Jasper Merlyn is the head of House Merlyn, an infamous former member of the New Republic, and a galactic businessman.

Childhood

Jasper was left abandoned at a starport on the quiet planet of Rodia, in the depths of Tyrius system. He never knew his parents but the manager took him in and gave him a home until he became of age. The Manager of the starport, a wise intelligent man, who loved playing mental games, thought the only skills worth knowing were how to manage a business and trade, so that is what he instilled in a young Jasper. Jasper kept a pretty basic life style until his eighteenth birthday when he joined the New Republic Armed Forces under the Starfighter Command and became Pilot Officer Merlyn.

New Republic

Almost immediately Jasper realized he found his calling. He was assigned to Centurion Battlegroup, under the command of High Admiral Adam Hughes, General Jin Solas and Wing commander Mami Ogawa. His fame spread throughout the entire rebellion and soon he would find himself award two medals, awarded by a vote of the citizens. The New Republican of the Month and later, New Republican of the Year.

As Jasper grew older, his fame and exploits earned his positions and various departments of the New Republic, ranging from Dean of Recruitment to Deputy of the Military Liaison Office. As time passed, Jasper grew to befriend several life-long friends such as General Darcks Galvan, General Kara Webb, Wing commander Dimitri Halden, and his mentor in the recruitment department Mortis Eisenfaust. They had many laughs together on the whole and enjoyed the success in resisting the Imperial Union. While Jasper was content with his career, he was always inspired in the white collar work that Senator Ghon Webb contributed to the New Republic in the senate. This inspired Jasper to become an attorney for the New Republic, and later a politician.

As Jasper matured into a more influential figure he started to aid John Callaghan, a commodore in the New Republic Navy, during his candidacy for the Senate. Jasper Merlyn worked relentlessly for Commodore Callaghan, and his work paid off. With nearly two to one in the voting polls, Callaghan defeated Mami Ogawa and took office in the New Republic Senate. This played a crucial role in the vote of No Confidence for High Ambassador Grayurra.

On day 248 of year 17, Chief of State Kassan removed Jasper Merlyn from all of his official positions in the New Republic. This was the result of complaints of several other NR members regarding Jasper's personal behavior towards them. Jasper held on and protested the, in his eyes, false accusations, but his formal appeal against this decision was rejected. Jasper Merlyn was terminated from all of his positions within the New Republic.

During this time, Jasper continued to resist the accusations and on his Mission of gathering support from other allies he ran into Kairi Deveraux, a charming and attractive woman who ran the Triumvirate Coalition marines and intelligence division. They hit it off instantly and a year later he was able to brag to the galaxy that she was now Kairi Merlyn.

The wedding ceremony was short and rather impulsive, but he was pleased that it was performed by his good friend Jedi Master Onasha Katr, who was all too happy to give her assistance to the young couple in love. While Jasper was still having a political battle in the New Republic to defend his honor, in her arms nothing seemed to matter.

As time progressed, Kairi gave birth to several children. Callum, Caroline and Rahni Merlyn. Jasper, a loving father, had to leave the children in the care of Kairi while he returned to handle his engagement with the New Republic. As she was not part of the New Republic they had to be away from each other quite often and this made him a poor father, that he would one day come to regret.

Relentless political toil pressed on, and the new Chief of State elections were coming. Endaro Kassan’s term was coming to an end and he had failed to squash Jasper, so he took one last blow. He appointed Phoenix Firewind to Associate Minister of Justice. Phoenix worked with great haste with the rest of the advisory council to ensure that Jasper Merlyn would never defeat the cronyism within. They charged Jasper Merlyn with Treason, Espionage, Grand Theft, Member of a subversive group, Conspiring to release a New Republic Intelligence agents name, blackmail and negligent homicide. Prosecuted by a former class mate of his, Antarah Dhibyani, the trial began.

Corrupted Republic

The trial was organized to fall right before Chief of State elections to ensure he couldn’t get the votes necessary to overthrow the corrupt government and restore the rights of citizen. The Trial went on through the elections, for the elections to end with double the normal turn out falling in Chief of Military Operations Orion Chran favor. There was great outcry from the populace that the election had indeed been rigged, but the new Chief of Military Operations Helix Falks and his corrupt minion Marshal Ogawa used Military Might to subdue any rebellion.

Shortly after Chief of State Chran sworn in, the election was rushed with the verdict. Having offering Magistrate Jericho a position commanding the New Republic’s Navy, he needed his High Admiral off the judge’s bench. A few weeks later, Jasper Merlyn was found guilty on espionage and obstruction of justice, when the presiding Judge, Jahu Skyla, later commented, she stated that the prosecution was a bit unprofessional and messy and it should be dismissed because he was stressed. She also later went on to comment about how there was not substantial evidence to convict Jasper Merlyn of the crimes, but the judges didn’t like his “tone”.

With the verdict being guilty, he was sentenced to seventeen months in a New Republic prison for crimes he did not commit. This form of corruption was the last straw and Jasper dropped his affiliation with the New Republic and declared an open war on the corruption of the advisory council an chief of state. Having been a part of Republic Diplomacy command, New Republic Intelligence, Military Liaison office, Starfighter command, and the New Republic Justice Department, they took no chance when he escaped. Director Hughes immediately sent out word to the Republic’s allies, warning that Jasper Merlyn is a fugitive and is very dangerous. He publicly placed a bounty on Jasper Merlyn for 50,000,000 credits.

While Jasper Merlyn is consider a treasonous fugitive to some, and a hero to others, he fled to meet up with his long departed wife, and to become the family man he always wanted to be, while planning liberating operations for the New Republic and the oppressed citizens.
