Character History

Where it all began

Quejo Bandon was a decendant of Lord Malik's Apprentice, Darth Bandon. After his ancestor was slain at the hands of the Dark Lord Revan, the remaining family would go into hiding, fearing that Revan would be angered by his foiled assasination attempt. For centuries the Bandon name would be kept out of the record books, it was a name that seemed to of been cursed, as many of the elder members of the family were either murdered or imprisoned. The name would soon change to hide the identity of the Sith's family. The new name was Armidian, but it wouldnt last. The year was approximately 22 BBY when a young politician, Crytalia Armidian gave birth to a Son on the transport vessel Maverick IV. However soon after child birth she died in the arms of the young Quejo's father, Damias. He was a Mercenary after leaving the Galactic Empire and a traitor in the eyes of the Imperials. Though he was a battle hungry soldier he never saw himself as an evil man. He was compassionate and willing to show mercy to defeated enemies and his respect for military tactics gave him the prowess needed to gain more victories than losses.

For years the young Quejo would learn under his father's tutelage, forced to undergo rigerous body hardening excersizes and combat training for the majority of his teen life. Quejo on the other hand didnt mind waking up in the morning and hitting the sparring mats nor did he complain. There was something about beating his opponent with his bare hands that appealed to him, whether it was the blood staining his knuckles or the feeling after landing a critical strike to determine the winner. His lust for a fight didnt come without consequence though, for it wouldnt be long before he became a slave to the Empire. When Quejo was no more than eighteen years old he had learned from an unknown force that his father had been arrested by the Empire and convicted of insubordination. His sentence, execution at the hands of a firing squad. There was no way that Quejo was gonna let that happen without a fight so he gathered two of closest friends, Shenet Davossa and Dugan Draymo, they too attended Quejo's training classes and grew to care for Damias as if he were their father, it was easy for the young Armidian to convince them to join the fight.

Plotting and careful plans were made and the rescue attempt soon began. Their plan was to use Damias' personal freighter a YT-2400 called the Legacy to infiltrate the hangar of the Star Destroyer carrying Quejo's father. With clearance codes bought from the black market they easily convinced the Imperials that they were delivering a shipment of ammunition. Plan one had been successfully completed but plan two was where thing's went wrong. As they made their way to the brig, Shenet was discovered by a Security droid and shot in the shoulder as he attempted to flee the hall. It wasnt long before they were forced to make an escape on the Legacy. As they left the hangar, their hyperdrive was their only salvation as they barely escaped the Empire's Fist.

Later that afternoon, Quejo recieved a new message but it wasnt a pleasant one. Due to his failed rescue attempt, his father Damias had been executed. Quejo was crushed by the news and bought a bottle, resorting to the only thing that could bring him comfort. The death of his father wasnt his fault because he was already sentenced to die, but he had robbed his father of the last few days he had left.
