Filose Naj

Filose Naj was a powerful Falleen spy and mercenary during the late stages of The Great Sovereign Crusades. He had many jobs during this time period, many of which conflicted eachother greatly and got himself on the wanted list by nearly every faction.

He was the man who scouted out the hidden Jedi base on Hoth and provided that information to the Sith, in order to save Dorin. Later on, he informed the Jedi of the weakest point in the Sith's forces on each of their worlds. He knew that he was likely to be killed at some point for his side-switching, though all he really cared about were the credits.

Eventually, Filose gave up his spy-work and attempted to work towards a life of good doing. He went to Dorin and assisted in the policing there, joining the Vaskar. He would later be appointed the leader of the group and be the greatest that it had ever seen, leading the group to fame as well as galactic respect.

Filose had many positions during his life, including Minister of Defense for the Republic, leader of the Vaskar, and head of defense for the Jedi. He would later form his own group in the outer-rim called The Fist of Naj, which would become a lesser version of the Vaskar.

Filose would die... coming soon

A Tragic Childhood
Filose Naj was born on the Falleen home world with the same name. His two parents were not noble of any sort, so he spent his entire life without many priviliges. He lived in an area with lots of crime, as unnoble folk were always thinking of ways to make the noblemen angry. But the one day it all turned ugly. A group of Falleen raiders came to his home while Filose was out and killed his parents, disposing of them in a nearby river.

When Filose came home later that day, he found his entire house trashed, many things stolen and nobody anywhere in site. Those criminals had taken everything he cared about and stolen everything he had to live by. He had to take his revenge, and bite back just the way he had been bitten. He went into the secret storage room behind his bed and grabbed his father's most prized possesion, the Echani vibroblade hanging from his wall, which his father had taken from a dead Echani during the time of the Great War.

Striking Back
Filose went outside, vibroblade in hand and walked into the forest, where he heard the raiders made their base camp. After a time of walking aimlessly, he came to a river, stockpiled with dead bodies floating at the top. He shook his head and stepped back, running and jumping across the river, right into the face of the perimeter guard. The guard grabbed Filose by the throat and held him up to eye level, glaring at him and holding up a blaster. Filose brought his vibroblade to waist level and shoved it into the stomach of the guard, then cutting it across, leaving a gaping wound on the side of his body, as he fell to the ground lifeless. Searching the body, he took the blaster and put it in his coat, then saw the very technical belt and figuring it could be very useful, took it off and put it on himself.

Continuing on with his new weaponry, he came across a tent and realized he must be at the encampment. He took out his vibroblade and cut a hole in the tent. Hoping nobody was inside, he walked through the hole and began searching the tent. He found a box, filled with various things. Grenades, computer spikes, security tunnelers, parts, the like. He took them all and shoved them into his pockets, taking out one large red grenade and looking out the door of the tent. It looked like all the raiders were sitting around a fire, give or take a few. He pressed a button to activate the grenade, then rolled it out to the fire. A large explosion of fire erupted, engulfing all the raiders inside the flames, most of them knocked unconcious. He walked back out to the campfire, scouring the bodies once again for anything he could find that would prove useful. He found a rather large sword on one of the bodies, and one powerful looking blaster rifle on another. He put them both into his armor and looked around. Nobody left, he had avenged the deaths of his parents, and it made him proud. Not only that, it was a bit fun tearing them all to pieces. He walked past the camp and found a ship, sitting near the river in a clearing. The ramp was open, so he walked in.

Leaving Falleen
It was much less than luxurious, but he was much used to it by now, living in the small house he did. There looked to be a small washroom over to the left, a cargo hold to the right and a cokpit up front. Not much, but everything worked. There were two benchs to either side of the entrance, surrounded by lockers and cannisters. He stored all of the stuff he took off the bodies in the lockers, then went to the cockpit, checking the navigation chart. He didnt know many planets, so he picked the one he did know, Tatooine, and set a course on the autopilot. The ship took off as he sat on the bench and fell asleep.

