Zawimo Wehthem

Zawimo Wehthem was a male Sechifil weapons designer from Plorgitz.

Raised in a family with a heritage of weapons design, Zawimo distinguished himself early among his siblings and peers, serving design internships in his early teens. He opted to study offworld at the University of Chorrdo on Mezlagob, where he graduated with honors in the Engineering program. He served a post-graduate internship with MezArms and was hired on with the research and development department. At some point he designed his own personal assistant droid, KOI-3D, to assist him in his design projects.

Wehthem earned a reputation at MezArms for unorthodox design techniques and creativity which allowed him to make technology more efficient and adapt it for a variety of species. He was approached by Coprakim Armaments, who offered him a raise and a senior design position, which Wehthem accepted. He often performed contracts for the Golden Empire's government, and was eventually promoted to Design Chief in the Special Arms Division.

In late 154 ABY, Wehthem personally took on the project of designing armor for Jinyx Windrunner, the Drakonus apprentice of Breek Zagrev.

Appearance and personality
Of average height for a Sechifil at 1.65 meters (5'5”), Zawimo had his species' thin build and long, thin fingers. His skin was lavender, and he had amber eyes. He often dressed in form-fitting, expensive garments of silk and other valuable materials. His voice was smooth and languid, and he often spoke in a drawling manner. He often preferred to have drinks on hand when he was working, and had a particular fondness for Alander Ice from the Nortipeesh Vineyards.

Zawimo had an oily manner, and was entirely conscious of his talents, often dismissing routine projects as being beneath his intellectual capabilities. He had many admirers of his technical abilities and creative genius, but few friends who could tolerate his arrogance and eccentricities.

Behind the scenes
Proving that inspiration sometimes comes from the unlikeliest of sources, Sakaros came up with Zawimo Wehthem's name while the chorus of “” was stuck in his head.
