer in the shadow of his friend, Hiale found a certain momentum in his training that he had not experienced prior. In short course, Hiale would demonstrate to his professors an exceptional aptitude in both theory and application of advanced medical principles and would eventually co-author more than twenty academic research papers as a medical student. This unprecedented feat would bring a certain fame to the young physician-scientist. |

| Finally, many years later, he received another call from Arik, asking for his help with an outbreak. Overjoyed at the possibility of practicing medicine again, Serros rushed to Tarthos to assist with the plague. Together they managed to find and disseminate a cure. While Hiale entered the political spotlight, Serros enjoyed his relaxation and Serros and the continued help he provided the population. In the end, though, Hiale once more asked for his help, this time requesting that Serros join the political machine of Tarthos to serve as Legate, a position he could not turn down.