Many hours later, a beeping sound was heard in the back of Filose's head and he awoke, the ship had arrived on Tatooine. He got up and grabbed his new gear, putting it back in his armor. He walked out and was suprised to see a man standing there, waiting for him to get out. His skin was dark, natural or from the suns constantly beating down. He was wearing normal torn rags as clothes, dirty brown and had his hands crossed across his chest. He said his name was Achmed El-Gibar, and he was waiting for this ship to arrive for a while now, but it was not Filose that was supposed to come. Achmed asked how Filose came across this ship, so he told him his story, about how he avenged his parent's, then stole the ship from the raiders. Achmed nodded his head and placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, telling him that he had plenty of potential to be just like he was and he would teach him everything he knew. Naturally, Filose was confused, he didn't know what Achmed was, but figured it would only be good to learn new things.

Training as a Spy
Achmed took him pack to his penthouse. It was very large, filled with jewels, treasure, artifacts, anything beautiful you could think of... Strange that he would dress like such a bum when he had all these good things. That was when Achmed told Filose he was a spy and a thief, and that his dress was necesarry to make it good in that living. Over the years, Achmed taught Filose everything about the business, hacking, slicing, breaking in, breaking out, repairing, stealing, everything you would need to think of. He taught him how to use all the things he had stolen from the bodies, the swords, vibroblades, blasters, most importantly, the belt. He learned it could grant him stealth ability, so he could not be seen.

His training went on for years, from the time he was 20 Falleen years, till when he was 50. It was then that he could not be taught much anymore, and Achmed was growing on in years. He would die later that year, but before he did, told Filose to carry on his legacy as a spy, and that he could use this penthouse whenever he wanted. He told him the password to get in, and gave him a violet cloak, one that he wore for good luck, as a charm. Achmed died, and Filose was sent on his way.

Getting his Name Out
"Good evening, you filthy worm." "Hi chuba da naga?" "You will make a public announcement for me, Vogga, because I know only you have the power to do so on the moon. You will tell the galaxy that Filose Naj is calling to all takers. Anyone who wants to hire me can, and I will work my best for them."

- Filose Naj and Vogga the Hutt

Filose left Tatooine for the moment, heading to Nar Shaddaa, to get out his name so that he would get work easier. The lead Hutt knew him and feared him, which was good and bad, but soon everyone would know that Filose Naj, the top Spy in the galaxy, was open for work. He landed in the refugee sector of Nar Shaddaa, the area in which most of the crime dealings with the exchange and with the Hutts are done in. People on this planet had known him, apparently he was wanted for the death of Achmed El-Gibbar, his teacher, though that was a load. Filose made his way through the refugee sector over to the docks where the local Hutt, Vogga, had all of his ships.

Filose walked into the Hutt's palace, though was told that he would have to get an appointment to meet with the Hutt. Filose pulled out a blaster and held it to the receptionist's head, saying that he did have an appointment. Understandably, he was now admitted entrance into the mansion, though the first two guards knew him to be a wanted man and drew their vibroblades on him. Filose retaliated by drawing both his vibroblades and told them to take him to Vogga. When they turned around, Filose skewered them both, if only to make Vogga angry, and continued on on his own.

Wandering around the palace for a little while, Filose realized that he was going to be in trouble. A security announcement came up in Huttese and from what he understood, they were all looking for him now. He activated his stealth field and continued onward, searching until he came to a room which had nearly 50 guards in it.

Filose figured that the door behind them they were guarding was the door to Vogga's chamber. Knowing it would be nearly impossible to get through all those guards, Filose crept by them and into a seperate room. Luckily, this was the room next to Vogga's treasury. He locked the door tight behind him and sealed by melting it shut with a blaster, then set a charge at the side of the room. The wall blew to smitherines, letting Filose loose in Vogga's horde. He took everything he could, deactivated the stealth shield and then went into Vogga's chambers.

