PERSONALITY:
Senphir is a reserved person. Though trusting, he rarely ever gives out information, for fear of it being used against him. Slow to anger and well manner he is often mistaken as a member of high society, when in actuality it is his monastic upbringing.
HISTORY:
Senphir Besvin is an Umbaran born into one of the lower levels of the Umbaran caste system. Despite the position his family was in Senphir never wanted anything more than what he had. Because of how low in the caste system his family was, instead of finding ways to raise through the ranks, they chose to live a life of solitude and communion.
Even as a child Senphir was calm and quiet, preferring meditation over playing. Until one day, while he and his brothers where gathering food and supplies for the cold season. A man accused his older brother of stealing a fish, his brother told him to run and he did. The man gave chase, he was faster than Senphir could have hoped to be at such a young age. Running down the street, he saw a way he could out maneuver his pursuer, he jumped the fence in front of him and the gap it was meant to protect citizens from. Traveling over the rooftops and alleys, Senphir felt a rush unlike any other, he enjoyed it more than meditation. From that day forward, after his training and chores were done, Senphir would run the rooftops, finding new ways to get around the slums of Umbara.
Around the age of fourteen, during his training, Senphir performed a palm thrust and knocked over the rack that held there training weapons. He was surprised by this because he was over thirty feet away from it. His grandfather explained to him that this was Ki, an energy that few in his family were pure enough to receive. Senphir was told to meditate and learn to control his Ki and when to use it. After years of training and meditating on his grandfather’s words, he was able to concentrate his Ki into his unarmed strikes and occasionally with his blades.
At eighteen Senphir was on his way to gather food and supplies for the cold season as he did every year, when he spotted out the corner of his eye his older brother and a few of his friends carrying a large sack. When he went to investigate, he discovered that they had kidnapped a Rootai child, Senphir told them to return the child before the authorities caught them, causing shame to befall their family and drop them lower in the caste. His brother refused, arguing that his plan would raise their families standing, Senphir regretfully dispatched his brother and friends, and returned the child to his family. The child’s parents wanted to hire Senphir to protect the young girl, but he refused for he did not wish to leave his family.
When Senphir returned home with the food he was sent to gather, he was approached by the Elders of his family. His brother had twisted the truth, stating that Senphir had beaten him without provocation and for this, he was banished from his home and disowned by his family. Heart-broken and at a loss for what to do, Senphir returned to the Rootai family that offered him the protection job and accepted.
Over the next four years, Senphir protected the young girl, Melnaia, with every breath of everyday. She would often scold him for not resting and order him to do so. He was dedicated to the task of protecting his master. She grew fond of him and often gave him gifts, though they would be related to the task he’d been given, to avoid investigation by her father. When Melnaia was of age she asked her father is she could marry Senphir, pleading that it would make her truly happy. Her father was outraged and had Senphir immediately removed from the premises, but before he was removed Melnaia told him, she had arranged a ship for him to get off world. She told him to go to Coruscant and wait for her there, gave him her family crest and let him go. He did as he was told, went to the spaceport and headed for Coruscant.
Once he arrived he was unsure what to do while he waited for his master. He decided to start by learning his way around the city planet. The suit his master gave him allowed him to climb on any surface and he used it constantly. He travelled on foot almost everywhere, though rarely did his feet touch the ground. This talent soon began to attract some very rich attention. One night while he ran the rooftops, he was approached by a man with a datapad. Senphir had been instructed to protect a woman that was marked for death, a location, time and date was also listed. Confused, Senphir went to the designated location and followed the woman he was sent to protect.
Her assailants proved to be very persistent and numerous. Senphir protected her to the best of his ability and dispatched all who made an attempt on her life. Watching over her that night, Senphir had a feeling of nostalgia, though it was more difficult protecting this woman than it was to protect Melnaia, he felt at peace. The next morning a knock came at the window he was guarding, it was the woman, she told him to enter the building and come to her room and he did so. She told him he’d done a good job protecting her and that she would be keeping him on board for “other” work. Over the following year Senphir became quite the assassin. His unique tracking style set him apart from the rest, but once those who wished his mistress dead had been removed, she dismissed him.
Now Senphir is a freelance bodyguard/assassin, working for whomever until dismissed. He now owns a penthouse in the upper -class district with a garden terrace. He still carries Melnaia’s crest and waits for her to find him.
