Daniel Haldo

"Better to kill then to speak words." - Daniels favorite saying '

Daniel Haldo' was one of the most skilled bounty hunters in the galaxy. Infamous for his ability with stealth, people thought of him as more of an assassin then a hunter. During his time on the counsel of Zur-Krey, he was cold heartened.

He inherited the position on the counsel from his parents, after their deaths. People thought that he was unfit to be on the counsel of Zur-Krey. Anyone that would say that, or doubt him, would personally be killed by him. He would also kill innocent people for the bounty he wanted to collect on. He was also the husband of Janice Kotar. And the father of Lara Kotar

Early life
Daniel started out like any other bounty hunter with a family.

He was an only child of his parents, Danma and Fema Haldo. He was born as what you would call in Zur-Kreynian terms, a "Full blood". Both his parents were pure blood Zur-Kreynians. He was raised in one of the richest city's on Zur-Krey, Zure. His parents treated him well as there only child. He had wealthy parents that gave him anything he wanted, except he could not find love.

At the beginning of his life as a teenager, Daniel met Janice Kotar one day in the market of Zure when he was with his friends. Later in his conversation with Kotar, he came upon the knowledge that Janice, was no less then a Jedi padawan. He also found out that her master was away for a while on diplomatic business. And that Janice was spending so time in her favorite city of Zur-Krey.

Daniel could not hide the fact that he was falling in love with Janice. Trying to win her over, he invited her to his house, along with his friends. Unsure of if to go, Kotar hesitated. After an act of persuasion, Daniel was able to convince her to go. When they reached Daniel's home, Kotar was speechless at the size of the house.

She questioned him of who his parents were. Naturally, he took pride in telling of who his parents were. She nodded, saying she knew they were one of the top five wealthiest family's on the planet. Daniel was not even acknowledged of that.

He of course asked her where she obtained that information. She said that she had read holocrons on it since she was part of one of those wealthy family's. He had heard of the Kotar family; the wealthiest and the family with the most force sensitives of the whole planet. In one way, he envied her.

He wished he could have that power, but he stayed silent since his love for her overcame that thought. A couple of hours pasted, then Daniel's house was attacked. Daniel's friends hid, since all of the security forces for the house were all off for the day.

Daniel ran to his room, grabbing his armor and blaster, ready to defend his home. Kotar had helped him defeat the intruders. With her jedi abilities with a lightsaber, and his power with a blaster, they made a good team. The intruders were dead in less then an hour.

After the body’s were disposed and Daniel's friends settled down, Kotar left. Daniel now heartbroken she left, had only the memory of her to hold on to till they would meet again. She later met him on Coruscant and fell in love with him six years later, when he was twenty.

Career
Daniel spent lot's of his time as a bounty hunter. He also tried many times to get into Janice Kotars group of assassins. His wife never allowed him to join in his life, even after Janice was married to Tishec Zako.

Also he spent his other time in the counsel chambers going over the meetings in his head over and over. He would think about how he could make his planet "better" without the other counsel members. So he would give reports to the sith on what was going on in the counsel, and how they were progressing.

Death
"You remember me after all this time, I know it. You were supposed to be mine forever J." Daniel

"Not anymore Daniel. I'm out of your grasp. Your a killer." Janice

"Just look at him. He's Destroyer! You resented him for ages, now you love him? Tell me there's nothing wrong with that."

-Daniel speaking to Janice

Daniel had been following Kotar ever since she left Dantooine with that alien, Tishec Zako. He was planning to kill Tishec, out of jealousy. Daniel had been mad about Kotar falling in love with Zako, and her marrying him. Haldo had finally been able to come back to life after being reborn to his age on the old world of Zur-Krey.

On Coruscant, Janice was planning to kill some wanted criminals who tried turning her into the Galactic Empire to settle their own arrest. She was in one of the cantinas, looking for the criminals. When he saw her, he was shocked. He saw that she was pregnant.

His anger was at it's highest now with Zako. Luckily, he had spoken with the criminals before Kotar had come, so they would help him in return for their freedom. After Kotar and Zako fell into the trap that was set for them in the back, he followed them into the room with his hood on. Kotar asked who he was, he then took his hood off. She was shocked when she saw him.

Tishec knew who he was, so he said for Kotar to tell the twins that he love them, then he left. Daniels anger heightened even more, he pulled out a red lightsaber, but instead of attacking Zako, he attacked Kotar. He killed her before Tishec came back. Tishec managed to kill him in his own anger, and saved his children. Kotar came back to life a month later after Daniels death.

Post-mortem
After Daniels death, Kotar came to the knowledge that the spirit of Revan was controlling Daniel, trying to kill her. Kotar told Tishec of this, he said it made sense. She also told Lara what happened to her father. She accepted it, and she lived by his example of not letting anger control you into killing the one you love. After a couple of years after Daniels death, he returned again and decided to spend his life focusing on protecting the people of Zur-Krey. For years, the teachings of Kotar and Lara showed the story of Daniel Haldo; to not kill out of anger. It kept many younglings on the path of the light-side.

Personality and traits
Daniel was a stubborn and strong willed man.

He had a reputation to be cruel when he did his work on urban planets.

The most when he was hunting for a big kill.

He may have been wealthy, but he didn't do his hunting for the credits, but for the kill, since his was one of those blood thirsty Bounty Hunters.

Behind the scenes
I, Gigilixch, came up with this character to give Lara Kotar a father that had a nasty background.
