Background
Thollen was an weapons designer for BlasTech Industries. As part of his job, he was to design upgrades to the old DC-17 hand blaster. One day an Imperial inspector decided to conduct a surprise inspection at my facility, along with an Imperial officer. Despite constant warnings not to touch any of the test equipment, the officer decided he would test fire one of Thollen's modded blasters. The Blaster exploded and took completely decimated one of the Officer's hands. Thollen was temporarily arrested, but was released shortly after. However the officer used his influence to ensure not only Thollen was fired, but he was unable to obtain any legitimate jobs or loans to start his own business. With his savings slowly running out, he eventually had to turn to jobs in the under world to make a living.
Motivation
Thollen wants to invent a weapon or weapon system that can rival weapons from existing manufacturers and start his own corporation. As such he is constantly tinkering, modding, and designing weapons.
Obligations
Criminal: Do to the Imperial officer's influence, Thollen is on the Empire's watch list. Though he wouldn't be arrested on sight, he is unable to find legitimate work or get loans in imperial territory. He started offering his services to some of the more... unscrupulous crowds.
