Sterlo Grandus

Sterlo Grandus was a Sorrusian thief and con-man during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

Early Life
Sterlo Grandus' early life is a mystery to just about everyone around him. All he's willing to divulge about his early years is that he had a tough early life. It is possible his parents either abandoned him or had somehow died, leaving Sterlo to grow up alone on the mean streets of Coruscant.

Galactic Civil War
By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Sterlo was scratching a meager living by being a thief. His Sorrusian heritage, giving him a compressible skeleton, allowed him to slip through even the narrowest of cracks to commit acts of theft. He rarely stayed in one place for long, to avoid being caught. He trusted no one, until a fateful encounter with a young girl in a back alley.

The Tieres Affair
Sterlo followed the young girl into the back alley with every intent of picking her pocket when she was attacked by a group of thugs. Sterlo's quick thinking foiled their attempt, and he still managed to lift credits from the teenage girl. What he didn't expect was for her to give chase through the crowded thoroughfare. His first time ever being caught by a mark was that day, and the two quickly formed an uneasy friendship, but the first one either of them had in a long time.

The newfound friendship with Naelah Tieres was cut short in a backalley bar by a Mandalorian bounty hunter when he left the table for only a few minutes. Attempting to follow Naelah and the hunter through Coruscant's underlevels proved a difficult task, but his worries became even more profound after a chance run-in with Naelah's sister Anita, a local university student. He learned why the hunter had taken her, and that he would likely be heading to Bilbringi. He snuck aboard the next transport offworld to get to the shipyard planet.

He found the hunter by chance in the spaceport and followed him through the capitol, until he was blindly led to an industrialized area by the skilled Mandalorian. He attacked in blind rage and was soundly beaten by the hunter, who promptly ended the fight with a drawn blaster and, surprisingly, asked the Sorrusian for his help in rescuing Naelah for her father. He introduced himself as Phiht Piroc and led him back to his ship, the Hell's Call. The two hatched a plan to rescue Naelah from the Inquisitor Lunais and get her to the Rebellion.

It is unknown if Piroc and Sterlo managed to rescue Naelah and get her to the Rebel Alliance successfully.

Personality and Traits
Due to his harsh past, Sterlo isn't able to trust easily. Naelah was the first person in a long time he has truly trusted, a breakthrough for him, and that trust leads him to do things he normally wouldn't do for another. Witty and sarcastic by nature, he's more of a comedic foil to the austere Piroc he allied himself with. To calm himself under stress, he would act stupid to be funny, much to the irritation of the Mandalorian. Despite being of a joking sort, he is often a careful thinker and can anticipate the actions of others before they happen.

Weapons
Though he prefers to be as stealthy as possible, Sterlo is also a capable street fighter. He's a good brawler and he's proficient with bladed weapons, mainly knives. After he allied himself with Piroc, Sterlo was given a set of light armor and a Bryar pistol, to his dismay. He isn't a fan of blaster weapons and probably won't ever be, but he knows that certain weapons can help him in the dire situation to come.