The slimey Hutt was clearly shocked that Filose had gotten into his chambers, and even more chagrin at the fact that all his guards were locked out. The two had a discussion in which Vogga was at blaster-point the whole time and in the end, he agreed to let word out that Filose Naj, one of the greatest spies in the galaxy was now looking for work.

No Longer the Spy
"Sorry, Vogga, I can't do this thing anymore. Seeing the people suffer, I realized that I need to start helping people, not hurting them. Good doing business with you."

- The final words of the spy Filose Naj

Filose remained on Nar Shaddaa in a flop house near to Vogga's palace. He was waiting in this housing unit in hopes that somebody would come to give him a job. They were, after all, in the beginning stages of a war between the Jedi and the Sith. He would have figured that either side, or even the Republic would be in need of the most skilled spy in the galaxy.

However, nobody ever came to get him. He had to turn to Vogga to get a job and he got the intention that Vogga just wanted him to be killed. The job was to eliminate the Exchange from the entire refugee sector on Nar Shaddaa to give Vogga complete control of the area and the crime.

Normally, Filose would not accept such a task as it seemed like suicide, though he had nothing else to do as the suitors were not coming to get him. Disappointed, he would continue on to where the refugees lived, which was also where the presence of the Exchange was most powerful in the area. He activated his stealth field generator and began running through the sector, avoiding the Gammorrean guards that lined the halls and making his way to the exchange boss. He stood right in front of the man, a Trandoshan who was also a slave trader. The overseer offered Filose a counter deal, to eliminate Vogga and gain more work with the Exchange. When he refused, Filose was given an ultimatum, get rid of the refugee problem permenantly or be hunted down by the Exchange.

Filose figured killing a few refugees wouldn't be a problem, so he went down to the lower levels where they all lived. The massive number of people startled him, and it wasn't just men, but women and children too. There were families who feared for their lives, huddled together in cold and agony, no money or happiness in any of them. It was then that he realized that no greater good could be served but to eliminate the Exchange from this area and let the refugees live life a little better.

He reactivated his stealth belt and made his way back up to the Trandoshan overseer and stood right behind him. He told him that the deal was off, before stabbing him through the back of the head. The guards began going insane, firing blaster bolts in any direction that wasn't friendly. Filose ran away, dropping grenades behind him as he went and leaving a trail of destruction behind him. Once he had left the area, he went back in to make sure there was no more sign of the Exchange. He eliminated the few remaining guards with his blade, then returned to Vogga.

Once back at the palace, he informed Vogga of his new outlook on life and told him that he could no longer continue his work. He told Vogga to use his credit reward to give the refugees somewhere remotely liveable on the moon. With his career in spying and mercenary work over, Filose left for Dantooine, hoping to live in peace and help others for a while.

The Vaskar
The Vaskar was a secret policing agency on the planet of Dorin, which cut the crime down to nearly nill on the planet thanks to their efforts. However, they wanted some off-worlder presence to come and settle the on world troubles, feeling that the Kel'Dor could not adequately defend their own planet due to their attachment with it.

Recruited
Filose was enjoying his time on Dantooine, helping the settlers there recover their once great society. He made repairs to Khoonda and gave funding to any local farming locations that needed help. He eliminated the Kinrath problem from the fields, helped clear out the old Jedi academy and attempted to restore it so people could view it safely. He even went through the old crystal mines to make sure that it was safe to go in there.

He was happy for what seemed like the first time in his life. Then, a visitor by the name of Dorn Atun came to Dantooine, searching for recruits into the Vaskar, a group for which he was the current leader. Dorn was asking around when the administrator from Khoonda pointed him towards Filose, who grudgingly accepted the job, feeling he had helped the people on Dantooine enough. He felt as though helping another community would only make him feel better.

Filose travelled around with Dorn for a while, searching for more people to join the group. They arrived on Concord Dawn and recruited two humans, Aras Doplin and Dak Grenlar. With the new team assembled, they went back to Dorin to help out the situation there.

