Selessa Kellarov

"Everyone dies eventually. I just happened to have sped up the process in this particular instance."

- Selessa Kellarov

Selessa Kellarov was a Human female born 4 ABY. Her parents were murdered while she was still young, and while she did live in above average housing, she couldn't shake a strange feeling she held within her. A feeling of anger and hatred, a desire to hurt. While she did her best to bury the feelings, it did land her on the wrong side of the authorities more than once. Though through her aggressive nature, she would be invited to join the Black Manka fight club. She worked as a bounty hunter for the organization and was efficient at her work.

Early years
From her earliest memories, Selessa lived on the streets of Nar Shaddaa and made a living stealing, fighting, and if necessary, killing. She, along with several others, made her home in an Imperial Star Destroyer that had crashed on the planet during the Empire's height of power. It can be speculated that her parents had also lived there, as many of the inhabitants knew her by name, and would generally look out for her.

Teen years
"Fool. As far as I'm concerned, if you do not get audio confirmation, you did not succeed..."

- Selessa, after killing a Rodian

During her early teens, Selessa was still considered to be a rookiee among the local criminal population, and was challenged by them on more than one occasion. One such incident saw her face off against a trio of Rodian's. The conflict began with a contract dispute. The Rodian's signed Selessa for a hit, she was to kill her target, and return with the body as evidence.

While Selessa did complete the kill, she was injured in the attack, and returned with only the target's ID tag. On the other end, the Rodian's believed they were being taken for a ride, as Selessa did not return with the body, as per the agreement. She attempted to explain that the target fell from the roof during the job, but without a body, the Rodian's would not pay. Selessa, quickly becoming angered, demanded that they pay, or die. The Rodian's clearly took exception to this, and attacked her. The Rodian's gained the upper hand for a brief period, but just as one of them was about to deliver a punch, Selessa dodged and returned with her own. The Rodian was taken off guard, and stumbled backward, landing on his back. The other two Rodian fired off a few shots at Selessa, who had now drawn her own weapon, and taken cover behind a corner. She fired off a few blind shots, forcing the Rodian's into cover as well.

Selessa glanced out at the Rodian on the ground, still recovering from her shot to the face. Taking the opportunity, she fired off a shot, killing him. He slumped back to the floor, motionless. One of the remaining quickly ran to his aid, and Selessa shot this one as well. It was only her and one Rodian remaining in the alley. As she peeked out, a blaster bolt caught her shoulder and she fell to the ground. She heard a laugh, and the Rodian's footsteps racing toward her. As the Rodian turned the corner, he was greeted with a blaster bolt between his eyes. The Rodian fell to the ground, dead.

The Black Manka
Because of her deadly effieciency, Selessa quickly gained a reputation among the planet's underworld, and an invite from the Black Manka. The pay was acceptable, and she would be able to leave the slums behind. She was brought to the compound, which was situated in the planet's lower sections, and placed in a warm up fight with a low ranked Zabrak. Selessa quickly disabled the Zabrak, who pleaded to be spared. The fighter watching over the bout slid a blaster to Selessa and instructed her to kill him. She picked up the weapon without a second thought and planted a bolt into the Zabrak.

Afterward, she was congratulated and placed in the bracket for that evening's event.
