Background
Zarek was raised among smugglers, slicers, and bounty hunters, where he quickly learned that information was the true currency of the galaxy. While soldiers and pilots fought their wars in the open, Zarek thrived in the shadows. Cantinas, shadowports, and black-market bazaars became his hunting grounds, places where Imperial secrets slipped between whispered deals and careless boasts.
His network of criminal contacts remains unaware of his true allegiance. To them, Zarek is just another grifter, fixer, or data broker trading favors and half-truths. In reality, every deal, every false smile, and every carefully placed word serves the Alliance. He delivers intelligence the Rebellion could not otherwise obtain: convoy manifests, troop deployments, hidden weapons caches, and whispered rumors of Imperial strategy.
