Azzmeesk

"I thought you wanted him dead... make up your blasted mind already, will you?"

 was a vicious Trandoshan bodyguard who worked for the nefarious leader of the Blue Rancors Gorge, a Houk with a serious addiction to inflicting pain and making credits. He was brooding, deadly, and yet, loyal to his master, only striking down on his enemies when commanded to do so.

Biography
Azzmeesk joined the Blue Rancors on Nar Shaddaa after leaving his secure job as a smuggler for the Republic during its time of reformation in hopes of regaining his Trandoshan honor and fighting the good fight. He quickly climbed the ranks of the gang, becoming one of the most trusted gangsters in Gorge's personal assault team. He was put in charge of torturing mutineers, deserters, or forcing those off the street into the gang. He was also considered the muscle of gang operations and often helped to destroy the enemy forces with his heavy machine gun, his life was simpler then.

His life seemed to get a little more interesting when stumbling upon a young man named Wilder Lemmham in a cantina on Nar Shaddaa's Promenade. He exchanged his tale with the deserter and the two soon made a strange connection; they both abandoned the Republic for a better life without someone judging your every move. He offered him a job in the Blue Rancors, and Wilder quickly agreed. He became good friends with the kid and the two often chatted, trusting each other with everything that crossed the other's mind. Until Wilder's father came to Nar Shaddaa.

Wilder's father tried to force Wilder back into the Republic military, but Wilder refused to go back. As tension rose, Wilder inquired the support of his friend and his girlfriend Keyhu, a Rattataki weapons expert. They intercepted his father as he attempted to pay off Gorge to send his son back to the military by force, and Wilder tried to discourage his father once and for all. His father, unfortunately, did not listen, and shoved past the gangsters. As he turned his back on them, Azzmeesk felt his friends anger and shot his father in the back, killing him.

Wilder was enraged with Azzmeesk, but he was confused as to why it was he in the wrong. In Trandoshan tradition, he would have been rewarded, but he was scolded for what should have been the ultimate show of friendship. He abandoned their friendship and they bitterly debated with each other about the situation for the coming year. Azzmeesk was preparing to apologize, but the "Red Death" came before he had his chance.

The "Red Death" was the local nick-name given to a red-skinned Feeorin Sith lord whose true name was Dreyx. He wanted business with the Houk crime lord and he wasn't about to let some measly gangsters get in his way. Azzmeesk attempted to keep the Sith from entering, throwing a punch at him as his last effort, and last mistake. He caught Azzmeesk's fist and used his lightsaber to decapitate the Trandoshan. His body fell limp and was left to rot outside the sauna.

Early life
Most of the Trandoshan's early life was erased by Gorge after he joined his gain, but we do know that he worked with the Republic as a smuggler for a brief time on his homeworld of Tattoine. He would use the barren dune seas to cover his tracks and deliver the goods to other smugglers who would run the goods off-world since he had no starship. It was an honest living, but he was never all that satisfied with the lack of honor and all the hiding that came with his job.

He was approached one day by a female Trandoshan named Slash who needed some spice smuggled off-world to Nar Shaddaa, and she came to Azzmeesk for protection. He informed her that he had no ship, but that wasn't the issue. Apparently she was being hunted by Republic soldiers and needed transport deep into the wilds of Tatooine. He agreed and after the coast was clear, she offered him to drop by on Nar Shaddaa.

Two years later, the Trandoshan finally acquired transport to the Hutt Space crime world of Nar Shaddaa and tracked his old ally down. She was working for a gang known as the Blue Rancors and offered him a job as her personal mentor for self-defense and as a bouncer for Gorge. Gorge was apprehensive about hiring another Trandoshan, but he soon came to love t=his brutish attitude and absolute devotion to the gang and his men, allowing him to climb the ranks; becoming one of Gorge's personal bodyguards.
