Ahita Othar

Ahita Othar was head of the Tarisian Exchange.

Early life
Born the daughter of Nora Othar and Tandol Othar, both high ranking members of the Exchange, Ahita had decided her job before she was even three. At the age of two, the family moved from Tatooine to Taris, her father just being promoted to being head of the exchange there. Ahita's childhood was full of travelling between planets, but when they settled on Taris, this all calmed down.

Teenage years
At the age of twelve, Ahita started doing small jobs for the Exchange, dropping off messages, or poisoning someone's drink. By the age of sixteen, she was an expert asassin, proficient in over twelve forms of combat, unarmed or otherwise. She was used frequently by the Exchange, but she wasn't happy with her position. When her mother died when she was seventeen, and Ahita's father was left head of the Tarisian Exchange, Ahita saw her chance.

When she turned nineteen, she decided that she'd had enough of waiting for her father to die. Whereas she had loved her mother dearly, she disliked her father for unknown reasons. She used her skills to poison his drink, and then frame his under-study, who was executed. As the heir, and best person for the job, Ahita was made head of the Tarisian Exchange at the age of nineteen.

Head of the Exchange
Ahita managed to broker many deals between other crimelords, amassing healthy profits for both herself and the Exchange, which flourished on Taris, due to her. She began to corner the market of stimulants, and smuggling, whilst setting up a large bounty hunter's office. When Merkory Chal'wala arrived looking for work, she gave him the job, after checking him out. When, after a number of successful missions, he didn't return, she presumed him dead. She died in the bombing of Taris, during the Jedi Civil War.
