Blarex is a Human bounty hunter and member of House Galeres and Clan Arcona
Personal History
Early Childhood
Blarex was born Han Framke in Coronet City, Corellia in 15 ABY to Jorn Framke and Mari Posilla. His father Jorn, a very proud Corellian patriot, named his son after his idol Han Solo. Jorn is descended from a long line of successful business owners on Corellia, their family wealth coming from the manufacture of coolant pumps to supply companies such as Corellian Engineering Corporation. As a child, Han was very close to his father's family, this is partly due to the fact that he would eventually inherit the family business. Han never saw or knew much of his mother's side of the family. Growing up, all Han was only aware that her family lived in the Outer Rim and that he'd get a birthday card from his grandfather each year with 100 credits.
File:CorellianBoy.jpgConfrontation at SchoolFor his tenth birthday, Han's father gave his son a top of the line new datapad. Although his mother thought this an extravagant gift to give to a ten year old, his father said as the heir to his business he had to start acting like a CEO. Instead of reading financial reports and stock tickers, the ten year old actually used this to read news of the war. Early the next year an older boy at Han's school stole the datapad after roughing him up. Han was both furious that the boy had stole from him but also afraid that his father would be angry that he let it out of his sight. Han decided not to tell anyone at school and tried to recover his stolen property on his own.
Han stalked the older child, first he found out from other students which hovertrain the boy took home and boarded the train unbeknownst to the other child. Han trailed his prey tactfully and got off at the same stop as the older child, once again without the other boy knowing. Once the other student went down an alleyway, Han saw his chance to strike. Young Framke attacked and broke the older boy's nose, left hand and fractured a rib. The fight was broken up by a random passerby and the man called CSF because he was afraid Han had actually killed the other boy. Jorn's political connections, a sizable payoff, and the fact that the other boy was still alive, got Han out of any major disciplinary action with the authorities. However, after this altercation his mother urged his father to enroll their son in formal fighting classes would teach him discipline and help him control his anger. Han was enrolled at a Dulon school that was near his families apartment.
Over the next three years, the young Corellian boy became somewhat of a local phenom in the martial arts scene, taking on two or three other students his level at a time. Han's Dulon instructor mentioned to his parents that it seemed that the boy was not just reacting to his opponents but actually preemptively countering their moves. He suggested that the boy may have some level of Force sensitivity. Again using the pull of the Framke name, his parents contacted the locally deployed Jedi in Coronet. His mother was very reluctant at first however she was overruled by her husband and his family, they decided that having a Jedi in the family could only further the influence of the Framke name.
The boy was taken to the local Jedi enclave in 28 ABY. The Jedi did determine that the boy did have enough force aptitude, although not above the average youngling, to warrant Jedi training. Unfortunately, Han failed all of the mental tests and was deemed too aggressive to be admitted to the Order. His Father pleaded with the Jedi, even offered a bribe, desperate to have his son and heir trained as a Jedi. The Jedi was disgusted at the attempt and demanded that the Framke's leave.
Adolescent Years
Han's Practice SwordHan's failure with the Jedi created a rift between the now teenage Corellian and his father. However, he became even closer to his mother during this time. She took a keen interest in his development as a martial artist and was present with her child at every event over the next three years. By 31 ABY, Han was dominating the local Dulon scene and the 16 year old was approached by a Kartranin instructor. The man, Jin-She, was person Han was familiar with. Jin-She was known to only teach students that he personally chose for his school, and charged no fee. When Han told his mother she immediatly commed Jin-She to officially accept the offer and offered a very large donation to his school. She then took Han out to purchase his first training sword, which she spared no expense on, much to the chagrin of his father. Jorn was still unimpressed with his son and saw Han's martial arts training consolation prize, he believed his son was living below his potential.
It was not long before Han again began excelling in his new chosen form as well. He quickly mastered the basics of Kartranin and by his first year of study was proficient in the same techniques as students that had been practicing for four or five years. Recognizing the raw potential in the young man, Han's master took him in as his primary pupil and taught him the rare art of Tu'rek. Merging this new form with his others, and his latent Force abilities, the young man was now unstoppable. He won every competition that he entered in 32 ABY by a wide margin. He even began to attract a small following of fans in Coronet, although his mother still was his biggest fan.
At this time, professional talent managers began taking notice of Han. Han's father, seeing an opportunity to restore some glory lost by the failure with the Jedi, took over the negotiations with all of these prospective managers. In the end Tranik Maltin of the Galactic City Sports Agency from Coruscant was selected by Jorn to represent his son. Han's was taken out of high school and given a personal tutor by his sports agency. The workouts he was now put through turned the toned but diminutive young man into a hulking mass of muscle. By the time Han reached age 18, and adulthood, he was ready for a shot at the big time.
Young Adulthood
File:CoronetCity.jpgCoronet the night of the fightTranik organized Han's fight in 33 ABY, with one of his other up-and-coming clients. Han's opponent was a Fondorian Jar'Kai artist Kopin Rewa. Both young men were extremely skilled in their chosen forms and were made aware that the loser of the fight would likely be dropped from the talent agency. The venue of the fight was Han's home city of Coronet on Remembrance Day. The arena sold out in ten galactic standard hours, much of the city was eager to root on Han, who at this point had become a full-fledged local celebrity.
Han arrived at the arena much earlier than the crowds that afternoon. As he entered the arena and approached the ring, he saw his mother in the front row. His father was not sitting next to her, in his place was an older man that he had never seen before. As the fight began, he pushed all of this from his mind, convinced that he would need all of his oncentration to defeat his opponent. Han and the crowd were mistaken. The fight was over in two minutes, Han was able to disarm and defeat his opponent before the end of the first round. As the crowed stared in stunned silence, Han stood in the middle of the ring disappointed in the outcome. He was hoping that by moving onto the larger galactic circuits he would find opponents that would challenge him.
His mother was waiting for him in the locker room, along with the strange man that was sitting next to her. She told Han that the man was Kitrum Posilla her father, his grandfather, and it was time he knew about the Posilla family. His grandfather told Han that the family was a long line of bounty hunter and mercenaries dating back thousands of years. He said that the family traces it's history back to a man knows as Blarex the Patriarch, a bounty hunter from an era of history known as the Cold War. This, coupled with his Force Sensitivity, was why he would never find a challenge in organized fighting. Only in the life and death underworld would he truly ever find a challenge.
Kitrum revealed that the family had for many generations began to compile the family history, including his own. However, there were few records available concerning The Patriarch. Kitrum spent his entire life searching for these record between jobs and finally had a lead, but he could not follow it due to his deteriorating health. He urged young Han to forsake his safe lifestyle on Corellia and become the soldier of fortune that he was meant to be. Han accepted and changed his name to Blarex after that of The Patriarch. His grandfather then told him that he had a lead on Nal Hutta however the information was in the possession of a small-time Hutt crime boss name Kirga. Beyond that, he knew nothing else about the long lost information and the newly Christened Blarex would have to figure out how to recover it.
Upon hearing that his son was entering into what he saw as the dregs of society, Jorn disowned his son and would never speak with him again. However, he was still the legal heir to the family business and as such had a large enough ownership share to provide a modest income. He took ownership of his grandfather's old VT-49 Decimator as his mother made sure her father was placed into hospice care at the finest hospital on Corellia. With the ship and the rest of the old bounty hunter's equipment Blarex began taking low-paying bounties to begin building up his credibility with prospective employers. He knew that his end result would be to eventually get close to Kirga the Hutt even if it took years of posturing.
