Sylvak

Sylvak was a Cathar, from the planet of the same name. He began his career as a spacer at a young age (it's easy to say you're older than you are when you're 2 meters tall), finding work as a smuggler, bounty hunter, and mercenary. He had risen to the position of captain aboard the Archer, a KDY Star Galleon. After being heavily damaged in a pirate attack, the vessel and her remaining crew limped to the Sluis Van Shipyards, where Sylvak met Jacen Wayland. The smuggler offered him a job as a privateer, and agreed to repair Sylvak's ship as a condition of his employment. The ship, newly rechristened the Angler, joined Wayland's Wilders as an important tactical asset. Two of Sylvak's most prized possessions were his personal weapons, a Merr-Sonn Model 434 "DeathHammer" blaster pistol (modified for increased damage at the expense of its "stun" setting) and a Jengardin double-bladed vibroblade.
