Background
Wadu He'k's journey began in the harsh deserts of Tatooine, where he was born into slavery under the oppressive rule of the Hutt clan. From a young age, he displayed an aptitude for scavenging and tinkering, skills that became vital for survival in the unforgiving environment of his homeworld. He learned to navigate the treacherous politics of the slave community, using his technical prowess to earn the respect of his peers and garner small favors from those in power.
As he grew older, Wadu's talents became more pronounced, and he specialized in Outlaw Tech, becoming known for his ability to cobble together makeshift devices from scraps salvaged from the junkyards of Tatooine. Despite the constant struggle for survival, Wadu dreamed of freedom, a life where he could use his skills for his own benefit rather than for the profit of his Hutt masters.
His opportunity for freedom came unexpectedly during a tumultuous period on Tatooine when the Weequay launched an invasion, seeking to disrupt the Hutt's control over the planet's resources. Amidst the chaos of the invasion, Wadu seized his chance, utilizing his ingenuity to slip away from his captors. He scavenged what he could, piecing together a makeshift escape plan from the wreckage left in the wake of the conflict.
Fleeing aboard a stolen freighter, Wadu found himself on the bustling streets of Coruscant, a world vastly different from the sandy dunes of Tatooine. However, trouble followed him as local authorities caught wind of his illicit activities. In a daring escape, Wadu discovered a stowaway onboard his ship - a young boy named Hognar, seeking refuge from the harsh realities of the galaxy.
Seeing a reflection of his own past in Hognar, Wadu took the boy under his wing, recognizing the potential for a kindred spirit in the young orphan. Together, they embarked on a journey across the stars, seeking out work wherever they could find it, navigating the dangers of the galaxy while forging an unlikely bond amidst the chaos of their adventures. As they roamed from one job to the next, Wadu remained ever vigilant, determined to carve out a better life for himself and his newfound companion in a galaxy full of uncertainty.
