Background
Saem Ralos is an upstart and ambitious rogue who grew up on Coruscant of all places. He has struggled his way up from the bottom of the barrel and has barely managed to remain independent to the detriment of almost all of his friends. He has many friends in the Black Sun as well as a few that traveled off to the outer rim to explore the other cartels. He even has friends who signed up with the empire, which Saem considered as well. It seemed the safest route compared to the cartels, but then... that became clearly wrong.
Now, he's just trying to keep his freedom and pay the bills.
Motivation
Freedom
Saem's purpose in life seems to have been flying fast and remaining free. He's done fairly well for himself in that regard but only because he's not afraid to run when need be.
