Jorka Irway, (known as 'Boss Irway') was a male politician, who served as a businessman and political boss of the resort city of Canto Bight during the Force Eternal period of galactic history. Growing up in a political family, his father was elected one of the cities Councilmen and provided easy access to the city political machine, where he worked as an assistant to one of the local ward bosses for his father's seat. By age 14, Jorka was expelled from school due to poor performance and worse behaviour and took a job working as a stable boy in a Fathier den, much to his fathers dislike.
He was however spotted by the local ward chief and bought in to help drum up votes during the election in the 42nd ward, which he called home. By the time he was in his early twenties, Jorka was appointed 'Committee Secretary' for the party across Canto Bight, a powerful position that enabled him to expand his influence across the cities business and political class.
Not one to stay idle for long, Jorka invested his hard-earned cash into one of the most well-connected businesses on Cantonica, the sport of Fathier Racing. Purchasing himself a small operation for the breeding of thoroughbred racers, he entered into a partnership with Casino owner Maxim Dwyer. Three years after beginning operations, his Fathier Lucky Stripe was to come first in the Cantonic Grand open, the jockey and stud being funded by the Mayor of the city itself.
Refusing to waste such an opportunity when it presented itself, Jorka took the opportunity to run put himself forward for Canto City Treasurer, running alongside the Mayor. By the time he was in his late thirties, he held the position, for one term, enabling him to expand his influence in City Hall, before the incumbent Mayor announced his intention to step down at the next election.
Standing up a candidate in his place, Jorka led the political machine to position the new Mayor into their office, and kept his eyes on expanding his machine further still.

Personality & Traits
Despite being a player in one of the flashiest industries around, Jorka was something of an introvert. Disliking crowded places, some went as far to describe him as socially awkward and stand-offish, thanks in part to his meticulous mindset, which often meant that he stuck doggedly to a planned routine, and did not like seeing it changed. Despite this, he was capable of being a persuasive and even charismatic individual.
As a good reader of peoples character, he could find the drivers in people with ease, and use them to his own advantage if needed. Polite to a fault, he abhorred bad manners and bad etiquette, and was always smartly dressed and well presented, regardless of who he was dealing with. He expected such manners in return and had a violent hair-trigger temper, that would sometimes come to the fore if people acted in a rude or disrespectful manner.
Jorka was a physically ordinary male, with his modest frame enabling him to escape trouble when it reared its head. Capable of landing a compelling punch, he was nonetheless a cumbersome mover and was more than happy to let others fight for him (and paid well for such services). He could speak basic and old Correllian, as well as understand Huttese, and was capable with a pistol.
Assets
Jorka is a consummate Cantonic businessman, with the latest speeder, the finest clothes, and of course - no open carry weapons. He always carries a concealed blaster, hidden in his jacket. Aside from this, he makes use of a commlink and datapad. He is the proud owner of a small fathier racing team, which he frequently makes bets on and attends the races with.
