Orv Dessrx

Template:Krath charinfo Orv Dessrx is approximately 1.8 meters in height, of athletic build and keeps what hair grows on his head completely shaven. As with most Teltior, his skin is chalky-white and eyes a deep black. He dresses in fashionable Merisee clothing and prefers pants/shirt over robes if possible.

Character History

Orv Dessrx led a fairly mundane childhood as the son of a Merisee Ambassador to the New Imperial Senate - and assistant to the Merisee Senator. At the age of 18, Orv became the Clerk and Assistant Ambassador of his father, Godec Dessrx. Following in his father's footsteps and turning towards politics was to set the stage for the rest of Orv's life. At 18, his position - an assistant of an assistant of a senator - was meager, but a step in the right direction.

Political Maneuvers

At the age of 22 Standard Years, Orv's father and mother died in a tragic speeder accident thus leaving Merisee's Ambassador position vacant. A number of politicians vied for the position, yet it was not only Orv's family ties and familiarity with the position that landed him the job as Ambassador of Merisee to the New Imperial Senate...Orv's ability to sift through data and dig up 'dirt' on his opponents played a large part in his campaign. Within months, Orv held his father's office and began preparations for his next political move.

Senator Yig Vesathi was aging and slowly losing favor with the Senate and his home planet, Merisee. Orv was there to advise and coerce Yig into actions that would lead to his eventual downfall. Who was there to pick up the pieces? Why, Merisee's own Teltior prodigy...Orv Dessrx. After winning a landslide victory in the Senatorial election, Orv - at merely the age of 25 - became the youngest senator elect in Merisee's history.

Orv, now living a Senator's life was too ambitious to sit idle. He made quick use of his knowledge of communication technologies and his uncanny knack for acquiring - however seedy - information on any topic. He joined a communications committee and soon acquired the rank of Minister of Communications for the New Imperial Senate within 2 years. With this new state of office, Orv still thirsted for influence and power. His eyes were on the Chancellor's seat.

After 2 years as the Minister of Communications, various bits of information floated to the surface from "unknown" sources that eventually led to the retirement of the Chancellor of the New Imperial Senate. There was a race for such a coveted position, yet Orv's reach was too broad for the other candidates to overcome. Within a month, Orv Dessrx sat at the head of the Senate...Oh his father would be proud.

Soon, however, whispers began to circulate of Orv's push for the Chancellor seat and after some confrontation and bad media - rather than losing all his political pull, he stepped down as Chancellor and disappeared for a 3 years...but kept his network of intelligence active.

Joining the Dark Brotherhood

It was during that time that he was approached by Mejas Doto regarding the Dark Brotherhood and all it had to offer...The influence...the power... Too much to resist, Orv has found himself devoting his time to the Dark Brotherhood. While he desires to further the goals of the Brotherhood, Orv has his own agenda and plans to increase his foothold in the galaxy at large. Ambition is a beautiful thing.

Orv Dessrx is hesitant with this direction in life...joining the Dark Brotherhood is a more obvious grasp at power, thus he tends to be on edge with his contacts withing the Brotherhood. His primary motive for joining the Dark Brotherhood is merely for personal gain - to make use of the vast influence the Brotherhood possesses, thus increasing his wealth, influence, and power.

Impediments

Orv's biggest impediment is his over-eagerness to succeed and gain influence. While this is often a display of strength, his steadfast determination to grasp at power causes bitterness and distrust in peers.

Allergies

Orv is moderately allergic to Bantha fur. He avoids these beasts at all costs lest he breaks out in purple hives and goes into sneezing fits.
