Viktor Gestas

"Sir? Sir! This is a private museum, you can't come in here without paying the entrance fee for your visit first." "I can, actually, because it's mine now. I bought this whole place ten minutes ago. First new rule: the museum's free and open to anyone who wants to see it. Second new rule: you're fired."

- The manager of the Nashal museum and Viktor Gestas

Viktor Gestas was a male human who hailed from the planet Talus, located in the Corellia system. Born to wealthy parents in 90 BBY, young Viktor enjoyed a peaceful and privileged childhood, doted on by his family's many servant droids. When he was nineteen, tragedy struck, claiming the lives of his parents in a sudden accident. Small consolation came in the form of the considerable inheritance that was left to him upon their deaths, transforming Viktor into one of the wealthiest individuals on Talus almost overnight.

An abundance of credits led Viktor into a life of pleasure and ease, whiling away his days with fast speeders, beautiful women, and expensive liquor. He developed a taste for fine art and other costly collectibles that he filled his family estate with, and acquired a reputation for possessing a natural charm that people seemed to gravitate to.

In 22 BBY, Viktor learned of a Hutt-run auction that would be taking place on Nar Kreeta. To that end, he purchased a starship and enlisted the aid of a professional pilot to transport him through the dangers of Hutt Space. He also contacted Silver Shield Solutions, hoping to acquire the services of a private security contractor to protect him. During a meeting a cafe on Tari, from Viktor hired the Mandalorian bodyguard Ezgi Deshra, and the two soon set out for the Nar Kreetan auction in each other's company.
