Sith Guardian Argyle Paltos
Argyle Paltos
Biography
"To put it simply I was born to a house considered long extinct on Serreno, but the DNA in my blood will tell you that the House of Paltos is far from gone. My family did not have the slightest idea how we ended up in our predicament. I know that House Paltos has been thought long dead long before the Clone Wars. What we did know is that we at the time of my birth were humble merchants working along the Mid Rim and making a fine living do not get me wrong. When I was born the doctors gave my parents the "bad news"...namely that i was born with Dwarfism. However my parents in their own way loved me as much as I loved them back. I had it all, a loving pair of parents, a future as a tradesman, wealth, respect even if we were simple merchants. I felt back then I was going to live a good life...I was wrong before I even turned 10...
It was a clear night when they came. I had no idea who they were, why they were there or what in Malachor they were after. All I know is that I was the only survivor in the rubble of a house in flames and my parents brutally butchered in their sleep. I only gained a paltry sum of cash for inheritance but taxes and debt collectors took them and my Family's business from me. I merely went from a child who had a bright future to one who had none. I spent the next five years learning three things: That the Galaxy is a cruel place, that information can buy you more things than money can ever could, and most importantly of all that the Dark Side of the Force was a powerful weapon when applied just right. That Lesson I gained at the age of 15 when i met a mysterious Munn named Gregori. He saw something in me other than some lowly dwarf cause he took me in and gave me the gift of knowledge. Knowledge of the Dark Side of the Force, its energies, and most imperatively, the judicious application of it to gain what you desire. What did I want from it as a boy of 15? Revenge naturally...
I took my time, in between my studies under Master Gregori of the Sith Eternal, I used my knowledge to gain two things: Funds to either use the services of spies, assassins, and investigators...and the occasional bribe...and information regarding the identities of the men who butchered my family and burnt down my home. I had grown competent with the Lightsaber let me assure you, but I will proudly boast that possibly only the Sith Eternal and his Lieutenants could best me when it comes to my knowledge of the Force. It took me 5 years, but one by one i found them and gave them their just deserts...at least to some of them. There were a few i spared, mostly due to either they had lost their minds because of life's circumstances, or they had been innocent in one form or another. Either way out of guilt, the Forces will, or by my own hand...they all paid well for their injustice upon me, my family, and all those who suffered. It was during this time that I discovered my Family's Noble Heritage as a Lesser House of Serreno. The concept of a Nobel House having a sense of Nobless Oblige took to me. Whenever i made a sizable amount of money that was of no use to me I made it a habit to make anonymous donations to many downtrodden. I had learned well the cruelty of the streets, but I made myself a promise to never forget that Cruelty and replace it with kindness. I willingly admit that I am a bleeding heart when it comes to the poor, the downtrodden, and the outcasts. I guess that is why I found myself right at home with the Sith Eternal despite their philosophy. In the end, we are all outcasts in a Galaxy still stung by the foolishness of that Sidious fellow.
In case you are wondering if I am as good as I claim, why am i not known to even my fellow Sith? The answer to that is in the wake of my Master's death years earlier I disappeared from the eyes of the Cult. I've been practicing, training...preparing. I intend to build this Galaxy into a better place but first, I must tear the apathy down. To do that, I will need to make friends both within the Cult and out. I will need to amass resources more than just a paltry fortune i have gained and lost. Most importantly of all I must have information. This above all else is not only the key to my own personal goals but the key to a larger picture the Eternal has in store for the Galaxy. To put it simply: I have a lot of work to do..."
General Information, Appearance, Personality, Gear, Droid, and Ship
NAME: Argyle Paltos
SPECIES: Human
GENDER: Male
AGE: 40
HEIGHT: 1.3 meters
WEIGHT: 51kgs
FACTION: Sith Eternal
RANK: Guardian
FORCE SENSITIVITY: YES
APPEARANCE: Paltos may appear to he a human standing only 1.35 meters, but the first mistake any fool makes is believing that short means weak. His heavy brown hair and heavier eyes are a testament to the 40 year old Sith's work and studies into both the Dark Side of the Force, and his work in the guise of a merchant, negotiator, and up-coming-politician. He eschews the primitive cultist robes for a wardrobe that ranges from conservative to lavish depending on the situation. Privately he wears what is comfortable.
PERSONALITY: They say that there are two sides of a coin. For Argyle Paltos that saying is no more clearer. On one side he is a cold, calculating, and pragmatic individual who would both plot your downfall...and your rise to power at the same time. On the other of the coin his a witty, cunning, and humorous man who once you've gained his trust and keep it, will find no better ally than Argyle. He is a man who while bearing the name of a house long forgotten on Serreno, still has noble blood in his veins. This carries with him a sense of responsibility and to a lesser extent an obligation to those without power. Despite his Ruthlessness, he possesses a charming sense of humor and a soft spot for the downtrodden and outcast, something he gained during his time in the streets...
GEAR: While Argyle Paltos has an assortment of gadgets, gizmos, and other items that he uses in his quest for his own personal agenda and the general goal of continuing the Forces Cycle, there are some things he keeps on his person at all times. The first two things are a Communicator (which doubles as a recording device) and a DL-44 Blaster Pistol, which he keeps near his chest at all times in a shoulder holster. He also keeps a wad of cash on him in the event he needs to bribe his way out of a situation, along with various poisons located in innocuous cylinders on his belt. Paltos' most Prized weapon however, located in a harness on his person, is his Sith Light Shoto. Able to call it to his hand with the Force, it is to him his last weapon of resort when Negotiation, Cash, Blackmail, and Threats have all but failed him. And thankfully very rarely has he ever had to use his Lightsaber...
DROID: An RT-Series Pilot Droid, named "Sheev" whose sole purpose is to pilot his ship from one corner of the galaxy to another.
SHIP: Paltos owns a T4-A Lambda Class Shuttle, which he dubs "Mistress Shade" and uses it as his personal transport.
