Vytto Korlioan

"My son is dead. What more can you take from me?"

- Vytto Korlioan

"Don" Vytto Korlioan was the founder and leader of the Korlioan Family, which replaced the Nathucar Family in the Keeta Syndicate, a powerful organized crime ring. The Korlioan family would go on to become the most successful of the Keeta families, and as well assassinating numerous "threats" and establishing a secure hold on planets beyond Republic and Rebel control.

Early life
Vytto Korlioan was born Vytto Astolfi in the town of Korlioan, Tatooine. The village was ruled by a Quarren known only as Don Ghilios, who had established connections to the Exchange and other crime bases. When Vytto was ten, his father insulted the Don by refusing to repair his personal droids. Mr. Astolfi, the best mechanic in the village, was murdered by Ghilios's bodyguards.

When word of his father's death reached Vytto, his older brother vowed revenge and ran off. The older brother, Polius, was found dead by a crashed landspeeder. Vytto's mother, Amelia, went to Don Ghilios's palace to beg for him to spare Vytto, saying he was all she had left. Ghilios refused, saying that he did not wish revenge to come and haunt him. Ghilios chuckled at her plea, also announcing his belief that "all humans are expendable. A human death on this planet won't phase anybody."

Amelia pulled a vibroblade on Ghilios, but he was too quick for her. The Quarren broke her wrist, and had Amelia executed. Vytto saw this, and ran away. Thugs fired at him but could not catch the boy. Vytto escaped off-world in a public transport bound for Nar Shaddaa. There, Vytto changed his name to Vytto Korlioan and learned the ways of organized crime.

Rise to Power
When he was nineteen, Vytto married Maria Su'nari, a human girl who had been seeing him for a while. The two had a child together. It was a boy named Santael. The three moved off of Nar Shaddaa back to the planet Tatooine, where Vytto had grown up. They settled down on a large acre estate near a calming oasis. From the estate, Vytto ran his cryme family.

His first target was the one who slaughtered his family: Don Ghilios. Approaching the now old man, Vytto jabbed a sword into the Quarren's chest. Blood poured from the deep wound. Ghilios did not get back up. Vytto now assumed the title of "Don" and started a crime family named after his hometown and last name.

Pulling a few strings, Vytto's friend Chenock, a Duros, managed to get the Korlioan family name put up as a crime organization. The Keeta Syndicate, a group of six individual crime families, accepted the Korlioan Family to replace Nathucar Family, which had been ended due to a lack of a male heir.

Family Recruitment
A number of people were recruited to join the crime family. At the age of 24, many believed Don Korlioan was not fit to run an operation as big as he was. They were proved wrong when the total number of people backing him increased to the hundreds.

More people were needed in the family, or it would never be able to compete with the other crime families. Santael, who was only five, did not understand his father's business. Refusing to elaborate to his son or wife about what he did, Korlioan continued to distance himself from his family.

The number of people in the Korlioan Family reached the 300s. His family had become bigger than any other one in the Keeta Syndicate. Many now considered him a threat.

Assassination Attempt
Vytto had aged 37 standard years. Nobody had dared attempt to kill him, but that all changed. Korlioan had been staying at a friendly Keeta family Don's corporate building. When he was leaving to return to Tatooine, Vytto was hit in the left leg by a sniper's bullet.

The Don fell over, and looked to his assailant. It was Naya, the "friendly" Don's wife. Vytto pulled out his pistol, and fired three shots towards the wife. Two hit her leg, and the other blast missed. Naya fell from the building and into the depths of Coruscant.

Don Korlioan's friend and lawyer who was also his bodyguard, Chenock, helped Vytto get into the shuttle. Vytto turned to Chenock and asked him, "Will it be taken care of?" The Duros nodded, and Vytto left back to Tatooine. Chenock came up behind the enemy Don, Don Runi. Before Runi could order his food at the restaurant Chenock had tailed him to, he was dead on the floor with a vibroblade through his chest.

Chenock sped out of the restaurant and left in a single-man vessel. That was the first time a rookie Don had ordered a hit on one considered more powerful.

Santael
Don Vytto Korlioan, at the age of 45, barely talked for more than a minute with his family. His son, Santael, was 26 and deemed ready to learn the trade.

Vytto taught Santael all of his secrets and business strengths, and how to avoid personal attacks and demeaning the family name. Santael was eager to do what his father did, and picked up on it well. The boy became his father's right-hand man, and handled things considered "important, but less so then my own business" by Vytto.

When Vytto turned 70, his son Santael was killed by a rival family's leader, Don Etonica. A memorial service was held after Korlioan's men found Santael's body. They cremated him and had his ashes scattered across the vast ocean of Leykor.

Mutalation
In 12 ABY, Vytto Korlioan was 72. While buying fruit from a merchant on Tatooine, thugs employed by Don Etonica came to Korlioan and shot him. He lost his right eye and was severly injured in his jaw bone, ribcage, and kneecaps.

Chenock rushed to help Korlioan, but the thugs murdered Chenock before he could do anything. The thugs left Vytto for dead. He was rushed to a nearby hospital; the doctors could not save Vytto's eye. His eye needed to be replaced with a cybernetic one. A surgery ensued that night.

When the eye was finished and implanted, Vytto Corlion only had one objective: Stop the Don Etonica from his mindless rampaging.

Vytto prepared himself for a one-man assault on Etonica's estate. By 13 ABY, he was ready.

Vengeance
In early 13 ABY, Vytto Korlioan disbanded the Korlioan Family, saying that it stood for immoral values. The next week, the ex-Don snuck into Don Etonica's mansion. While Etonica was in his jacuzzi with Twi'leki slaves, Vytto came in holding a heavy blaster and an electroknife. The Twi'leks ran out, frightened.

Two bodyguards came in and attacked Vytto. Korlioan told them, "My son is dead. What more can you take from me?" Etonica ordered the guards to bash his head in. As a result, Vytto chucked the electroknife into the jacuzzi, electrocuting the Don. Vytto then pulled out a detonator and told the unfortunate guards, "There are charges in the walls."

A detonation on the first floor where the spa was caused the second and third floors of the mansion to cave in, killing anything that hadn't been killed in the initial blast. Vytto Korlioan died at the age 73.

Personality
Vytto had a very strict personality. He was not one to laugh a lot; he was a serious man. His unfortunate life scarred Vytto and constructed an even thicker outer shell of emotional detachment. It was considered a miracle if Vytto even smiled during a sunny day. The only real time Korlioan bothered to smile genuinely was when his son Santael was born.

Traits
Don Korlioan had many skillful abilities. The most notable was perhaps his ability to resist poisons. An assassination attempt on Vytto ended up unsuccessful because of his natural immunities.
