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.
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.
Imperial Service
After the murder of the operative, he fled the Corellian sector in case the murder was traced back to him, and did odd jobs in the vicinity of the Tion Cluster. Two years later, he determined that it was time to settle down and try to make an honest living. Unable to find steady work, he joined the Galactic Empire as a soldier, later graduating with honors from the Imperial Academy, and becoming a member of the Imperial Army.
Reaching the rank of Sergeant at an accelerated pace, he became disgusted with the way the Imperials dealt with their citizens, likening it to a criminal line of thinking. He 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.
Present Day
To date, Cael is a moderately-successful freelance transport pilot and commissioned ship painter, as well as having an extensive number of contacts he has cultivated over the years.
