(+) Cunning & Shrewd: To be a succesful smuggler one has to have a sharp mind. Scoundrels nonetheless but most if not all smugglers are sly,shrewd and cunning individuals and that is to be expected if they want to survive as in most situations smugglers are usually outnumbered and outgunned.
(+) Fast-drawing Gunslinger: In the rare cases where a smuggler might face a low number of adversaries even one, the skill of the blaster is essential. The faster you draw, the higher the chance you survive. Of course accurancy is also included. Zef's skills with blaster pistols have brought him quite some fame amongst his profession collegues and the underworlds of system he often smuggled goods to. His accurancy is also on par but not when it comes to marksmaning or long-range shots, this will be pointed out in weaknesses. Another note: His preferred weapon is a blaster pistol but he is also adept with carbines and rifles although not as expert as with pistols.
(+) Survival Instincts: Being on the illegal side of the galaxy and especially in the smuggler sector, one which you almost always must toss your pride from the window and take to heels, Zef is quite fast (also explained in bio), agile and has unorthodox methods of fleeing. His reflexes and quick reactions are also something that has saved him numerous times. And no by that doesn't mean he dodges bullets like Neo
(-) Meager Long-range Skills: Zef's skills are marginal when it comes to long-range combat. His accurancy to hit things far away with whatever weapon was below average. Zef also dislikes the use of snipers and finds them "unattractive".
(-) Hand-to-Hand Combat. No: Zef is a typical street/bar brawler with the typical skill of hurling punches and defending his ass when it came to a typical street or bar brawl but he is not one to last long in a close-quarter fight, so he almost always resorts to his cheap moves which are also boosted by his agility and reflexes. Yet again close-quarter combat without a blaster is certainly not his thing and he would attempt to evade such situations from happening.
(-) Old Man: Zef is no longer the young and energetic credit-obsessed smuggler but an older man. As a human this comes with physical drawbacks.

Biography
- Part I
Born on the good ol' smuggler's moon of Nar Shadaa but of Corellian heritage, and well Mandalorian. Although the latter heritage was not known to him until a long time in the future. Born as Zef Vohaloveer, later adopted the name as Zef Halo which was something smugglers often did. He was raised only by his father as according to him, Zef's mother was in a galaxy far far away. She sure was. His father worked as a mechanic of sorts on Nar Shadaa and fled as much as he could any ties with the underworld, which was hard as they were on Nar Shadaa.
The ambush did happen and the target was Zef. Being beaten by the thugs the now fourteen year old young Corellian was saved from one final lethal strike from the thugs by another gang which drove off the bandits beating them horribly and leaving them to flee. They took the boy immediately to medical attention and patched him up. But his saviors were a gang too just like those that were about to kill him and they wanted payment. At first it was an amazingly high tribute payment monthly along with percent of profit from his father's business but Zef's speech and haggling skills even from such a young age were able to convince the gang to receive a very low, even low for Zef's father, instead Zef offered his services to the gang.
Zef was able to conceal his membership in a thug gang from his caring father for a long time. Till the age of twenty Zef was a succesful gang member of the "She'grer Hooligans". She'grer was the adjacent neighborhood of where Zef lived, Zef's neighborhood was also the Hooligans' territory after a massive raid against the thugs that were terrozing the Vohaloveer Garage. With the "She'grer Hooligans" he picked up a lot of scoundrel skills - using a blaster, cheap shots, dirty fighting and of course making his way solo in the underworld along with building connections there something which Zef was well capable of due to his talented speech skills. Connection in the underworld were essential and Zef knew that especially when Nar Shadaa entered a period of one after another bloody gang wars. Being a She'grer Hooligan also made Zef utilize his sprinting skills, whether it was because he was stealing illegal prodcuts from other criminals, running from police enforcers or fleeing ambushes and attempts on his life, or even simply delivering important packages to bigger criminal syndicates. The last activity although quite dangerous and risky built Zef some reputation in bigger spheres of the criminal world. Being a "messenger" he often did enter places of much more notorious crime lords, unlike his other gang fellows and forged connections there which would prove handy later on.
Two weeks after his twentieth birthday his whole life turned to a much different path. The "epidemic of gang wars" struck the "She'grer Hooligans" and they entered a fierce battle with another gang. The reasons were many - territory, operations on each other's territories, fighting for recognition by higher criminal syndicates and so on. The Hooligans lost and dispersed, many were killed, many were traitorous and joined the victorious gang and other simply faded away just like Zef who was able to do so due to his personal code of "never being at the top cause that's where you attract sniper rifles." A week after the destruction of the "She'grer Hooligans" Zef's father was on his dying bed. It was then that his father, Trek Vohaloveer, revealed Zef's origins and heritage and everything about Zef's mother - Terra Kyr'bes. (read Keer-bez)
During his career as a smuggler, around the age of 25, he had finished a smuggling run on Zeltros. As any other male in the galaxy, Zef indulged into the relaxation services the planet offered. What was first believed a relaxation session turned into an affair with a local Zeltron prostitute - Yula Perl. Yet, love could not chain down the young, wild and free Zef who, after finding out she was pregnant, 'went for a pack of cigarettes'. This would go on to haunt him for the rest of his life.
