Mother of Pearl
Name: Adnan Saeed
Loyalties: Husk Lizard Slavery Ring
Role: Slaver, Leader of the Husk Lizards, Dark Jedi Knight equivalent
Development Threads: N/A
Age: 32
Species: Chalactan Human
Appearance: Adnan is roughly 6 ft [~182 cm] in height with a solid build, tan complexion and dark hair. He has a commanding presence, amplified by his resting face which makes him appear perpetually stern. He often wears business casual or formal attire. When negotiating transactions or dealing with business partners, he appears more amicable, though still retains a no-nonsense aura.
Personality: Like his predecessor, Adnan is ruthless and power hungry, though not outwardly brutish. His dream is to expand his business to become that of an untouchable slaving empire, and he will do anything to see that dream come to fruition. Patient and calculating, Adnan knows how to weave his way around the law, when to bribe and when to kill. He knows how to lure in targets, how to break them, and has little remorse in doing so. He’s also a shameless womanizer, taking pride in “breaking in” female slaves himself.
Force Sensitivity: Yes, Knight level
Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber whip
Skills:
-Lightwhip weilding (Knight level)
-Crucitorn (Knight level)
-Force Subjugate (Apprentice level)
-Mind Trick (Apprentice level)
Wealth: Barely breaking even at this point, but projected to increase
Combat Function: Doesn’t fight often, but is decently trained in melee combat (unarmed combat, use of light whip)
Notable Possessions: Red Lightwhip given to him by Allegra
Name: Farouk Saeed
Loyalties: Husk Lizard Slavery Ring
Role: Slaver, Numbers Guy
Development Threads: N/A
Age: 29
Species: Chalactan Human
Appearance: Shorter and smaller than his brother, Farouk stands at roughly 5’8” ft [~172 cm] lankier build, tan complexion and dark hair. He has a soft face and kind eyes, and often keeps his facial hair a little shaggier than that of his brother’s. He tends to wear business casual clothing, often being seen in a button down and slacks.
Personality: The more soft-spoken of the Saeed brothers, Farouk lets his more ruthless brother take the lead—albeit a bit unwillingly—and sticks to the more behind the scenes work. While the others deal with the dirty work, it’s Farouk who crunches numbers, creates budgets and organizes everything from payroll to major transactions. He is not the type of man to revel in cruelty and exerting his power over slaves, but will put them in their place if necessary. He and Adnan don’t always see eye to eye, but the clever younger brother knows that he needs to follow his older brother’s path to survive and hopefully make it big.
Force Sensitivity: None
Weapon of Choice: Blaster
Skills:
-Good at reading people
-Excellent organizational skills
- Knows how to keep a low profile
Wealth: Barely breaking even at this point, but projected to increase
Combat Function: None, fairly accurate with a blaster and can throw a punch but generally does not engage in combat for he is breakable.
Notable Possessions: N/A
History:
The Saeed brothers were born to a prostitute mother named Layla Saeed on Ord Radama—both men have different fathers, though their mother can’t exactly pinpoint which of her clients sired either child. Layla was often busy working, and often had little time for her sons, leaving the two boys to wander the streets of Ord Radama and get into trouble. To help make ends meet, the Adnan and Farouk became petty thieves, stealing food and robbing easy targets. One day, they attempted to rob a well-dressed woman assuming that she was a tourist. Upon trying to snatch her purse, the woman easily caught them and deployed a taser baton on the two boys. As the pair recovered from being stunned, the woman introduced herself as Allegra—and enterprising slaver who’d come to their part of Ord Radama to expand her operations.
The brothers soon joined up with Allegra who paid them well for their services. They helped her scout the neighborhood and pick potential marks, sometimes even going so far as to pose as lost children looking for their mother in order to lure future slaves in before they could be snatched. Allegra was a cunning, manipulative woman whose business thrived on Ord Radama. She kept her employees in line, and treated both Adnan and Farouk like her own sons. It wasn’t long before she’d purchased numerous clubs and brothels, staffing them with her own slaves.
Aside from being a successful slaver, Allegra was also a Dark Jedi. Her Force sensitivity and training was kept secret in order to give her an edge over unsuspecting targets or opponents. Her powers were mainly used to coerce, subjugate and torture—largely at a mental level to keep her abilities less apparent. She was a skilled practitioner of Crucitorn and various Force based subjugation techniques which she passed on to a young Force sensitive Adnan. As they grew older, Adnan became more power hungry and Farouk grew jealous of his older brother receiving special treatment. A rift started to form between the brothers, but their lives came crashing down when Allegra’s main base of operations was subject to a Jedi raid.
The raid officially dissolved Allegra’s organization, with many of her former employees scattering throughout the Galaxy. While Allegra herself was captured and held by the Jedi, the Saeed brothers managed to escape to Nar Shaddaa. There, the pair used their knowledge of smuggling and slaving to start up their own underground business, considering it was all they’d ever known. Thus, the Husk Lizard slavery ring was born, and slowly began to grow.