Loss of a Leader
"He had such potential, such good will inside his heart. What could have gone wrong?" "He was always a warrior, Skyu, maybe putting him in the Vaskar only strengthened that trait." "But killing a Jedi Master?" "Ridicule can do that to a person."

- Skyu Lon, Filose Naj, Err Lupe and Dak Grenlar

While Dorn had been away from Dorin for a while, the crime rate had risen back up. The group immediately got back into action, tracking down and eliminating criminals, be them killers, thieves or vandals. They set up a new HQ to get away from the Baran Do tower and fitted it with a prison and communications tower. The crime quickly fell and this got the attention of people around the galaxy. Shortly, Dorn was taken by the Jedi to become a Jedi Knight thanks to his efforts on Dorin. Skyu Lon, leader of the Baran Do, briefly took up the role of leader of the Vaskar to cope with the loss of Dorn.

A few months later, word reached the Vaskar that Dorn had fallen from the Jedi, killing a few padawans as well as his own master. This left Skyu shaken and he no longer liked the idea of a Kel'Dor leading the Vaskar. He appointed Filose as head of the group.

Head of the Vaskar
"You are this planet's only hope, Filose. Turns out I was right in making you head of the Vaskar."

- Skyu Lon to Filose

Filose was ecstatic with this new appointment and looked forward to bringing the Vaskar to a new light across the galaxy. However, it seemed as though the Baran Do Sage had only appointed him the leader because he needed Filose to do a job for him, to save Dorin.

There was a war coming to the planet, Skyu had sensed it, which would end up killing everyone except the Vaskar and the Baran Do. There was a way to stop it, though it involved Filose selling out the Jedi to the Sith, in order to make the Sith avoid Dorin. Though he did not want to do it, he left for Hoth to scout out the hidden Jedi base. Once he had found it for sure, he gave the information to the Sith and left for Dorin with guilt and continued leading the group.

Even though his leadership was apparently a farce, Filose made quite a name for himself and for the Vaskar. He appointed Aras to be head of recruitment and expansion and named Dak his assistant leader. With their help, the group expanded to many planets and recruited many new members. During his leadership, bases were made on Nar Shaddaa, Manaan and Kashyyyk and many new recruits such as Yi Liin, Lassavouu, Brianna Clark, Hishli and Taalbarr were brought into the fold. Equipment was also now being delivered from Eriadu, making the group very formidable.

Leaving
"You have been with me the whole time on this project, Dak. Now I gotta go, so its all yours. Run with it."

- Filose to Dak

For the 29 years that Filose was the leader of the Vaskar, he made quite the name for himself and for the group. Funding was coming in from the Republic and more and more people were being recruited, more bases being constructed. The names of the leaders and top members were becoming galaxy reknowned as being heroes for solving skirmishes that even the Jedi could not.

This however presented a problem. The Jedi began to get angry with the Vaskar for taking their thunder. They were afraid that the group would soon usurp them as the protectors of the galaxy. To stop this, they sent a message to Filose, asking him to be their protector and their head of defense. He felt that this would be an even better way to help people and took their offer.

The Vaskar did not necessarily lose, as Filose left Dak, a very capable leader in charge of the group. They would continue on strong for many years under Dak's leadership before the Battle of Manaan. Filose was worried about his group, but stayed on with the Jedi to serve and protect the Republic and the galaxy.

Helping the Jedi
"When you are with me you will forget everything you know about the Jedi. I will teach you to fight, to defend yourself and others. Your code can fly out the window, with your beliefs. All you will need are your skills with a weapon."

- Filose Naj to the Jedi

Filose made his way to Coruscant and to the Jedi temple. He had a feeling that the entire appointment was a farce, but that would not stop him from doing his business. The Jedi had named him their head of defense, and the only way that he knew to defend himself was through violence. Whether the Jedi liked it or not, that is what he planned on teaching them how to do.