So Zef found it hard to comprehend that his mother was a Mandalorian of a long Mandalorian line of heritage dating back centuries back. His father, Trek, left or literally fled from his wife due to him not wanting his child to become a soldier. Although Trek dearly loved Terra and it was painful leaving her, he rejected her constant pressure on raising Zef as a Mandalorian and it was escape his only choice to prevent any future events such as Terra kidnaping her own child. It was Nar Shaada, the place where all scum gathered, where Trek fled with his two year old son. It was the only place where it was possible to hide from Terra, even she - a bounty hunter - would find it hard to find Trek and their child Zef. Despite the father's success of preventing Zef on going the Mandalorian way for nearly three decades destiny had it's way to find everyone. And it did find Zef.
A year ago before the current events Zef Halo was on a smuggling run on a planet which had problems with local rebels attempting to usurp the power. A planet in the far reaches of the Outer Rim. The scoundrel easily passed the cargo check by the authorities due to his hidden compartments on the ship and successfully was able to smuggle weaponary to the local resistance forces. Lots of cash were made by this deal so the good ol' scoundrel Zef Halo decided to take his time relaxing on this planet which was a typical Outer Rim planet - more nature less urbanization - now that was some real vacation. Zef was only able to relax for a complete day until, well the Mandalorians assaulted the fierfek planet.
He barely escaped without a scratch as he fled from the hotel to his ship at the starport while his luck saved him from the bombardments from the air. Blessing his remote control of his ship he had ignited the ship's engines and prepared it for flight before he arrived at the starport. His ship did not go unnoticed especially since this planet did not have heavy traffic. The Corellian Bolt was chased down by fighters but the smuggler's ship was not one to be underrated, it easily went on par when it came to speed with the starfighters. Surprising the pilots of the starfighters with the freighter's unusual capabilities he was able to escape them with a few moves but not for long. He simply jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
Zef had hoped that on the other side of the planet there won't be any ships but he was wrong as he left the atmosphere of the planet a cruiser had appeared from hyperspace. Cursing his luck he prayed the cruiser did not have tractor beams which was almost impossible so Zef prayed his ship would be able to reach space free of the gravity well to jump into hyperspace. Just as he did and as he was about to swiftly change his vector accordingly the freighter's controls started beeping and alerting that the ship was caught in a tractor beam. Zef cursed under his breath his luck once again but he also seemed a bit happy with the fact that he was alive... still.
On board the ship he was quickly dragged by Mandalorians on the ship's brig. Zef did not want any of this, he did not want to be a Mandalorian although it somehow felt familiar maybe due to the Mandalorian lineage running in his blood. A few hours later the brig was full from different kind of sentients and soon enough all the captured sentients which included Zef were offered two choices: Join us or perish.
The system the Mandalorians employed surely worked well as only seven or eight sentients preferred death rather than becoming a Mandalorian. Well Zef was one of the many sentients which were assimiliated in the Mandalorian culture although in Zef's veins ran the blood of the Mandalorian culture.
Nowadays... It's been a year since Zef became a Mandalorian although at the beginning he felt ashamed of prefering to live as a Mandalorian and dishonor his father but Zef believed his father would have approved it even with a griefing heart. His father was a strict follower of the code that life was the most important thing. So to live another day was a better option then being shot by a Mando in the head on that brig. During that year as a Mandalorian undergoing training and fighting on numerous fronts he adapted easily in the Mandalorian society most likely due to his heritage. Zef became interested with the Mandalorian culture and especially language which he began often using. The smuggler though never turned into a strict machine follower of Mandalorian code, no ! He was still that smartass typical scoundrel attitude smuggler but in another outfit and with interest in Mandalorian culture.
During the same year he also learned that his mother was dead since three years and that she had predicted that her son would sooner or later become a Mandalorian, she was sure that she had told Mandalore and his most trusted lieutenants that once her son became a Mandalorian he is to inherit the clan compound on Mandalore. And so he did, only to found he was the only member of his clan left. Zef was divided by his ambitions, to serve for life the Mandalorian cause and leave a generation after him to follow the Mandalorian way or find a way to escape and go back smuggling. His second option weighted much more, for now cause you know in the end Zef is a lover of the coin, a scoundrel.
And so his adventures as a Mandalorian with [member="Isley Verd"], [member="Halik Falkosi"], @Hutuun Kyr'amud, [member="Verz Horak"] among others commenced.

- Part 2
After escaping the Mandalorians two decades ago, leaving behind a man who Zef would call his one and only true friend in the galaxy - [member="Isley Verd"] - the scoundrel finally returned. His Mandalorian blood was too thick. The Mandalorians had reformed from what they had been during his time as a Mandalorian, they were called the United Clans of Mandalore with no Mand'alor yet.
Mobilized immediately as part of the security forces during the Alderaan negotiations between the Galactic Republic, the Mandalorians and the Royal Organa House of Aldeeran. During that event, Zef finally met up with his good ol' friend Isley. Both too old for this poodoo. The young, ambitious and hyped to prove himself Isley Verd had been replaced by a figure emanating power and respect across the galaxy. Yet, despite the difference, it all felt the same again. The good ol' days.
