Equipment:

Personal Equipment: Smael tends to carry the typical tools of a Shoran assassin. That is: 2 vibroblades, 2 heavy blaster pistols, monomolecule garrote, 2 concussion grenades, 20 poison darts. In addition, he will carry a light repeating blaster when he expects heavy combat. Smael will also carry an ancient dagger of unknown properties with him at all times, but he will never use it in combat.

Other Equipment: Smael's personal ship is a Modified Stiletto Light Freighter known as the Shadow Stalker. Smael will usually fly with an escort of 3 Scand Fighters. He also owns a base on an abandoned moon of Shiyith where the Stalker and the other ships dock.

Clothing:

Smael tends to wear the grey and black robes of a Shoran Master whenever possible, but will wear whatever clothing that will enable him to blend in when in social situations.

Retainers, henchmen, and associates:

Seven Shoran assassins had been off planet at the time of the Imperial attack, and have served Smael ever since, as he is the last living Shoran Master. He does not distinguish between the students at all, and other than the assassins, he has no known associates. These assassins will fly escort for him, and maintain the base in his absence. In exchange he instructs them in the Shoran martial arts, though he has little interest in giving those lessons.

Common haunts and habitues:

Aside from his base and the run, nobody knows where he spends his time, although it is rumored that he took the assassins deathlist with him when he escaped Shoran, and has been tracking down and killing each and every person on the list.

History:

The Shoran assassins were once a large and dangerous organization of hired killers and thugs that had the entire planet of Shoran under their thumbs. However, they accepted a contract on an Imperial Planetary governor around fifteen years ago. The governor found out about the contract, and called several favors owed to him by members of the Admiralty. A fleet blockaded Shoran, and began a systematic bombardment of the planet, leaving three OBSAT-10s in orbit once the planet's defenses were down. These bombardment satellites slowly started turning the planet into a wasteland.

Smael Thilok had been an up and coming member of the organization, gaining the rank of master based on his flair and reputation rather than his skill. He also developed a Ytrik addiction, which he had to break off with the news that the buildup was on the verge of killing him. When the bombardment began Smael managed to escape to the passages beneath his personal mansion, and after several months of travel through the ancient and crumbling sewers (that were rapidly disintegrating under the sustained bombardment) he reached the Shoran Assassins fighter bay. Most of the ships were lost attempting to run the Imperial blockade or knock out the ORBSATs, but several outdated and inoperational Stiletto Light Freighters remained. Smael managed to cannibalize those ships to produce the Shadow Stalker, and escaped the planet.

Unknown to him, the ORBSAT's ship tender had launched an interceptor armed with beacon torpedoes which marked the Stalker as it left the atmosphere. Imperial agents kept close track of Smael after that, and were preparing to eliminate him and his students when Riscah stepped in. Smael had been supporting himself by sneaking people into and out of Imperial controlled space, using the stealth of the Stiletto freighter to great effect, and Riscah saw him as an ideal captain for the Knifeman's run. Smael couldn't refuse Riscah's offer, as the alternative was death, but he is an unwilling agent at best. When he can, he substitutes the implanted mini-grenades with devices that look like those grenades to all tests but do not detonate ever, hoping to cause damage to the Empire.

Personality:

Before the destruction of Shoran, Smael was a flamboyant individual, living high and getting away by wits and style. However, after the fall of Shoran he has become bitter, unpredictable, and violent lashing out unexpectedly at anyone he can reach. If he could, he would strike out against the empire itself, though he will naturally kill anybody that tries to manipulate him. The Ytrik in his system remains a danger to him, as the slightest exposure to the drug will probably kill, and he is quite paranoid about that fact, though the only remaining records of his Ytrik addiction are in the crumbling record building of Shoran, located on the hell world of Shoran, where the daily turbolaser rain is already turning the seas to vapor.
