Character History

Youth

Born on Corellia, Valhavoc had an average childhood. Coming from a middle class family he had neither a life of privilege or poverty. He was raised by his father and half brother who is 8 years older than him. Valhavoc's father was a low level administrator working for a medium size starship manufacturer, which produced sensor arrays for the Republic Navy. His mother was never known to him. Eventually his brother became a Freighter Captain transporting raw materials for the same manufacturer as their father.

NRIS: (20 - 27 ABY)

Valhavoc went on to join New Republic Intelligence Service and was assigned to develop Underworld Contacts in crime cartels on Nar Shadda and Hutta, while reporting information back to HQ on future Cartel plans.

This initial assignment showed Valhavoc was skilled at information gathering and interrogation, while some of his methods were questionable Valhavoc operated within Republic guidelines and didn't overtly use unapproved interrogation techniques. He was granted a degree of leniency by his superiors because of his success. The Agent seemed to have a good instinct of when individuals were being less than honest with him, this was thought to be due to his training.

In 26 ABY (age 24) there was a large explosion at the manufacturing plant that Valhavoc's father worked at which resulted in the deaths of two dozen persons working at the manufacturing site, including his father. A little known anarchist group claimed to be responsible.

It was determined that the incident would be investigated by local Correlian Authorities. Over the next six months little progress was made during the investigation, and only a few suspects were apprehended. No evidence was found which could directly link anyone to the attack. Frustrated with the incompetence of the local authorities Valhavoc began making inquiries about the attack with the connections he had developed inside the Cartel. Over the next three months he found several leads, all of which were located on Correlia.

Revenge: (27 ABY)

Nine months after the attack Valhavoc made an official request to be reassigned to Correlia in order to further investigate the explosion. A reluctant approval was granted, due to the personal implications he had with the event. However it was stipulated that individuals responsible were to be apprehended and tried in the Republic court system. Using the information he had gathered from his Cartel informants Valhavoc was able to set up several meetings with lower level members of the anarchist cell. Over the next year he continued his infiltration of the anarchist cell, constantly working to get closer to the individuals involved in conducting and planning the attack.

His efforts paid off when he was finally able to identify the cell's explosives expert who rigged the device and the pilot who flew the rigged shuttle to the factory. After a series of brief and brutal interrogations, both of which ended in the execution of the individuals involved in the attack, Valhavoc determined that the factory's Security Director had been paid off to grant the unregistered shuttle access to the facility.

Next Valhavoc broke into and searched the Security Office at the starship manufacturer, there he found proof of payoff to grant access to an unregistered shuttle by cell's front man. He then began tracking the movements of the Security Director, eventually cornering him in the back room of a run down cantina. Valhavoc's interrogation was interrupted by the unanticipated arrival of a young Jedi Knight who found the security Director beaten, bruised, with two fingers cut off and missing an ear, which Valhavoc was currently holding. Despite Valhavoc's attempts to explain to the Jedi the reasons for what was going on the Jedi remained resolute that the Director would be properly tried and Valhavoc's actions would be reported to his chain of command.

Following a Court Martial Valhavoc received a Dishonorable Discharge from the Intelligence Service, and continued his quest to find and destroy the anarchist cell on his own. Unfortunately his leads had run cold without access to the Intelligence Database. Months later he learned that the information he had brutally pulled from the anarchists led Intelligence to their leader and resulted in the destruction of the cell.

The knowledge that he had been cheated from exacting revenge, and the same "crimes" which had condemned him to being removed from his position led to the discovery and destruction of the cell enraged him. The hypocrites in the Republic and the Jedi Order had gladly used the information he had pulled from anarchists over months of work to dismantle a threat with one hand, while damning him and ruining his reputation with the other.

Survival: (28-31 ABY)

Valhavoc returned to Nar Shadda and used several Cartel contacts developed years early to gain access to Underworld Cartels once again. He became a moderately successful information dealer and occasionally would accept a job to pick up a bounty. In earnest, he was passionate about neither of these pursuits in life, mostly using them as a way to ensure he had a place to live and enough credits to fuel his binge drinking, nights which usually ended with him being thrown out of a bar after starting a fight with some Republic sympathizer.

Trivia
