Born on the polluted planet Balosar Mort Astru grew up working (and stealing) with the hope that he could get off world. After he managed to get enough credits to catch a ship out of there he joined up with a gang that did small jobs for the Black Sun. The thieving skills Mort had were tested and honed while he traveled with his gang.
However, the leader of the gang kick him out after a argument about Mort's fair share of credits. And so he wandered the galaxy, traveling from ship to ship, star port to star port. This continued for some time, until he learn of a newly discovered planet that was building a colony.
"Yeah, maybe this can be a new start for me."

Ambition- Greed
Mort is always on the look for not only credits, but any sort of luxury items that he can afford or steal.

Cause-Crime
Mort sees crime as more a way to live in a rough world. The fat cats of the galaxy don't care about the little folk they step on. So the small time crooks got to help each other out from time to time.

+10 Addiction
Mort is attempting to rid himself of his Death Stick habit. He has gotten past the worst of the withdraws but still has to fight the cravings, he does this with the help of other vices such as alcohol or sweet fizzy drinks.
