'''Zethos Yarl''' is just a simple man trying to make his way in [[the galaxy|the universe]]. In the past, Zethos has served in the [[Hapes Consortium]] and as a journalist for [[Galaxywide NewsNets]]. As an employee he is insubordinate but very reliable. He is intelligent, cocky, and sarcastic. A superior tactician, he can defend himself in a street fight against several foes. In his spare time, he is often found in a darkened cantina sipping a [[Corellian ale]] and impatiently waiting for a chance to do something great.

==Biography==
Born into an impoverished [[Corellian]] family on [[Nar Shaddaa]], a filthy planet known as "The Smuggler's Moon," Zethos Yarl was the son of a disgraced [[Imperial]] officer whom he only saw but once in his lifetime. Zethos was raised by his simple-minded mother, Alexis, a part-time prostitute who owned a dilapidated hovel and sold various mechanical parts. Zethos has an older brother named [[Yarl|Matthias Yarl]], but Matthias disappeared when Zethos was young to join the [[Rebel Alliance|Rebellion]] and he never learned what became of him.

When Zethos was eighteen years old, his pock-marked mother died due to an infection by neural parasites. Alone and angry at the galaxy, Zethos desired to become a bounty hunter in order to revenge himself upon those numerous criminals who had harassed and violated his mother when he was a child. However, fate had other plans.

In order to leave Nar Shaddaa forever, Zethos booked passage aboard a tramp steamer captained by [[Karl Viemeck|Karl the Wookiee]], an ill-tempered creature with giant fangs. Although the Wookiee greatly disliked foul-smelling Zethos, the hairy beast nevertheless honored their bargain and together they departed the Smuggler's Moon within a week for [[Altyr V]]. The voyage was hazardous one due to an astrographic miscaclulation that resulted in a minor collision with an asteroid. Further trouble ensued when the Wookiee captain strangled to death a [[Nemoidian]] passenger for cheating during a [[Sabacc]] game. Despite these problems, Zethos successfully arrived on Altyr V and, within a week, was approached by smooth-talking recruiters employed by [[Hapes Consortium]].

Shortly thereafter, Zethos joined the [[Hapes Consortium|Hapan Navy]] and was dispatched on several long-range reconnaissance missions in hidden systems. Disillusioned by the bureaucratic ineptitude of Hapes, Zethos resigned his commission after a drunken brawl with a Hapan officer and joined [[Galaxywide NewsNets]] as a field reporter. He eventually became a prospector and, at the moment, leads a hand-to-mouth existence in backwater worlds in the [[Outer Rim]].
