Cael Arcturus Graigan, a Corellian born on Day 30 Year -28, is a freelancer and expatriated Imperial soldier. Raised with a sense of morality that can only be theorized as a shade of gray, he seeks to keep himself and his own safe, by any means necessary.
 
 
==Biography==
 
 
===Early Years===
 
 
Brought up in an overly-protective upper-class environment, Cael escaped childhood and adolescence with little issue. His parents were wealthy business owners, built on a foundation of code violations and (quite literally) skeletons in their closet, and Cael was the only heir. Knowing that their past may one day return to haunt them, they made sure their only heir was protected and taught self-defense, a skill that would serve his later career as a soldier.
 
 
He then joined the company at age 15 as a member of the board of directors, something that the rest of the chairmen disapproved of. However, Cael's economic prowess began to show itself, and chose to step down from the board to lead another department.
 
 
===Hammerfall===
 
 
At age 21, he had nearly taken over the business as a whole, with sales incrementally increasing every quarter. All was an apparent success, until his father unexpectedly died of a heart attack during a business summit on Coruscant. When this occurred, stocks fell astronomically, leaving the company utterly worthless as stockholders continued to bail and sell everything. After his father's funeral, the lawyer charged with being executor only gave Cael a single word, given in confidence by his father: Hammerfall.
 
 
"Hammerfall" ultimately was the password to his father's terminal, enabling a different user interface from the one Cael was used to seeing. Within it, a hologram of his father was projected, explaining that if he had been given the word, it was under the pretenses of unnatural causes of his death. His father's recording continued to tell the tale of how he founded the company on the backs of assorted criminal empires, and that they had an infiltrator on the board of directors, who would likely be the one responsible for his death. These various crime syndicates turned on the Graigan family, as their tribute was due. Instead of paying up like they always had, they began hiring bounty hunters to silence any opposition. However, knowing one of th
 
 
Not speaking to his mother for her unwillingness to tell him the truth after these revelations, Cael discovered that one of the executives was a high-level member of a Corellian crime syndicate. Tracking him to an alleyway in the lower cities, he confronted and murdered him, leaving aboard his personal YT-1300 for parts unknown.
 
 
==Hard Liquor; Hard Times==
 
 
At this point in his life, Cael was desperate. Desperate enough to fall into the employment of a low-tier crime family in the [[Tion Cluster]]. This particular organization utilized a coded system to hide the nature of certain sections using the suits from the antiquated 52 deck of cards. Suits designated positions, while numbered (Ace, Queen, 9, etc) classified ranks. Spades were hitmen, Clubs were the "shake-down" crew, Hearts were bodyguards, and Diamonds, the classification Cael fell into, were smugglers. He bares a tattoo of a red diamond on the underside of his right wrist because of this.
 
 
While he disagreed with their methods, he became a successful gunrunner, and rose in the ranks quickly, to Jack of Diamonds, putting him in the inner circle.

Reaching the rank of Sergeant at an accelerated pace, he became disgusted with the way the Imperials dealt with their citizens, likening it to an almost criminal line of thinking. During this time of doubt, he was arrested and detained by Imperial Intelligence for a crime did not commit. Ultimately exonerated from all chargers after presenting evidence that proved his innocence, the idea to ditch the Empire entirely grew more and more tempting as the days went by. Ultimately, he gave in, arranged for a ship to be left at his next patrol point, and then fled the Empire, AWOL and expatriated, to become a freelancer once more.

His Imperial psychological evaluation profiles him as ''"while most certainly chaotic in his methods, he is cold and calculated in his premeditation. He is straightforward, forthcoming, and honest; something unlike most that come through my door, but cold and battered. However, by my estimates and the evaluation tables put in place by the Academy, he is stable enough to serve and be effective"''.

In year 13, Cael would go on to open his own liquor company, the Corellian Alcoholic Enablers League (aka [[C.A.E.L.]]).  The company went on to be very successful and would experience times of excess demand.  C.A.E.L. would close for the last time shortly before it's owners death.

— Cael Graigan


Cael Graigan, the only son of Belenus and Anacea Graigan, was born on day 22 of year -32, in the waning years of the Galactic Republic.

His father, Belenus, was an officer in the Republic Navy at the time of the Clone Wars. The steady pay he sent home kept the family afloat. His mother, a painter by night and cantina waitress by day, brought in little but tips and sexual harassment from patrons. They managed to have a decent living, and Cael grew up without the usual cliches.

His father finally retired at the end of the Clone Wars, and his mother became moderately successful as a painter, quitting her cantina job. They ultimately ended up opening two small businesses, one a gallery for Anacea's work, and the second, a small transportation service that would ferry customers around the Corellian sector. The stable income from each allowed Cael to attend a private school, where he received a classical education in numerous fields.

Possessing an almost-genius IQ, Cael excelled in his courses and graduated two years ahead of his peers, allowing him to work for the family's business interests. Cael then began flying freighters, back and forth, for these businesses. He learned most of the tricks of piloting from this experience.

In year 13, Cael would go on to open his own liquor company, the Corellian Alcoholic Enablers League (aka C.A.E.L.). The company went on to be very successful and would experience times of excess demand. C.A.E.L. would close for the last time shortly before it's owners death.
