Background
Twenty years ago, Spiral was a young child traveling with his parents on a resort space yacht when it was beset by Weequay pirates. By sheer numbers, the ship’s security force was overwhelmed. Passengers and crew alike were relieved of credits and valuables. It would have ended there, if not for the careful eye of the Weequay pirate captain. He recognized that Spiral, a young and beautiful Zeltron boy, would fetch an incredible price to the right buyer. That was the last day that Spiral saw his family.
After being sold to a wealthy crime mistress on Corellia, Spiral was, surprisingly, raised with care and devotion as close to a royal upbringing as one could imagine in the underworld of the Blue Sector. Spiral had an affinity with people and music and his mistress nurtured these abilities. He was given many musical instruments to learn but the 8-string Zabrak Quetarra was the one that he played with an innate mastery. At a young age, his skills with the instrument became well known even among the Zabraks. His performances were used by the mistress to entertain her many guests before “business” meetings. His final performance for his mistress was right before a meeting-turned-coup where her right hand man betrayed her to her rival. Following the bloodbath, Spiral was once again alone, in the ruins of his second life.
Spiral salvaged all the credits and jewelry he could find and took to the streets of Treasure Ship Row where he learned to survive using his wits, charm and innate talents. It wasn’t long before talk of the exotic and beautiful Zeltron who wielded the Quetarra like a godly artifact began to spread among the cantinas in the Blue Sector. Under the moniker Aeau the Beau, Spiral began playing cantinas all along The Row amassing a substantial following.
The notoriety and fame led to exclusive appearances and performances in many high-brow functions including one extravagant party at the Corona House, the abode of the chief executive of Corellia. The chief executive was host to the engagement party of a Republic Senator and his bride, a very beautiful heiress of a shipping conglomerate on this fateful night and catalyst of mayhem to come...
Motivation
• Fame
Spiral seeks the limelight and wants to be famous. He wants his deeds, actions and music to make the HoloNet for all to see and revels in the attention given by fans and supporters. Though he has troubles with the Republic from his past, he has reasoned that his best defense is to hide-in-plain-sight and become the most famous entertainer in the galaxy.
Obligations
• Philanderer (Imperial Moff) - Magnitude 10
Spiral bedded an enamored fan after one of his performances on Corellia. As fate would have it, the young lady was the promised bride of a Republic Senator who had decided to go slumming in search of a musician that she had seen perform at her engagement party. She found him at Mynock’s Haven on the Treasure Ship Row fulfilling is two night contract with the cantina.
The encounter should have been discreet but during a heated argument, the young lady, hoping to shatter her soon-to-be-husband’s fragile ego, recounted her lustful tryst with the exotic and extremely capable Zeltron. Incensed, the Senator sent troopers tearing through The Row one cantina after another in search of Spiral. With a warning from one of the dancers at Bovo’s, Spiral managed to stay one step ahead and escaped to The Pit where he hid within the shanty city among the tinkers and scrappers. With the landing bays locked down and his face plastered across the Imperial wanted list, Spiral had to lay low for weeks as he arranged to be smuggled off planet.
• Responsibility (Madame Hesta) - 5
Madame Hesta is the proprietor of a cantina called Ship Faced located in the Blue Sector of Coronet City on Corellia. Madame Hesta was a surrogate mother for Spiral while he was surviving on the streets and making a name for himself. As much as she pretended to be annoyed and burdened by the young scoundrel, she never failed to ensure that he always had at least a meal a day and a warm place to sleep at night. Spiral still discreetly maintains contact with Madame Hesta and occasionally sends her credits to help her keep the struggling cantina afloat.
• Favor (CIS) - 0
Being wanted for having shamed a Republic Senator was one thing but disgracing the honored guest of the chief Executive of Corellia also did not make matters any better. Spiral, after weeks of laying low and waiting for an opportunity, could not find a way off planet. His likeness was plastered everywhere and the Senator made it very clear that the one who located Spiral would be very well compensated.
It was only a short matter of time before Spiral was inevitably found though who found him was quite unexpected. Though it was never revealed publicly why Spiral was a fugitive, the urgency of the demand from the Senator made Spiral a high-value target...and a high-value target to the Republic is a high-value target to the CIS. Spiral was apprehended by a CIS agent posing as a smuggler willing to extricate him off the planet. He was taken off planet, alright, straight into the interrogation rooms of the CIS compound off-planet. For over a month, Spiral was pampered and questioned then starved and interrogated. When it was finally clear that Spiral possessed no Republic secrets and that his absurd story about a fling with a Republic Senator’s bride-to-be was the cause of all this commotion, the agents cut a deal with Spiral and promised to release him as a free man with the condition that he act as the their eyes and ears in the cantinas. As if being wanted by the Senator wasn’t enough, now he was being forced to play watchdog for the CIS.
