SKILLS
Having received a degree in marketing and computer science from the University of Coruscant, it’s no wonder that Florence fits in quite well with the Hutts on Nar Shaddaa. Possessing a vicious business acumen and a silver tongue, Florence is quite adroit when it comes to manipulating others. Should his coy nature fail him, the young man has proven to be capable of obtaining his objective through other means, ranging from seduction to intimidation to infiltration.
While his range of contacts grows, Florence, acting as an agent for the Hutt Cartel, has proven to be capable of handling himself. Like most cartel members, Florence was trained in the use of blasters and in melee combat. While no deadeye, he is capable of aiming straight and hitting his target, in addition to being competent with wielding a vibroknife. Despite this, while toned with muscle, Florence lacks the strength of someone more accustomed to melee fighting and instead sacrifices some strength for improved speed. Because of this, Florence’s true talent is in moving unseen until it’s too late.
In addition to this, because of his need to infiltrate places, Florence has picked up on basic slicing. By no means a codebreaker, he is capable of using the technology to get him where he needs to be in order to obtain what he’s looking for, in nothing else.

PERSONALITY
Deceitful, conniving, and painfully charismatic, Florence’s only true loyalty is to himself. He’s a liar, a cheat, and a thief, but if you were to meet him by chance, you very may mistake him to be one of the nicest of people. Florence judges his “friends” by their worth; that is to say, how much of an asset they could be. He’s a fan of calling in favors, especially if he has something to gain from it. Because of this, he’s been known to aid others himself, so long as it means he’ll benefit from their help in his own ventures.
Having grown up rather wealthy on Coruscant, Florence has picked up an extensive vocabulary and often results to flattery to get his way. Many people may consider him a friend, but there are few that he would actually go out of his way for. He is a man of convenience, a socialite, and a crafty business partner all disguised behind a thick veil of gentility. Skilled in driving sales and advertisement, Florence is an adroit carouser, capable of putting on the grandest of parties. He’s a fan of the finer things of life, provided his paranoia doesn’t get the better of him.
Knowing how to navigate the most dangerous of social stratospheres, Florence is most at home when it comes to make deals. That said, he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty – something that he often does for the Cartel. When one can’t find him living his life to the fullest on Nar Shaddaa’s rooftops, they can often find him skittering through the planet’s slums in such of blackmail.

BIOGRAPHY
Born on Coruscant to a wealthy father and mother, Florence was groomed, in every sense of the word, to become a businessman of his own. Fawned over and doted on by his parents, he spent much of his young life attending the best of private schools, supervised by strict teachers and administrators. As a child, he was taught by his parents to be the epitome of a well-behaved spawn and shown off to their friends like he was champion livestock. Their pride and joy, they called him. Florence was quick to learn that anything less than perfection in their eyes wasn’t good enough.
As a teenager, Florence picked up a blaster, coached by his father who insisted that he learned enough about firearms to protect himself. As an administrator for an arms supplier, it seemed natural that Florence’s father taught him. It wasn’t long before he became rather adroit at it, much to his parents’ delight. For the rest of his time in private schools, he focused primarily on his studies. The friends he made throughout school were superficial at best, mostly the children of his parents’ acquaintances. To him, they were boring – everyone at the school, as he saw it, was being groomed in their parents’ ideal mold so that when they were adults, they would be nothing more than clones, slaves to the highlife and some sort of industry.
When he was old enough to attend the University of Coruscant, he found a new sense of independence. With his parents on the other side of the world, he was left to experiment, to tinker, to explore life. The college life put him in touch with the more seedier sorts, and it wasn’t long until he was thankful for his father showing him how to make use of a blaster. The gangsters on Coruscant, however, intrigued them. While they conducted business, however illegitimate it was, it drew far more profit than anything he had thought of. Between classes, Florence learned about the effects of spice, and more importantly, how to drive a profit from selling it.
When he graduated, Florence’s parents urged him to stay on Coruscant, but he had different plans. Having heard of the power of the growing Hutt Cartel, he set his sights on Nar Shaddaa. Within a few months, he made the migration, working as administration for one of the larger casinos on the moon. He was skilled in what he did, able to pick out winners and report them to the higher ups to be mugged afterwards or caught for “cheating.”
His skill peaked the interest of one of the members of the Hutt clans’ who sent one of their lieutenants to speak with him. It wasn’t long before he was on the Cartel’s payroll, bartering with their enemies, negotiating with business partners, and seducing wealthy businessmen to garner blackmail on them. As the months passed by, he found himself in the middle of blaster fire and using his systems knowledge to gain access to places that he shouldn’t have been.
Crime, as he saw it, was the most profitable business in the world. Credits empowered him, and it wasn’t long before he became an agent of the Cartel, carrying out their wishes, so long as he got paid.

INVENTORY
Florence, first and foremost, knows how to get into places that he shouldn’t be. He usually keeps a datapad with him, along with a security tunneler, port scanner, data vault, and computer spikes. When it comes to weaponry, Florence keeps a BP12 blaster pistol and vibroknife on him. For now, he is without armor, though he did manage to acquire a Z-13 Light Freighter.
