History
The life of Qwint Akkaro has been a long and storied one. He started off his life on the aquatic world of Mon Cala. Like many, young Mon Calamari, Qwint was stricken with a wanderlust for the Stars. He started off trying to do it the legitimate way. At the start of his spacefaring career, Qwint enlisted into the Mon Calamari naval forces. However, the young man had trouble with authority. He was placed under the command of a particularly stern and authoritarian quartermaster. While he learned much in the Navy, Qwint decided to strike out on his own.
In a move that is considered taboo by his people, Qwint instead left Mon Cala's oceans to pursue a career in smuggling. For many years, he was involved in many different activities befitting his new role in life. From carrying cargo past certain systems to escorting various nerdowells, Qwint was embedded into this lifestyle. Yet, as he got older, he soon felt like he could not continue.
One fateful day, Qwint's age got the better of him during a job. While he was able to complete it and survive, he became severely injured to the point that his right leg needed amputation. After this event, Qwint decided to retire. He took his savings and decided to settle down. He had seen the Galaxy change so much over the course of his lifetime that he now felt he was old enough to sit back and enjoy life's simpler pleasures.
He took up residence in the city of Kaadara, on Naboo. There, using the wealth he had gathered over the years, Qwint set up a business that acted as both a local tavern and a fishmongery. Simply called
Qwint's Place, it is a quiet hole-in-the-wall for any traveler passing through Kaadara to stop and enjoy a hot meal or buy seaside delicacies. And while Qwint has given up the smuggling life, he has kept contact with old acquaintances from the previous life. Should anyone want information, they need only ask....and be ready to pay up front!

Strengths and Weaknesses[+] Amphibian: As a Mon Calamari, Qwint is the ability to breathe both underwater and in most habitable atmospheres. He is also a good swimmer.
[+] A Pirate's Life: as a result of his life as a spacer, Qwint has remarkable skills as a starship pilot, mechanic, and navigator.
[+] Connections: in spite of Qwint giving up the smuggler's life, he still maintains frequent contact with allies that he's made over his career. All it would take is one call to find out any information someone might be after.
[-] Aged: while far from being venerable for his species, Qwint is on the older side being middle-aged. His reflexes are not as good as they used to be and has started to show signs of onset arthritis.
[-] Peg-Legged: as a result of the injury that caused him to retire, Qwint's right leg had to be amputated. As a replacement, he received a cybernetic, peg leg-like prosthetic. While he has gotten used to it, he still walks with a slight limp. This makes them not as maneuverable as he used to be.
