Clothing:
Gathar tends to wear shimmersilk and loevin leathers in around
equal amounts, when at leisure, but will seldom wear much besides
body armor and camouflage when working.
Retainers, henchmen, and associates:
Gathar is rather popular among the various mercenary captains
and warriors around the Yaeger Sector, as she is a competent
warrior, who never does anything to endanger her companions. She
also tends to be very choosy about her jobs, and has thus developed
a reputation as a good luck charm, as her presence usually heralds
a clean, high profit mission. Aside from those in the mercenary
community, she has some friends in the Yaeger government who she
ran into when operating in Yaeger space, and enjoys working for Ithkiyr Gond, the Rilian scout responsible for most of the data
that the New Republic has on the systems of the sector.
Common haunts and habitues:
Gathar seldom spends much time in any one place, preferring to
go from job to job without laying down any roots. As such, she has
seen a larger fragment of the sector than most. However, her
natural caution about excessively difficult jobs has kept her out
of the Imperium sphere of influence for the most part, with the
occasional lucrative job at it's borders drawing her in at
intermittent intervals.
History:
Born to a farming family on Kamsur,
Gathar found the call of battle to be an irresistible lure. She
fought in several battles with trader funded armies, and she took
service with a mercenary captain who had put in at Kamsur looking
to fill holes in his ranks. The first assignment that captain took
with Gathar in his troop proved to be a disaster, with over half
the troop returning as casualties. Gathar saw the dangers inherent
in the job before they landed, and left that captain's service
immediately.
Since that time she has been going from job to job, using her
quite developed sense of discretion to chose between those jobs
that are worth the money offered, and those which definitely
aren't. She is willing to work under others, but will not put up
with a stupid or incompetent commander, a common trait among
Shakkur. Her goals are quite nebulous, and now she just lives from
battle to battle, enjoying the blood and the pay.
Personality:
Gathar can be described as a relatively carefree individual,
who doesn't really plan that far into the future. However, that is
only true of her overall plan. In terms of day to day matters she
is quite goal oriented, never losing focus on immediate objectives.
She is not a risk taker, and while she does enjoy the thrill of a
fair battle, she is not averse to taking easy money whenever
possible. She isn't greedy or particularly selfish, and thus has
always found it rather easy to make friends.
A quote:
"No, I figure most of those support troops wouldn't be able to
make it that far in. Count me out."
