Rohn

"Remember this day that you ALMOST caught me."

 was a Devaronian/Devish whose homeworld is unknown. Originally befriending several Jedi Padawans around the time of the Clone Wars, he succeeded in getting them out of harm's way as Order 66 took effect. Deciding to capitalize on the confusion caused, he became a pirate. Changing his name to Tarkart, he helped the Rebellion as he saw fit. While never becoming a household name, he started the Pirate's Guild and became one of the most successful pirates that ever lived.

Early life
"Where was I born, you ask? The stars, Mister Frok, the stars are my parents. Freedom is my bride and wealth is our child."

Rohn's earliest memories, according to his Pirate's Manual, are of stealing a Bantha steak off the plate of a undercover Jedi. While this may be erroneous, he somehow established connections at the Jedi Temple by age twelve. Befriending a group of Jedi Padawans around his age, he was considered a bad influence on them and was forbidden from seeing them ever again. They went separate ways during the Clone Wars, but were all called back to Coruscant in the weeks prior to Order 66. As soon as Rohn heard of the assault on the Temple, he rushed there. His ingenuity and street-smarts paid off, as he was able to get all but one of his friends out of harm's way. Commandeering a Senator's shuttle, they set off for Tatooine, a place where he was fairly sure they would be safe.

Early Career (19-1 BBY)
Upon reaching their destination, Rohn decided upon a plan--to become pirates. No one would expect pirates to be Jedi, he reasoned. At that moment Captain Tarkart was born. Selling the shuttle to a merchant for a hefty profit, he organized a deal between himself and an unknown ship designer (most likely Raith Sienar, due to the ship's likeness to his designs), commissioning a custom, one-of-a-kind ship made perfectly for pirating. Dubbing it the Raven, he began to prey on Imperial ships left and right. Over time, he formed a fleet. Making a play on his 'demonic' appearance as a Devaronian, the fleet was called Devil's Angels. He then set up a hideout on a moon in the Arkanis Sector and struck up a deal with Jabba the Hutt regarding 'mutual benefit'.

Later Career
As the Rebellion broke out, he again utilized the confusion to his benefit. 'Captain Tarkart' gathered many other pirate captains on an unnamed planet and together they formed the first Pirate's Guild following Jabba the Hutt's death. Spreading throughout the galaxy, they became an immensely powerful, though not well-known, organization. Tarkart's fleet, the Devil's Angels, traveled across the galaxy. Though he never struck at larger settlements, the Pirate Lord published a Pirate's Manual, which quickly became one of the most-sold manuscripts on the black market. Tarkart fought, with his Devil's Angels against the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion, and against the Killik during the In his old age Tarkart became gradually more obsessed with living forever...

Death
"Tarkart were the best o' the Pirate Lords. Smart man. He weren't famous, but 'e should'a been... I flew wi' 'im, boy, a long time ago. 'Fore you was born. Genius. He left the galaxy entirely. Bright flash o' purple as the Raven went into hyperspace. Not a soul knows where 'e'd gone."

... Which led to his eventual disappearance. Taking the Raven and setting out with his original crew, minus his First Mate, he left the galaxy in 48 ABY. In a farewell speech to his men, he told them most of his story and turned over his title to Vrena, a Twi'lek former slave whose cunning use of strategy had impressed 'Tarkart'. He did not explain his reason for leaving.

Personality and traits
"Tarkart was the best captain you could ask for, and a good friend. As Rohn he were a bright lad, and a genius, but he only ever showed that side to me and the rest o' the original crew. Tarkart was cunning and acted daft in the head, you understand, but that were just an act. Best non-Jedi fighter and strategist I ever seen."
