Talis is a Miralukan male who was born into slavery. Being sold from master to master Talis moved around so much he forgot which planet he was actually born on. Talis’ only memory of his family was of his father whom he watched die at the hands of a slave master. His name is forever remembered in the form of a brand going up the inside of his left forearm in Aurebesh. He made his way into House Odan-Urr by complete luck. The product of Revak Kur’s sympathy and mercy. Upon arrival he found himself among good people unlike his former life and like he had always done before to survive, he adapted to his new surroundings. Shortly after his arrival he was officially placed under the tutelage of Revak Kur, the Commander of his new unit, Strike-Team Ooroo.
Character History
Early Life
Talis was born into slavery and had moved so many planets before he was the age of five that he never knew his place of birth. Talis grew up with his father until around the age of seven when their luck had finally run out. Talin was caught sneaking scraps of extra food to Talis and was punished severely. He was convicted by their slave master of theft and assault for striking the slave masters son who had begun to beat Talis when he had found out. Talin was sentenced to death by lashing.
The slave masters oldest son held Talis a few meters away and forced him to watch as the Slave master beat Talin to death. Upon his father’s death the oldest son leaned in and whispered into his ears. Talis has lived with the horrifying image of his father dying and the words of the slave masters son ringing in his thoughts but has never told anyone the words that were uttered into his ears. He has vowed to return to Krayiss II and find both his old slave master and the man's sadistic son and make them regret the day they crossed paths with the Miralukan.
Slave Master Draila
At the age of eleven, Talis was sold to a new slave master off world. By this time he had begun to plan the murder of his former master. Unfortunately for him his new master lived on a space ship and rarely made orbit. Talis decided to buy his time for his return. He was assigned to meaningless tasks for the first two years of his servitude to his new master. The family grew fond of the young Miralukan and began giving him tasks that required more responsibility. Talis often found himself on the receiving end of jokes from the eldest of the children for his vestigial eye sockets and the dirty cloth that wrapped around them. This trend continued until Talis at the age of fourteen, was given as a present to the Slave Masters second oldest daughter, Draila. Talis went everywhere with the young girl. She clothed him and made sure that where ever she went, he went with her. The two grew close over the next two years.
It was unfortunately cut short during a festival on New Tython. A fight broke out between Talis and a man he caught making lewd gestures and remarks at Draila while her back was turned. Talis spent about a month in lock up before he was sold to Revak Kur who had seen the altercation and noticed that Talis controlled the fight well even though he lacked eyes or a weapon. He was freed upon arriving at, at that time House, Clan Odan-Urr
Talis' First Great Jedi War
Talis spent most of the Eleventh Great Jedi War attached to Battle Team Ooroo but got lost and separated from his team. He linked up with a high valued target, Rhiaen, whose sister was missing. They ended up engaging against Conner who fled like a coward just before Darth Necren appeared. Talis spent the first half of the fight taking on Darth Necren alone where she treated him like a child who had just constructed his first lightsaber. It wasn’t until Rhiaen pulled herself together that they started to gain ground against the Sith assassin. It didn’t last long because a few minutes into the duos onslaught Talis was overtaken by his fatigue from using his rage as much as he was. The fight looked like Darth Necren was going to end it as she tortured Rhiaen with lightning but Talis mustered all he had left and pushed the deranged sith assassin away from Rhiaen. She responded with trying to kill Talis only to be interrupted at the last possible second by his team. Talis, utterly spent and unable to move for several days and Rhiaen who would be lucky to keep one of her eyes were out of the fight. It soon ended shortly after that and Talis left New Tython to find a way to cope with what he had been through during the Great Jedi War.
Eleventh Great Jedi War Until the Sacking of New Tython
Talis spent a large quantity of time in the bars around various worlds that he bounced between. Making money on the side when he could. Helping out with odd jobs here and there. He rarely stayed in one place for more than a couple days. Mainly to avoid detection and to always keep moving just to make sure that if did ever go do a job he could claim plausible deniability or just vanish and nobody would be the wiser that some drifter disappeared. He spent most of his time, when he wasn't drifting around the galaxy in a booze induced trance, studying the intricacies of female anatomy. He stumbled across his first slave owner and his son recently and brought their slave trading business to an abrupt halt. He also found out what planet he was from in some documents and the location of Draila. She had spent some time looking for him apparently before she turned to pirating. He spent six months hunting her down only to find out that she went into wild space and hasn’t been heard from since. Talis decided to return to New Tython to take up his responsibilities once again as a Jedi.
The Worst Homecoming
Upon returning to New Tython Talis found himself in the middle of a battle for survival as soon as the ship he was on exited hyperspace. The new Grand Marshal was Sacking New Tython and killing as many people on the planet as he could. Talis managed to escape thanks to some luck and mild ignorance of where you should and should not jump to hyperspace. Like in the hangar of the destroyed Fey’lya’s Last Stand just as a way to keep covered from any tractor beams or bombardment. He also learned that it’s a good way to turn two sith into Sithcakes. Talis rendezvoused with the surviving forces aboard the two remaining Assassin-class corvettes.
