Jalc Bolzano is a smuggler hardened by life’s effects on him. Formerly a tool of the Bothan Spynet, Jalc left abruptly for reasons unknown to many following the death of his pseudo-brother and mission partner Xusu Nhorga. Seeing that this stealing and deception were benefitting someone, Jalc decided it might as well benefit his own interests. Drinking, thievery, and gambling can only go so far and Jalc has seen to run up some debts with many fellow smugglers and undesirables across the galaxy. He joins our party looking for some money to pay these debts and maybe go back to helping the galaxy in the process. However, deep beneath Jalc’s carefree surface lies a dark secret about a hidden planet that would shock many…

Jalc was born in 27 BBY and raised on the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui where his family were considered outsiders due to his parents smuggling connections. This situation is what causes such a notable distinction about Jalc; he is only referred to by his family name with no clan name attached to it. This status led to his parents accepting any job for credits as they had no other choice. After being caught in the act of smuggling a shipment onto Bothawui that ended up containing Spice, Jalc was faced with a decision: use his talents to help further the planet’s interests in the Bothan Spynet or he and his family would face punishment for importing such a nasty product. This resulted in Jalc becoming one of the youngest of the Bothan Spynet at the tender age of 16. Running missions non-stop in an effort to work off his sentence resulted in Jalc becoming quite the formidable smuggler, finding ways to get anything from weapons to entire groups of people across checkpoints throughout the galaxy. Always by his side after being assigned together on a mission in 8 BBY was his partner Xusu Nhorga, a stellar pilot that looked for the best in everyone. However, in 3.5 BBY Jalc left the Bothan Spynet after the untimely death of Xusu Nhorga. Now we find him living life to his fullest after having spent ages advancing others' interests.

+10 Criminal & +10 Bounty: Even after 15 years of serving the Bothan Spynet and losing his best friend, those in charge are still upset about Jalc running away after the death of Xusu Nhorga. Not only are they upset about that, but the exact nature of Jalc's former partner death coming out could hurt the reputation of the Spynet. It is in their best interest in keeping Jalc under their control or quiet about Nhorga's death by any means necessary. This has led Jalc into a life of laying low, going from odd job to odd job in order to make money to spend at the cantinas of the galaxy

Jalc may appear like your average Bothan from far away, standing 158 cm tall and sporting a short braided beard, but up close you realize the toll life has taken on him. A cantina scrap over a game of Sabacc against a Trandoshan mercenary left him missing part of his right ear. A quick glance at his left arm would reveal a patch of fur missing in favor of scar tissue from a blaster wound suffered while working for the Bothan Spynet. His tired eyes, hiding behind a coy smile, gaze absently across the bar. His white tunic that he dons over his muted orange jumpsuit has a stain or two, although it’s indistinguishable whether it’s alcohol or enemies blood. His hand often rests on his light blaster pistol in his holster, although he hopes to talk his way out of most situations.
