Vlyn

Ylyn, commonly known as either Vlin, Vin, or Villain in an insulting manner, was a male Tognath mercenary who was active during the final years of the Galactic Republic. Born on the Outer Rim world of Ordonia, he was born into the industrial, but poor and backwater middle sector of the world and found himself hostile towards the Republic at a very young age. He would join the Ordonian Sovereignty Committee during the Separatist Crisis and later the Ordonian Nationalists during the Clone Wars where he fought against the Republic for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He would manage to survive the most of the war, but was killed during the Siege of Aikita in 19 BBY during the Third Battle of Ordonia.

Childhood
Vlyn was born in Brento, the capital city of Ordonia, in 51 BBY. His family hoped to start a better life in the capital, but moved to Aikita instead after new tax laws by the Ordonian government and Galactic Senate made it difficult for his father to run his business and soon went under and moved to Aikita, the largest and industrial capital of the planet, instead. His childhood became difficult from their on out and he became angry and hostile towards any Ordonian supporting the Republic.

Separatist Crisis
"Glory to Ordonia! Join the Sovereignty Committee and help Ordonia regain her independence from the greedy tyrants of the senate."

- Vlyn promoting the Separatist cause. Once the Separatist Crisis began in 32 BBY, Vlyn was still a teenager and he joined the Ordonian Sovereignty Committee, a political organization seeking the planet's secession from the Republic. Once the Confederacy of Independent Systems was formed, he advocated for joining the new Separatist Alliance, but got into legal trouble promoting the Separatist cause. This lead to fights with the authorities and for him to orchestrate riots that resulting in countless injuries, arrests, and even multiple deaths. He joined the extremist sect of the committee, the Ordonian Nationalists, and carried out terrorist attacks on Brento.

His most infamous attack was the Brento Senate Bombing where he managed to detonate a hidden bomb that killed over 120 people and wounded over 320 others. Among the casualties were over three dozen senators, half of them dead, during the yearly Republic Day celebration in 23 BBY. He became a wanted criminal, but remained in hiding and managed to avoid the authorities due to allies in the nationalists, who were becoming more and more popular.

Military Coup
"The era of Republic tyranny is now over dear citizens of Ordonia. Our great leader, Markeys Kennseg, has removed the corrupt tyrants from power and will restore our independence within the hours."

- Vlyn announcing the end of Republic rule on Ordonia's holonets. In the last month of the Separatist Crisis in early 22 BBY, Vlyn and the Nationalists began to gather their forces, including sympathizers within the Ordonian Armed Forces. Half of the Ordonian Army had alinged themselves with the Nationalists along with half of the Navy and Starfighter Corps. The coup was carried out two weeks after the meeting and was successful with the pro-Republic government being overthrown and a new regime under Markeys Kennseg who declared himself president and announced the planet's official secession from the Republic and the planet was to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Vlyn was an officer of the Nationalist Militia and once the coup was under way and the capital taken, he announced the end of Republic rule via holonets.

Defending Ordonia
"The Republic invaders will leave this world in caskets for violating our sovereignty."

- Vlyn stating his intent on defending Ordonia. Following the beginning of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Ordonia was taken over by the Nationalists in a military coup and broke away from the Republic. The coup had occured right when the Republic had just entered a state of war with the Confederacy and Ordonia's secession was declared a threat to security by Republic High Command. In response, a task force was formed to recapture the planet and regroup with the Ordonian Loyalists, members of the Ordonian government and military still loyal to the Republic. This lead to the First Battle of Ordonia wherwe Vlyn was tasked with commanding the 13th Partisan Brigade to wage guerilla war on the Republic forces.
