HK-24 was a HK-24 series assassin droid, that was active during the period of galactic history known as the 'Force Eternal' era. A cruel droid produced and constructed by Czerka Corporation and thereafter used as a bounty hunting droid by the Bounty Hunters Guild, HK-24 made quite the killing for his masters before he returned from a job one day to discover his handler had been killed.
Unaware of the nature of the assailant and equally unaware of what to do without a handler, he returned to his point of origin and put himself in storage. A few years later, following the closure of the storage depot, he was sold as a protocol unit, and ended up in a droid store on the trading station known as 'The Wheel'.
Zaa Fenn
HKs fate was to take a bizarre turn with his purchase by the human female Kara Lok of the Zaa Fenn crime family. For several years he worked for the criminal, assisting her and her employers in expanding their enterprises across Coruscant and other planets.
However, the good times soon came to and end when Kara disappeared without a trace - never informing HK of her whereabouts, leaving the droid once again without a master to command him. Without direction, he headed back into the stars, searching for a new purpose.
Personality & Traits
Programmed with masculine voice protocols, HK-24 has a cold, sociopathic personality. It appears to take considerable enjoyment from death and destruction, reacting with glee when his work causes collateral damage. Despite this, he has a great degree of professionalism with his work, dedicated to completing his task, even if it means he does not get to have his destructive fun.
Once programmed to a master, HK-24 shows complete and total loyalty to that individual, with the only command he cannot follow being one to carry out his destruction. Despite this, however, he is prone to displaying signs of irritation with his master. Considered a prideful being, he thinks of himself as above others, except maybe his master - who he considers the only tolerable organic.
A very violent being, HK-24 relishes working out new and inventive ways to harm, main, or kill his enemies. He is prone to letting people know of his proposed extermination methods.
Skills & Abilities
An exceptionally talented assassin, HK-24 is a dangerous opponent, able to fight stealthily or in open and direct combat. He is skilled with a range of weapons, such as blasters and other droid weapons. Despite his range of skills, he has a sweet spot for carbines and rifles and frequently develops almost affectionate connections to his preferred weapons.
Adaptive, he learns from combat situations, and stores new learned tactics for a later date, indeed - HK-24 claims that he is like a fine wine, in that he gets better with age.
Thanks to his programming, he can speak most mainstream languages and has good knowledge of demolitions and slicing, two skills that he relies on to complete his work. He cannot fly a ship, as he has never really had a need to - however is very talented at bullying others into doing it for him.
