Axel Venjiks

"I fight to avenge those who were close to me." -Axel Venjiks-

Axel Venjiks was a male human that was the sole surviving member of the Venjiks Clan, a group of warriors that took refuge on Teth. At the age of ten, his home was attacked by Weequay pirates led by the infamous Hondo Ohnaka and witnessed the death of his family at the hands of Shahan Alama. While trying to escape at his father's final request, Axel was shot in the back by a Weequay and was presumed dead, but this was not the case. After the attack was over, bounty hunters Sixtat and Sugi found Axel, unconscious and barely alive and decided to take him to their own village on Maridun.

On Maridun, Axel proved himself to be a capable fighter which he demonstrated in the Battle Arena, his hand-to-hand combat skills rivaled those of the Kyuzo warrior Embo. After proving himself to be a warrior to the village's leader Satele Shan, Axel was allowed to stay in the village as long as he wanted. Throughout his life, he has fought in wars on Maridun at least three times and was even hired by the Republic to help them in the Clone Wars.
