Background
Vartin Cronon was born and raised in a small settlement in the jungles of Uvena Prime. He learned how to navigate the jungles, set traps, and hunting prey, and became one of the best trackers in the settlement. He developed a close bond with a female Shistavanen from the settlement, Silaph Kerol, who became his mate, and the pair had one child, a boy who they named Vosif.
However, three years ago, Vartin was off hunting when he saw Imperial Transports and TIE fighters flying overhead in the direction of his settlement. Worried, he made to return to the settlement, though he was slowed by having to avoid and/or deal with several patrols of Stormtroopers.
When he made it back to the settlement, there were corpses and ruined buildings everywhere, and the Imperials were gone. Only a few survivors remained, and from them he learned that the Imperials had attacked with no warning, killing any who resisted while taking all the rest, for a reason they did not know yet, the ones who remained only did so by hiding or playing dead. Silaph and young Vosif were among those taken.
Knowing that he needed to rescue his mate and child (if they were still alive), Vartin left Uvena Prime, eventually joining the Rebel Alliance forces in the Lantilles Sector. His skills and abilities make him one of the best jungle combatants in the Sector Force. He fights the Empire to the best of his ability, taking on the toughest missions he can, even as he continues to search for his family.
In a recent mission, Vartin was able to rescue Vosif from a base established as a trap by an ISB agent. He also was 'given' a hand from another Shistavanen, and still has no idea where Silaph is. He will keep searching for her, though.
Motivation
Quest/Rescue - When the Empire destroyed Vartin's settlement on Uvena Prime, they also imprisoned and took away his mate and their young son. His primary goal is to find where his family is imprisoned, and rescue them from the Empire. He has found his son so far, and rescued him, but there is still no sign of Vartin's mate... Though, at the same time, he has dedicated himself to rescuing others imprisoned and subjugated by the Imperials, as well.
Duties
Enemy Demoralization (Old) (100 Points) - In combat, especially in jungle, Vartin uses the terrain to conceal himself from his foes, setting traps for them, and attacking unseen from a multitude of angles. Obviously, if he defeats the enemy, that's good, but if he can get them to run away or even surrender, that's even better.
Placard Hunter (Current) (15 Points) - As he experiences battle after battle, Vartin finds it harder to demoralize Imperial troops than he was expecting. That said, he has learned that taking out enemy commanders is a surefire way to get the enemy disoriented and demoralized, so while he still lays traps and snares, when he can, his primary focus in battle has become the elimination of enemy officers and other key assets.
Duty Total: 115
