Getai Doru
'The Red Emperor'
Desription
In the conflict of wars of what beyond the shining gleam of armour, lightsaber wielders and grand ships floating there are those who would seek to profit. The smart, the cunning or being well-enough connected can have someone from rough origins rise to the stairs of wealth, power or influence. Those who fail see themselves settling for a life as a grunt or paid guard if they are big enough or know how to shoot.
But what happens if those who fail get lucky?
Such is the tale of Getai Doru - born into life as a slave in a privatly owned mine within the mid-rim. With an owner settled in enough money to pay off local republic representatives to look the other way, his childhood and most of the late teens was spend digging, digging and never even thinking of a better life - for what else was there for the lowest of the low? A mindset that would not last as he happened to be picked to replace his owners former's guard given he was 'big and tall enough' to serve the image. As rocky dust cleared from his lungs and he got to know the taste of clean water his desire to 'have the best' only grew.
Serveral years later, following a succesful slave revolt and being bounched around the illiegal smuggling routes, he found himself on Plooma and was quickly drafted into the petty squabbling of lower gangs not even worth enough to be taken notice of by the local garrison. Said petty conflicts eventually saw the minor gangs dwindling in power, firepower and organization - leaving a lucky gap for someone who had happened to survive long enough and be big enough for easy intimidation.
With years now passed Getai Doru has grown wiser and wider in waistline - edging out a meager but consistant growth for his 'Crimson Emporium', using retrofitted republic shuttles and his old connections of a life formerly led to provide him an edge in smuggling over others in the area. In addition he is targeting local officials with ocassional bribes and somehow knowing how and when attempted raids on his hideouts occur.
Draped in long robes, luxuries (that can be afforded) and a handful of well-armed loyal men he contently sits atop the 'throne' of lesser gangs on Plooma.
Additional detail: Second-in-command is a tall red Zabrak cyborg by the name of 'big red'.
