Semyaza Talgal

Early life (110 ABY – 126 ABY)
Little is known about Semyaza’s early life. He was born on Concord Dawn, most likely circa 110 ABY, and grew up with a twin brother - of who even less is known. There are unconfirmed reports that this twin is actually a clone of Semyaza. What is known is both were brought up in the Tal’gala Clan and taught ways of a Mandalorian Warrior. Semyaza was the most dedicated and went on to join the Mandalorian Protectors.

Sith-Imperial War (127 ABY – 130 ABY)
In 127 ABY the Brothers left Concord Dawn to fight in the Sith-Imperial War. Both joined The Imperials as Stormtroopers.

When the war ended in 130 ABY Semyaza felt continuing to fight as a Stormtrooper was not honorable, in the Mandalorain tradition. But leaving the corps wasn’t that easy, so when the opportunity came he killed his commanding officer and went AWOL.

Mercenary
Semyaza based himself in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, to work as a Mercenary. Work was slow to start with but picked up over time. One of his first jobs was working as a Commando for the Weldorian Spacecraft Corporation. During his last mission for The WSC his Rocket Pack malfunctioned, sending him flying out of control. He was also accepted into Mandalorian Clans; firstly The Dxun Clan then The Socarras Clan. It wasn’t long before Semyaza found himself traveling the galaxy working for anyone from Hutt Gangsters to Cloned Sith Lords.

A good place to find work was Ord Mantell. It was here, while working with a fellow Mandalorian, he had an encounter with a Jedi Master that nearly cost him his life. After this he tended to favor working alone.

After chasing a bounty in Ord Mantell Semyaza was returning to Mos Eisley when he was mistaken for a member of the Fett Clan (by members of the Thu'zad Clan) and challenged to a duel. He was out gunned and left for dead on the streets of Mos Eisley.

Amnesia
A stranger found the mortally wounded Semyaza and dragged him to the medical facility were he was left in a Bacta Tank.

Several days later he awoke with no memory of whom or where he was. His helmet, Jet Pack and weapons were gone. He was left only with the remainder of his armour he was wearing, splashed with blood.

After leaving the medical facility he found a cloak and a mask to cover his now scared features. Being weaponless he had to keep a low profile until he managed to scrounge some weapons from a corpse left for the Womp Rats.

Return to the Imperial Army
After some time he was picked up by Stormtroopers, from the local garrison, on suspicion of being a smuggler. During his interrogation he insisted he had no memory and mind probes proved this to be true. The Garrisons General checked the old Imperial records and found Semyaza was a Stormtrooper, reported as missing in action – presumed dead. With no memory otherwise Semyaza was happy to join the Garrison and once again wore the armor of a Stormtrooper. Unbeknown to Semyaza he would be working alongside his twin brother.

Life at the Mos Eisley Garrison was a busy one. He often found himself dealing with protesting locals, arresting Smugglers or fighting Rebel factions.

An encounter with one of these factions, in the Dune Sea, once again left Semyaza mortally wounded. This time when he awoke he had regained his memory and once again absconded to return to his residence. Luckily for him his fellow Stormtroopers thought he was dead so he was able to pick up his life as a Mercenary, as long as he kept his helmet on.

Return to the Mercenary Life
It wasn’t easy to pick up were he had left off. The Socarras Clan had expelled him and the others had been whittled down to only a few members. Probably by the Mandalorian in fighting or, as Semyaza suspected, because of the cursed Jedi.

Semyaza managed to get work here and there. One customer was a Force Sensitive who called himself Qui-Jun. Initially Semyaza suspected Qui-Jun and his group to be Jedi, but these individual called themselves The Potentium Knights. Neither Jedi or Sith, light or dark. Semyaza had his suspicions, but a job was a job.

Rebuiling Clan - Tal'galar
Semyaza’s next turning point came when he was hired by a stranger calling himself Darth Ramer. When the job was done he told Semyaza he would soon have a lot of work for him. Because of this Darth Ramer suggested Semyaza start building a new Clan. Although Semyaza suspected The Sith Lord was only interested in his own personal goals he agreed. Soon after Semyaza declared himself Alor (Leader) of the Tal’galar Clan and quickly set about rebuilding it. The newly rebuild Tal’galar Clan was based in Mos Eisley.

Personality and Traits
Semyaza is foremost a Mandalorian and tries to live by the Mandalorian Code. He has little to no trust of the Jedi and has had several confrontations with them. He will work for them, for a price, but has been known to except a lower price to work against them.

Although over the years he has been part of many Clans and factions he still prefers to work alone.

Along with his Mandalorian Armor and Jet Pack he wears a sword on his back. This sword appears to resemble a Jedi Katana but its unknown where it was obtained from.
