History
Heritage
Cade "Taurus" Tezo was born 0 BBY in the capital of Iktotch, Ankhela, to his coruscanti mother Lyrse Verr and his iktotchi father Ranhu Tezo. He has an older half-brother from his mother's first marriage, Tret Verr, who was a pilot for the Empire and later a smuggler.
His mother served as a communication officer for the Galactic Empire and was stationed in the only imperial outpost in Ankhela. Her duties were to uphold communication with the blockade forces stationed in the orbit of Iktotch. His father was a trader, who worked together with the imperials to provide food and luxury goods for the outpost garrison. His parents met on one of this supply trades and fell in love, with Lyrse getting pregnant shortly after.
Early Life
Growing up was very difficult for Tezo. As an iktochi with a human mother, most children ignored or taunted him for his heritage and being the son of an imperial officer was officially accepted, but behind locked door a cardinal sin.
As he was shunned by other kids, he often played alone in a near technic junkyard, where he learned to build various things from spare parts like toys, scanners and later more or less functionable droids.
Since he could walk, he helped is father making deliveries to support the imperial blockade force, through that he learned a lot of things about his homeplanet, his people and his culture, without ever visiting an iktotchese School and with additional help from his mother, he learned quickly how to write and to read despite being only four years old.
However at the age of five Tezo lost his mother to the Forces of the New Republic that broke through the remaining imperial blockade, coerced them to flee and destroyed the outpost in Ankhela. His mother died in the crossfire while trying to protect her family. His father and brother fled with Tezo in their YZ-775 medium transport ship, while repelling several starfighters and barley made it out alive.