The first thing the Falleen had to do was meet with the Jedi council. He only knew one of them, the Kel'Dor Oro Tell, who had served with the Baran Do before. There were many more recognizable faces, such as the Nautolan Sen Helto and the humans Jar Todur, Xiantos Zosimus and Lirra Amad'Leq. There were many other filled seats, though Filose could not recognize any more of them.

They first asked him why he was there. A curious question in the least, considering they asked him to come, which was the reason he gave for coming. They then asked him what he planned to do and he told them bluntly that he was going to do what they couldn't. This aggravated the council very much as Filose had called them out on not having the ability to act when they were needed. The council discussed and still reluctantly approved the appointment of Filose as head of defense. The council itself did not participate in Filose's training sessions with the Jedi. Other masters, Knights, padawans and even hopefuls were more than eager to learn from him. They had heard of his exploits with the Vaskar and on Nar Shaddaa and wanted to learn how to defend themselves and others when the need arose.

Filose was able to instruct the Jedi more on how to use a lightsaber, demonstrating with his own vibroblades. He was able to teach the higher echelon of them how to use two blades at once very efficiently. He gave them all new equipment and during his spare time designed new robes which had better capabilities than normal Jedi robes. The council always neglected to use these, while many normal members did. These robes eventually became known as Najian Robes, named after Filose.

The training that Filose gave to the members of the Jedi would prove invaluable in a war soon to come against the Mandalorians and the Sith. Many members of the council would perish thanks to their inability to see their own faults, though the Jedi that remained with Filose would become great warriors and would survive, then later become council members themselves.

Fighting the Sith
"So you are the one who has caused us all the trouble? It is no matter any more, once I kill this last Master, the Jedi will be destroyed." "If you think the Council is the highest point of the Jedi, you are blinded. I know a Jedi Knight who is more capable than them, but they are too stuborn to see it. Trust me, all you have done for the Jedi today is a favor, and what I give you in return is your death." "We shall see, my large... green... friend."

- Darth Erebos and Filose Naj before their fight.

Filose had helped the Jedi greatly over the few years that he had been with them. He taught them all the skills he knew, making them fully capable spies if they ever chose to give up on their religion. The timing of Filose's lessons for the Jedi was impecable as a new war was about to bring havoc upon the Jedi.

The Sith, who had recently been defeated in a past war, were now growing in strength once again. Their newest leader, Darth Erebos, had built up a large following and was planning to assault the Jedi worlds all at once, hoping to decimate the order completely. Dantooine, Coruscant, Baltimn, Ossus and Ilum were all targets of the Sith. The Jedi would not have received word of this had it not been for the skill of Filose. As the defender of the Jedi, he would routinely go to planets reknowned to hold Sith in the past to see if there was anything new going on. While on Yavin IV, he overheard the new Dark Lord planning his attacks with his generals in a Massassi Temple. When he attempted to leave, he was ambushed by a group of Sith and was able to fight his way out with scars about his body.

Returning to Coruscant, he requested his first meeting with the Jedi council since he had arrived on the job. They had changed since then, Sen Helto, Oro Tell, Xiantos Zosimus and Lirra Amad'Leq had all gone and Jar Todur was but an old man. There were new members now, though they did not seem capable anymore. He told them of this new threat, of the planets that were going to be attacked and about the massive numbers of Sith that the Dark Lord had managed to obtain. The council did not believe him and did not send additional troops to the academies on those planets, only reinforcing Coruscant in case something did happen. Filose had to call in some favors with the Vaskar to get their help defending the rest of the planets, even though he did not know the current leader.

However, during the next training session, Filose directly defied the Jedi council and told his students what was happening. He split the class into five groups and sent four of them off to the four other academies that were going to be attacked. Leading the groups were the students he felt were the greatest he had trained, three masters in Damarus Xen'Gai, Malcolm Polaris and Xeno Halthorn as well as the Jedi Knight Victoria Hart. He had hoped that the training he had given them would be enough to fortify those places. He would fortify the Coruscant academy himself, having no faith in the Jedi council's ability to protect.

