Calliban Crimson is the leader of the Crimson Tide, an organization that has attacked Clan Plagueis several times. His role as commander of the Crimson Tide made him a threat to Clan Plagueis, who had placed a fifty thousand credit (50,000 cr) bounty on his head. Following his death in the War of Ascension at the hands of Vivackus Kavon, Crimson and his Tide were finally destroyed.
History
Little is known of the early life of Calliban Crimson. The act that gained him control of the Crimson Tide perhaps best summarizes his character and approach to existence in general. Calliban Crimson killed his sister in order to seize control of the Crimson Tide and transform it into a para-military organization bent upon conquest and subjugation. He had built an army unbeknownst to her and seized control of the Crimson Tide organization in 14 ABY. Following the murder of his sister and assumption of power Crimson Calliban put to death any and all who even looked askance at him for the means he chose to seize control of the organization.
After his treacherous rise to power, Calliban Crimson accepted the commission from an unknown figure to wage war and destroy the former Clan Satal Keto of the Dark Brotherhood. The mysterious figures reason and Calliban's reward remain unknown but the Crimson Tide's aggression toward Clan Plagueis (successor of Clan Satal Keto) remains a fact even though the first and second and third engagements have gone to Clan Plagueis.
Calliban reorganized the Crimson Tide and recruited a variety of beings to assist his megalomania. Jonah Kraul - a general made Admiral from the days of the Galactic Empire; Ravian Pulastra - a former First Sergeant of the New Republic Army; Nemo Dupar and Semyon Cain - Rogue Jedi; a diverse group joined for a common purpose - the destruction of Clan Plagueis. These members joined the likes of the brilliant Dr. Fenson Ryburn and the relentless Alonzo Bodelle.
Calliban Crimson hopes that the assemblage of such talent will counter what those in his employ dare not speak. That is, Calliban Crimson, though possessing the necessary audacity and ruthlessness to succeed, lack the fundamental skills to ever amount to much more than a generic thug. The group of beings he has assembled, hopes Calliban, will more than cover for his ineptitude and excesses.
Other
- Calliban Crimson has a biomechanical right arm and right leg. He was severely wounded in a boarding action early in his career. The medical prowess of Dr. Fenson Ryburn saved his life.
- Despite his own penchant for betrayal and treachery, Calliban Crimson relies upon the loyalty of his staff and underlings. Surprisingly, or perhaps not so given his many reprisals and cleansings, Calliban Crimson has few safeguards in place against betrayal and trusts those in his charge.
- Calliban Crimson's mood can change in an instant. One moment he could appear jolly and the next he could burst into a killing rage. Whether this is a function of his insecurity or his ineptness is unknown. What is known, however, is that whatever joy he takes from his existence will be at the expense of others and leave a wake of misery.
