[*]
Role: Councilor and Politico
[*]
Links: N/A
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
Age: Middle Aged
Force Sensitivity: N/A
Species: Quermian
Appearance: Look up. Keep looking up. Keep going. There. Now you can look into the judgmental abyss of Longinus' two tiny eyes. He is extremely gaunt, to the point that whenever he meets Gorba in person the Hutt makes an offhand comment about "needing a sandwich." Longinus prefers flowing, elegant robes that drape handsomely from his willowy frame.
Name: Callum Longinus
[SIZE=9pt]Loyalties: Bareesh Kajidic, Handooine, Mara-Perlemian Trade Council[/SIZE]
Wealth: Upper end of the tax bracket.
Notable Possessions: A courier shuttle worth more than most people would make in their lifetimes.
Skills:
Diplomat - First and foremost, Callum seeks to win friends and influence people. If that does not work, he falls back upon veiled threats and economic sanctions.
Economist - He possesses a degree from the University of Coruscant and a certain knack for predicting market fluctuations.
[*]
Personality: A craven, dastardly fellow, the Quermian is as two-faced as his two-brained biology might suggest. He will heap praises to your face, while simultaneously marshaling a team of lawyers to bereave you of your hard earned position in a hostile takeover.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Weapons of Choice: Economic Sanctions.
Combat Function: The battlefield of politics. His presence on any other battlefield would soon be missed as he beats a hasty retreat.
A graduate of the University of Coruscant, Callum was once an esteemed economist before he lost everything in the great One Sith real estate crisis of ABY 839. Also known as that one time the Sith depopulated a planet to fill it with Vong. Needless to say, Callum had amassed quite a bit of property interest on Selvaris, which became worthless over the course of a few days.
Suddenly destitute, he fled to the Outer Rim to escape his creditors. One of Gorba's bounty hunters captured him and dragged him before the Hutt, who, apprising the Quermian's worth, cut him a deal. Gorba would purchase Callum's debt, but instead of sending him to a debtor mine, Gorba set him up on a planet called Handooine, whose only importance came from its proximity to the Perlemian trade route and the fact that the Hutt's smuggling operations used it as a significant waypoint.
In the wake of the Silver Jedi's apparent dissolution, the Mara-Perlemian Trade Council arose to protect corporate interests. Through a series of shell companies, Gorba funneled money into enough political action committees to vault Callum into a seat on the council representing the interests of Handooine.