The attacks came within a few months, during which time Filose had instructed the leaders to continue training the students. He felt as though they were ready for this challenge, but wasn't sure if the rest of the Jedi would be or not. Unsuprisingly, the Dark Lord spearheaded the assault on the Jedi temple on Coruscant. Erebos made his way directly to the council chambers with a couple Sith Lords by his side to deal with the council who were holed up, saving themselves.

Filose lead the Jedi into the fray against the Sith, wielding both his vobroblades with many more lightsabers flashing on behind him as he ran. He slashed his way through the Sith, most of them poorly trained, until he had made a line of bodies to the front door. Turning around, he could see his Jedi students making their way easily through the Sith troops, dicing anything in their way with their blue or green lightsabers. Feeling no need to stay watch over that battle, Filose ran through the fighting to get to the Jedi council, not liking their odds against the Dark Lord. When he ran into the room, he saw bodies littered all around, including the two Sith Lords that had accompanied Erebos. There was one visibly alive member, Jar Todur, still sitting in his chair speaking with the Sith Lord. Filose assumed Jar was now too old to fight and wanted to bide his time.

After a small exchange of words, Filose engaged in a fight with the Dark Lord of the Sith. Erebos, wanting a fair fight to test Filose, neglected to use the force to his advantage. The two slashed at each other, parrying blows and blocking strikes until eventually, Filose's mastery of wielding two blades caught up to the Dark Lord. While blocking one of Erebos' attacks, he forced the red lightsaber out of the way and then sliced off the Dark Lord's head with his off hand.

Following this battle, Filose got word that the attacks had not succeeded on any of the other worlds thanks to the efforts of the Jedi Filose had trained and the Vaskar. More than this, Jar Todur had realized his mistake and allowed Filose's council on who should be placed on the Jedi council after this debacle. Ten members that Filose had trained, including the generals of each world; Damarus, Malcolm, Xeno and Victoria were all placed on the council.

Now feeling that the Jedi were finally in capable hands, Filose left the Jedi to tend to matters on his home world. Some Jedi left with him, feeling a sense of loyalty for him saving their lives, and they all travelled to Falleen to take care of business.

The Fist of Naj
"In the name of The Fist of Falleen, you are under arrest, my lord." "It's treason, then?" "Your oppression will never return. You have lost!" "No, no, no... YOU HAVE LOST!"

- Filose Naj and Emporer Fisor during their final confrontation

Upon arriving on Falleen with the group of Jedi who had joined him, Filose quickly became disgusted with the state of affairs on the planet. The planet was apparently under the rule of a dictator who was also in cohuts with the Exchange and the Hutts. After discussing things with his Jedi friends, they agreed to stop the catastrophy. To first destroy the enemy, however, one had to learn about him. The dictator was a Falleen by the name of Fisor. He had been voted into power from a legitimate election but then quickly used his power to eliminate all competition. Getting an aliance with the Exchange strengthened his strangle hold on the planet and supplied him with mercenaries to control the going ons planet wide.

Filose found out about a secret underground organization called The Fist of Falleen. This was a group of Falleen who were immensely unhappy with the current government, or lack there of. Filose and the Jedi met with the leader of the group and joined up. Together, they began forming a plan to conquer the demon that was Fisor.

The plan was very complicated and involved disabling to power and communications to Fisor's tower, as well as setting up a perimiter defense to ensure that nobody got in. The trouble with this was that there were not that many people in the group at the moment to be able to pull off such a plan. Naturally, the leader of the group sent out word that Filose had joined the group to help them and almost instantly new members began pouring into the group. Within a few days they had enough people to attempt the plan.