During those events, he met briefly with what he assumed was a bathrobe i.e a Jedi but turned out to be a Mandalorian lightsaber wielding Corellian. [member="Keira Ticon"] was a nightmare to everyone, except for that pesky Sith Lord [member="Dredge"] and his a**hole actions.
Unfortunately their reunion was interrupted as Isley's negotiations revealed that the daughter of the Queen of Alderaan - [member="Faith Organa"] - had gone missing somewhere on the mountains of Alderaan. Zef was dispatched with Field Marshal [member="Vilaz Munin"] to seek and rescue the Princess from whatever peril she had gotten herself into. During the mission, Zef had the bad experience of trying to have a conversation with the Field Marshal which resulted with the latter threatening him with a bolt through the head.
Eventually, the Mandalorian rescue team met up with the Commander [member="Draco Vereen"] who had found Faith Organa quite frostbitten. The whole situation seemed as if taken from a holodrama. Assissting the Dragon of Mandalore with the rescue of the Princess was the end of Zef's actions on Alderaan. Leaving behind the planet after the negotiations had failed to go towards the Mandalorian's side. The scoundrel, unnaturaly, felt a salty taste in his mouth which would always remind him of Alderaan.
His next notable experience was the participation in the Mandalorians' efforts of reclaiming the planet of Wayland. Partnered with the youth Mandalorian [member="Gray Raxis"], both engaged a pocket of Primeval resistance that had occupied an important former Mandalorian fort - fort Monroe. Named after a Mandalorian female that he remembered from the Mandalorian operation on Taris two decades ago. Just a young and ambitious girl back then, [member="Mia Monroe"] had gone to become a legend among the Mandalorians.
After the succesful claim of Wayland, the sum of Mandalorians thirsting for the Crusader ways grew and grew until the formation of the Mandalorian Crusaders. Following the only man he could call vod, Isley Verd, Zef joined the sum of Mandalorians that craved for the return of the old ways. The return of the Mandalorians that forged their honor in waging war with the rest of the galaxy. The same Mandalorians that he had been part of two decades ago.
As those tendencies began to grow, Zef found himself looking for his many connections in the Underworld to gather resources and allies for the Mandalorian Crusaders. Unfortunately for him, as he was mustering strength on Nar Shadaa, a young Zeltron girl met up with him. Thinking it was just another prostitute wanting a safe passage off-world, he quickly dismissed her until she revealed she was his daughter - [member="Joza Perl"]. All the feelings he had dug in a deep grave within him sprung up. All the responsibilities he had always ran from had finally caught up with him. With no other choice and much wiser now, Zef knew he had to repent for his mistakes as a youth.
Somewhere after that heartbreaking event, the Mandalorian found out that the galaxy was exploding with demand for a solution to drama. Something convenient and easy that could lower the levels of problems for the sentients of the galaxy. Something in the form of a pill. Hence, the founding of Chill Pill Industries.
Afterwards, Zef spearheaded the Mandalorian Crusaders' first operation - the breaking of the most famous and well protected prison in the galaxy. Star's End. With the help of the nightmare [member="Keira Ticon"] and the emotionless smart mouthed mechanic from Kol Atorn [member="Runi Verin"], the Mandalorians struck the prison head on. Their superiority in the air during that operation was thanks to the Miraluka ace [member="Juwiela Melec"].
He realized soon enough that his armor needed the superior beskar. Zef had to become a full-pledged Mandalorian finally and the beskar'gam was a neccessity. In partnership with an outlaw such as him - [member="Miss Blonde"] - both engaged pirates who dared to steal beskar from the Mandalorians. He forged a really friendly relationship with the crime lady, although deep inside he believed that she had tendencies of being a d*ck when uncontrolled.
That was not the last time he saw Miss Blonde, as she had hired a rogue beskarsmith to forge an armor for him. The work was fascinating while the results extraordinary. Zef very well knew that he was in debt to a crime lady and that debt would soon be called to be repaid.
And it was. Assissting Miss Blonde in the reactivation of an old Stygium mine, the walk in the park turned into a nightmare escape from stealthed hellbent droids that tore apart the crime lady's enforcers. A King Droid was about to the same to the duo until they reached the exit and had Miss Blonde's ship blast the damn thing to pieces.
After those odd events, Zef had to go for a drink at a dirty, full of scum cantina. There he would enjoy his Corellian ale with an alcohol loving, scarred, mysterious and Empress 'friendly' man from Corellia - [member="Sarge Potteiger"]. The two engaged in a Cira-slow conversation of their past while they enjoyed their drinks. The former by far much more than Zef.
Not long after, he had to go to Essien where the secret bastion of the Mandalorian Crusaders had been made on what used to be a former Mandalorian Crusaders, of the Mandalorian Wars, fort. There, Zef invited his daughter Joza Perl to participate in some dad and daughter activities which included being tossed from a cliff with beskar'gam and an Ysalimir nutrient frame on the back of his Force using daughter. Furthermore, the activities turned into rockets being fired at her and into a Mando boot camp. The worst of boot camps.
