BIOGRAPHY
This boisterous, good-natured twi'lek comes from a very large family. He is the middle child of other three brothers and five sisters; truly his mother was a woman of tremendous fortitude. His extended family is even larger, and scattered across Ryloth and other major planets.
Lorne’s career in crime, like many similarly situated “independent contractors” began innocently enough: with complete legality. Lorne worked for a smaller shipping company as a cargo pilot. Usual run of the mill stuff like appliances, parts, metal stock, plasteel pellets bound for a manufacturer somewhere. If there was an industrial application, Lorne probably had carried it in a cargo hold. One of their occasional, but still reliable, customers one day asked if Lorne would be interested in making some extra credits.
Lorne, not one to turn down some extra walking around money, asked what he needed to do. The job was simple, just smuggle a couple boxes of cigars through a port on a planet where they weren’t legal. They were “for a friend” who enjoyed cigars but was faced with the unfortunate fact of living on the wrong planet. Lorne was unperturbed by the fairly mild illegal nature of the act, and agreed to the job. After all, the worst possible outcome was that the cigars got confiscated. Nobody was going to raise a fuss about a single box of smokes.
The job went smoothly enough, and eventually Lorne took on more under-the-table jobs. He was eased into it, only going to more serious contraband when he had little way out. Lorne, while happy to make extra credits, never officially joined the Pykes. He balked at the idea of officially becoming a part of that life. While the goods he smuggled were protected by the Pykes, his life and person were not. It was a balance Lorne could accept. Still, there was no doubt that Pyke control over him was steadily increasing.
On his downtime, Lorne fancies himself as a laid-back type. He is equally comfortable spending time with friends in a bar as he is getting away from it all to go on a hunting trip. It can be hard at time to predict what he will do with his free time as his capacity to be easily bored can get the better of him.
Personality
Cheerful and boyish, he made an odd pairing with the Pyke Syndicate, but perhaps that’s why they kept him as an associate for smuggling runs; his good-nature often disarmed customs officers. Lorne does not seek out a fight as the first solution to every problem. While he will seek to end serious fights quickly, he is a gracious opponent.
He gets bored easily, which is why freighter piloting attracted him. Every cargo, every destination, was a new experience. In smuggling, every pass through a port was exciting as you never knew if the customs officers would be of a particularly excellent quality that day.
Appearance
Since Lorne started smuggling bigger jobs, he has taken to wearing a blast vest under his outer shirt, using the bulk of his duster coat to obscure any bulges or lines that would give it away. Tucked into a custom, concealed sheath under the back of the blast vest is usually a combat vibroknife. The twi'leki dagger, which is a more traditional and acceptable blade to carry in public, usually adorns his belt. Lorne is quite fond of that knife.
