Kerige Velli

Kerige Velli was a Force-sensitive Reublic agent, originally a merchant, from the world of Muunilist who was born in 42 BBY. From an early age, he had an ambition to be an Intelligence Officer for the Republic but his opinion was soon changed soon after he ended his tenure at a Military Academy in a classified location dedicated to Intelligence Training. Kerige' teachers claimed that he was a lot of wasted talent, because soon after leaving the academy and leaving Republic Intelligence, he became a merchant back on Muunulist in 22 BBY, shortly before the beginnig of the Clone Wars. Kerige was claimed to have enjoyed Merchant work much more than he did in Intelligence, despite his meager income. He could remain close to home but also to work opportunities by staying on Muunulist. Shortly after the Battle of Muunilist, a battle in which Kerige defended his family homestead from Separatist and ended up being mistaked as a Republic Soldier and logged as an enemy of the CIS, ending up in him being called in by the Republic Military. The Republic were considering using him as a spy against the Separatist due to his being a merchant, which would be a cover for him. When he refused, the Republic Military officials blackmailed him by threatening his family, which drove Kerige to accept their offer but also to punch the official in his nose.

After the formation of the Galactic Empire, Kerige would end up being hunted by the Inquisitors first off because of his Force-sensitivity but also because of the perilous amount of information he had gathered on Palpatine and Dooku during the war. Because of this, he could never settle down on Muunulist and live the peaceful life he always wished for and ended up constantly on the run. Due to his connections with Mon Mothma, he was accepted into the Rebel Alliance shortly after it's formation in 2 BBY.

In 3 ABY Kerige was captured by the Imperials during the Battle of Hoth and was tortured personally by Darth Vader until he ceded to Vader and became a member of the Inquisitorus, being trained by Antinnis Tremayne. Kerige had no other choice but to dedicate his best efforts to hunting Jedi, because if he hesitated and slacked off, he'd be immediately revealed and most probably executed. Kerige ended up killing 2 Jedi Knights and assisting Vader in killing Roblio Darte to gain the Imperials trust and was finally allowed into the inner circle of the Inquisitorus and was given access to information regarding their operations. He secretly downloaded this infomation to a special data chip that he hid in the hilt of his lightsaber. Kerige finally got his chance to escape the Inquisitorius during the Battle of Kothlis when Darth Vader sent Velli to Kothlis to help Imperial-hired bounty hunter Skahtul apprehend Luke Skywalker. Kerige, pretending to get lost in the battle, stowed away on the Rebel Frigate, Redemption (ship) and returned to the Rebels.
