Biography

Early Life

Born on Corva Yag, he was adopted by Fujari Pirates. He was captured smuggling spice at 8 years of age and incarcerated in The Spire. The pirate crew who raised Jaquel were summarily executed after he had been interrogated at The Spire into giving away their hideout. The holo-feed of these events was shown to him as part of his re-education. Jaquel was transferred to the Academy of Carida for Forest Trooper training after his re-education, and learnt how to quick draw a Blurrg-1120 in his spare time by practicing on Ewok captives.

During his training, he stood next to the door of a ship Grand Moff Tarkin was boarding and overheard talk of fear tactics. This conversation inspired a lifelong obsession with proving the effectiveness of the Tarkin doctrine. He spent a month solo in the Shadowlands when his squad was killed on their first deployment, and was transferred to the Verity District following his extraction from Kashyyyk for training in Internal Affairs.

Adulthood

His first assignment for Internal Affairs was to investigate the 181st for plausible sedition. None was found, but he did learn to fly a TIE fighter whilst he was there. He liked the experience, and went on to learn how to fly a TIE/In at Prefsbelt. Following this assignment, he joined the 55th Imperial Navy Fleet's "Spider Squadron" and spent time liaising between the ISB, the 55th, and varied criminal elements as a double agent from 1BBY until 4ABY.

After this assignment, his belief and consistent extolling of the dark side as simple logical truth was one of the primary reasons he was headhunted to join the Secret Order of the Empire. He nearly fainted when he thought he saw Sheev look at him during his Oath of Allegiance, which resulted in him almost failing his training. He got news of the Battle of Endor after his final initiation ceremony. Jaquel's unwavering loyalty allows him to fly a TIE fighter or engage in espionage missions without any fear of death. Missing the Battle of Endor left a psychic scar which has resulted in him taking no excuses for Rebel sympathies and developing an inferiority complex due to not being able to help in the Emperor's time of need. This resulted in him flitting around serving what he assumed to be "The Emperor's Will" by hunting down known traitors for a few decades as a Sector Ranger.

The splintering of the Empire left him without a true purpose for decades of his life, and he found himself attempting to intuit the "correct" thing to do when being reduced back to the smuggling and piracy he had been educated out of pre-adolescence. Having spent the prime of his life consistently asking himself "what would Sheev do?", a chance encounter with an emissary of the Emperor's Hammer allowed him to bring the only real friend he had made who also happened to be the best ship engineer he had ever met along with him back into the Empire's service. Having attempted to enact the will of the Empire in the absence of the Emperor himself in the decades following the Battle of Endor, Jaquel jumped at the chance to have superiors give his life purpose again.

Hobbies

Blaster spinning, bonsai, butchery, dejarik, flukebladder pipe balaxan, Growdi harmonique, mantra meditation, mycology, omni-box, quick-drawing, singing bowl, stomp harmonium, swoop racing, vibroblade fighting. Although Jaquel plays many instruments, his preference for making ritual ambient music means that his compositions rarely get played outside of his personal quarters.
