Davos Poragon, known as the Emperor of the Underworld (Imperator Inferis in Old Morsian) to his criminal gang, was a Human male crime lord and leader of the Coruscant criminal gang Imperium Inferorum from the Morsian Protectorate Planet Sol Infinius.
A childhood petty criminal, Davos quickly became well-known to the police force in his home town as a troublemaker and criminal throughout his childhood and teenage years. When he accidentally committed a murder, something which was punishable by death, he fled the planet and travelled to Coruscant. There he fell into the gangs readily, and his lifelong skills for thievery and crime quickly got him noticed, and soon he grew a following.
Davos's criminal empire swiftly grew throughout the levels of the Coruscant Underworld and in a few short years, Davos was in control of one of the largest and most powerful gangs amongst the lower levels. With much wealth and power, Davos ran a tight and ruthless ship and his gang was kept strong through fear and obedience, with petty infractions punished most harshly. Though Davos had a strange sense of honor and his gang kept their own code of conduct, he became a notorious criminal and many different factions and people that he crossed wanted him dead.
He was subject to various assassination attempts, with large bounties placed on his head which attracted bounty hunters and mercenaries alike who tried their hardest to get Davos in their sights. However, his downfall was not to be due to any outside influence, but rather internal strife and complications. Davos's gang got into several large gang wars which weakened them, and as more of their members were killed or defected, his power over his subordinates weakened, and soon they revolted against him, breaking off into various small rival gangs which effectively ended Davos's criminal empire.
Declared dead by officials as his gang collapsed, Davos fled Coruscant pursued by his childhood friend Ernan Vos, who had become a bounty hunter some years prior in the hopes of finding her friend and bringing him home safely. She pursued him as he fled across the galaxy, eventually catching up with him. Despite all her attempts to reason with him and get him to travel with her, the collapse of his gang and the weight of his actions over the course of his life resulted in him atoning for his actions and committing suicide.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Davos was born in 80 BBY to poor parents in one of the moderately sized desert towns on the planet's surface. Due to his parents lack of money, Davos quickly turned to crime to acquire food and valuables to attempt to sell. As a result, he rarely went to school and learned to detest authority early into his life, performing more and more petty thefts to support himself and his family. Despite this, he formed a childhood friendship with Ernan Vos, and despite the two having very different personalities, they remained close.
Ernan was always trying to persuade Davos to drop his criminal ways, however he refused and would often attempt to get her involved with him, though these schemes rarely succeeded in getting her involved. As Davos grew older though his childhood years, he became bolder and began undertaking more violent and larger crimes. He developed a reputation in the town for troublemaking and thievery, and was well known to the Publicae Auxiliam forces who policed the town, though often when caught, instead of locking him up the auxiliaries would instead beat him as instant punishment and an attempted deterrent, though it never worked, instead fuelling his hatred for authority.
Fleeing the planet[]
Shortly after his nineteenth birthday, Davos was robbing someone in an alleyway when he was discovered by a pair of patrolling auxiliaries. They charged down the alley to apprehend him, and in the ensuing chase, Davos' victim managed to escape but one of the auxiliaries was killed by him, using the sharp knife he carried as a weapon. Fleeing the scene, he knew that if he was caught, it would be death for him, so as soon as he could, he fled the planet and the Morsian Empire entirely.