It turned out that this underground organization actually had some underground passages. They had been constructing them ever since the formation of the group and the most important one led under Fisor's tower and right behind it, past the defenses. The entire group went through this passageway and came out the back of the tower. Some scaled the tower with cables to disable communications, others ran out the back to find the power and the majority ran around the front to deal with the guards. Rather than killing them, the guards were stunned and tied up to a post near to the entrance. About 20 of the group stayed behind and looked out for any mercenaries, while Filose and the leader led a group of about 10 into the tower to deal with Fisor.

Oddly enough, the tower was not heavily guarded at all. A few rogue mercenaries and receptionists was all that they faced. No cameras, no turrets. It was as if the dictator did not expect anyone to ever get in. As they were making their way up to the top of the tower, they heard a slight buzz and all the lights went out. It would have been better later, so they would be able to take an elevator, but no matter. The group found the stairwell and began the rather long walk up to the top.

Once there, it became painfully obvious why there were no guards throughout the building. The number of mercenaries there outnumbered their own by almost two to one. These numbers were thinned out when a red ball rolled into the center of the mercenary pack from a window and blew half of them to death. More reinforcements for The Fist came in from the window, likely the group who had disabled the communications. The group ran into the fray with the mercenaries as Filose and the leader ran past to get to Fisor. Fisor was able to quickly pick off the leader of The Fist quickly, striking him in the forehead with a blaster bolt. After a small exchange between Filose and Fisor, the rather short lived fight began. Fisor attempted to blast off Filose's head the same as he had the other's, but Filose was able to block the bolt with one of his vibroblades, then used the other to cut off Fisor's head. The deed was done and Falleen was now free.

During the next legitimate election on the planet, Filose was appointed as Prime Minister of the planet without even being registered as a candidate. It seemed as though people had been writing his name down on the ballots and voting for him. Filose graciously accepted the position and led the government for a few years. Meanwhile, The Fist of Falleen would be renamed The Fist of Naj, after Filose and his heroics.

Personality
Filose was, as many people can atest to, a very intimidating presence. His massive size, especially for a Falleen can scare people out of fights without him even speaking a word and drawing a weapon. This works well for him, as later on in his life he had no more need to fight people.

He was a kind person, though his exterior didn't show it. He valued life and respect and treated others with those two qualities. He would only kill someone if they had first killed someone, feeling that death was only punishable by death. He helped people improve their lives through the Vaskar, Jedi and later the Republic and because of this he became on of the most influential Falleens ever. The things he valued most turned out to be what made him such a respectable figure in the galaxy.

Skills
Filose was very adept at any workings that were involved in infiltrating, fighting or spying. He was a master of stealth, hacking, repairing machines, as well as a brilliant combatant. He had a mastery while wielding two vibroblades at once and was also very keen with blasters and blaster rifles. He had many pieces of equipment which could help him in his occupation, powerful weapons and unique devices which made him the best in the business.

As shown later on in his life, Filose had a knack for leadership. He was argueably the greatest leader in the history of the Vaskar, the only exception being Grrwooken. His leadership qualities and strategising abilities, as well as the abilities listed above, granted him the position of Minister of Defense within the Republic. During his life he had become one of the most influential people in the galaxy, possibly moreso than his future Falleen brethren Xizor.

Behind the Scenes

 * Filose Naj was created and role played by Steve Young on TheStarWarsRP.com
 * The character was retired when the role player decided to take a 6 month break from role playing, along with others. Of the characters retired, only Sen Helto made a return. An end to Filose's history is being written.
 * This character was one of Steve's favorites that he had created, however he never was able to fit in with the SWRP like his Jedi characters were. This is the main reason he was scrapped for that site, a lack of interest from others.
 * The line by Darth Erebos; "We shall see, my large... green... friend." is clearly a reference to the Emperor's line "My little, green, friend." when speaking to Yoda.
 * The entire exchange between Filose and Fisor is almost a mirror between the exchanges between Mace Windu and Emporer Palpatine.
