Azarin Isard is a very young Wookiee of unknown origin whose career has spanned several factions. Like all Wookiees he is unable to speak Basic, and so to interact with the wider galaxy he is escorted by a modified BD-3000 protocol droid named "Tink". The modification created by Azarin was to give Tink a secondary voice distinct from her own, to make it clear when she was translating. This other voice is Azarin's best attempt to make a clear voice which is easy to understand, yet still sounds largely similar to how a Wookiee would sound if their vocal cords allowed them to pronounce basic.

Biography

Little is known about Azarin's early life. He was found at the age of 18 on Kashyyyk by Sheng-ji Yang. After a short time with Cloud City and Blue Sabre Transport, the Galactic Empire committed genocide of Wookiees on Kashyyyk. Oilios Katastrefor convinced him to defect to the Rebel Alliance in order to work for Republic Mining Corporation.

During his time as a Rebel he worked along side others including Jake Azzameen, Alph Virphen, Mandor Bg, Nim Orlan, and Kit Lorcan. These connections lead to a promotion to the leadership of a small information network known as the Shadowbane Syndicate. He was also a civilian assistant on operations Forging Freedom and Stratacator working to held successfully liberate numerous planets from The 12 Colonies, including his home planet of Kashyyyk, which he continues to state as one of his proudest achievements.

When the Rebel Alliance merged with SoroSuub Corporation to make the New Republic, Azarin took a stand against what he claimed was the selling out of Rebel ideals for profit. Most notably, he resisted against dealing with high profile thief Adam A Flynn's attempt to sell the Black Sun trading faction to notorious thief Teniel Djo. This would scupper the Senate's plans to legitimise Black Sun, removing it's criminal heritage and reform it into a company known as "Republic Trading". Alongside others loyal to the Rebel cause, the resisted the dangerous change, but the cost was high. Ingo R. Vailis and Adam A Flynn lead what was to be later known as "The Coup", where they stole much restricted tech, killed undiscriminating, and ultimately fled to take Black Sun back to it's criminal past.

After this disastrous time Azarin invited the refugee Republic Trading's leader Braiden Novalis to merge their operations into the Shadowbane Syndicate's infrastructure, with both companies working together as one. He also sheltered Rekka Deott who along with Azarin were high on Black Sun's wanted list for publicly defying Adam's authority.

As a result of one assignment performed for High Ambassador Jake Azzameen he was awarded the Leadership Award for "dedication and contribution to the advancement of the New Republic".

His old friend Kit Lorcan proposed an opportunity to lead a fledgeling Mercenary outfit for Almar Zamasee, and together they formed the Talost Nightwatch. They immediately became a Private Sector Affiliate of the New Republic.

Around this time he was also unanimously elected to be Governor of the Kashyyyk system, where he increased security and improved the previously war torn and oppressed economies of all planets under his guidance.

These events all sought to increase Azarin's popularity with the general populace, most notably among the former Rebels and the younger Republic officers, and he was elected to the New Republic Senate's fifth session by the second largest number of votes received by any candidate up until that point.

Black Sun released a wanted list, where Azarin was listed for being a "figurehead of anti-Black Sun sentiment and a crusader against us", which Azarin instead wore as a badge of honour. This act almost cost him everything as one of his officers Kli Raan decided to betray him. Fortunately overwhelming evidence released by defectors from the Black Sun family including recordings of private conversations between Azarin and Kli and classified documents from the Talost Nightwatch high command sealed his fate, and he was arrested by Almar Zamasee as a prisoner of the Republic's war on organised crime.

The Talost Nightwatch was involved in numerous operations with various Galactic Alliance governments, and at one point or another during his time he held security authorisation for the New Republic, Falleen Federation, Tresario Star Kingdom, The Antarian Rangers, the Corporate Sector Authority, and the Anzatan Commonwealth. He was known to boast that no other held such wide authority, and claimed it was due to his tight control of operations. The Nightwatch were often fighting alongside allies, without payment. One notable example was to help the Corporate Sector Authority successfully defend territory against Black Sun, where he himself came within minutes of apprehending Magnus Plaga, who taunted him over his close call. This rivalry grew into mutual respect, and even friendship once Magnus later chose to repent his criminal ways and instead oppose the Family who betrayed him.

Azarin Isard personally wrote the death warrant on tyrant Wilhelm von Ismay, wanted by the New Republic, Galactic Alliance, and Jedi Order for various crimes including theft, murder, and war crimes. Although it was unfortunate he could not be captured alive, the removal of such a dangerous criminal was widely appreciated and no charges were filed against Azarin by the New Republic or any Government.

Unfortunately due to personal differences Azarin later resigned from work under Almar Zamasee along with some loyal officers. He made proposals to the New Republic, but they were not willing to offer his relatively unknown officers such lucrative opportunities, and so he lead them to the Anzatan Commonwealth, where the less bureaucratic structure allowed them to each be offered roles worthy of their expertise, including directorships of nationalised organisations.

Azarin has worked within all of the Commonwealth's corporations choosing to be hands on, choosing to lead by example wherever he was needed. Although at first refusing promotion over fears people would feel he is "taking over", he eventually agreed to become the Minister of Commerce.
