Thosso

Thosso was a male assassin and weapons expert of the.

Mercenary
Born before the fall of the, Thosso spent much of his early life serving as a mercenary and assassin. During the, Thosso found himself in the and assisted the nobles in defending their territory against the invaders. After the war, he was courted by several noble houses to join their staffs and armed forces, but ultimately chose to accept the offer of ; the most militant of the noble houses, it appealed to Thosso more than the others, as he felt useless when he could not employ his lethal talents.

An expert in a number of weapons, as well as martial arts, Thosso was often hired as a personal combat tutor for young nobles. He found the work degrading, but the hefty fees Mecetti nobles paid for his services kept his disgruntlement to himself. Whenever pirates or criminals operated in the Tapani sector, Thosso tried to be on the front lines to deal with them and keep himself sharp. He also killed a number of bounty hunters who tried to bring in members of House Mecetti.

Mecrosa
During the, when the Sith openly returned to the galaxy, the Mecrosa Order approached Thosso about membership, and he eagerly joined. He served as a combat instructor to young Mecrosa recruits, such as Marcus Antessio and Evangelia Maxico, and conducted a variety of stealth operations for the Mecrosa. He was deeply frustrated when died and the  fled into hiding, though he could appreciate the tactical value.

When the Mecrosa sent Marcus Antessio to in 154 ABY to obtain a pair of s for sale on the black market, Antessio selected Thosso as one of his agents for the strike team. Although Evangelia was nominally second-in-command, Antessio treated Thosso as his right hand man, and it was the Boltrunian who accompanied him to a number of bars to search for information, unknowingly passing Breek Zagrev and Kyriel Windrunner in the process.

Antessio's activities and his dark side presence in the Force attracted the attention of Halambo and his, Zee Pek. Thosso kept Zee Pek pinned down as Antessio dueled Halambo, but was forced to flee when the Jedi Master killed Antessio with a strike to the throat. He rejoined Evangelia's team, and his bitterness at the result of the fight led to him deferring to her command without objection. Thosso was mildly injured fighting the Grumyukkan as the Mecrosa identified and interrogated Malleigh Rason. He was present for Evangelia's duel with Kyriel, and did not object to her handing over the holocrons to Breek, though he privately disagreed with the decision.

In the wake of the failed mission, Lady Menal Bathiriat ordered Evangelia assassinated. Though loyal to the Mecrosa, Thosso was more loyal to his former trainee, and betrayed the secret to her. Evangelia successfully avoided the assassins and killed Lady Bathiriat herself. When Evangelia's father, Baron Offul Grant, assumed leadership of the Mecrosa, he gave no outward sign of complicity or knowledge, but gave Thosso a favored position in the Order that clearly indicated his approval.
