Mek'nik has been working tramp freighters for several years as a mechanic, and comms/sensor/assistant astrogator. Recently, his latest ship was boarded and disabled by the Empire. When they didn't find what they wanted, they left leaving the ship dead in space. Only the timely intervention by a Rebellion scout team saved the crew.

Creations/Art(Technology) - at his core, Mek'nik is a geek. He builds things, repairs things, and tinkers with things because it's part of his root nature. Looking at a piece of junk makes the gears turn in his head about how to fix or improve it - if that's not possible, what can he scrounge from it to fix something else.

Discipline/Obstinance

Reptilian with smooth grey/blue skin & large red eyes.
