'''Camaris sa Vinitta''', also known as '''Sicyon''', is a [[Anzati]] [[:Category:Males|male]] and a former ruler of the [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]] circa [[Year 6]].
'''Camaris sa Vinitta''', also known as '''Sicyon''', is a [[Anzati]] [[:Category:Males|male]]. He is historically notable for serving as the Prime Minister of the [[New Anzat Order]] circa [[Year 4]] and, later, as the Dark Prince of the [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]] in [[Year 6]].


==Biography==
==Biography==
Camaris sa Vinitta was born on Denevar I. He is the son of Isgrimnur and Alice sa Vinitta. He is named after his great great grandfather, a man who lived many years ago. This Camaris had been a brave warrior who lived in the days of the Great Wars in the Denevar system. His bravery and valour in combat had earned him a noble title and some land on Denevar I. He was made Baron by the ruling family of that period. From that time onwards the sa Vinitta family had grown in importance and had been a constant factor on Denevar I. As ruling families came and went, the sa Vinitta family kept their land and titles. Camaris the elder had been a very wise man and a very capable pater familias. He took very good care of the land that was entrusted to him and many people flocked to the cities on his land. He quickly became one of the wealthiest men of the planet. He had the foresight to arrange various marriages between his family and almost all of the other important families on Denevar I. There was none of them who remained unrelated to his family and as such his family’s stability was ensured.
===Youth on Denevar===
Camaris sa Vinitta was born on [[Denevar I]]. He is the son of Isgrimnur and Alyss sa Vinitta. He is named after his great-great-grandsire. This Camaris had been an adventurer in the days when the interstellar space drive was first used by the Denevar civilization. His valorous feats had earned him a noble title and a land allotment on Denevar I. He was given a baronage by the ruling dynasty of that period and the sa Vinitta clan soon prospered. While the ruling dynasties rose and fell with the bloody tides of history, the sa Vinitta clan retained their prized lands and hereditary titles. Camaris the Elder had been a natural leader &mdash; intelligent, forceful, and capable. As the ''paterfamilias'' of the sa Vinitta clan, he carefully stewarded the lands entrusted to him, and many commoners flocked to his spaceports. He became one of the wealthiest barons on the planet. He had the foresight to commingle his bloodline with other space-faring clans on Denevar I and, as such, his clan's longevity was ensured.
 
When Camaris the Elder died however, his steady hand and grand vision were dearly missed. Soon enough the sa Vinitta clan was little more than haughty nobles and arrogant weaklings. Greedy mistresses and lavish feasts were all too common. It was only thanks to Camaris policy of arranged unions that the clan held on to its possessions. It was his vision that still kept their clan's holdings intact.
 
Around this time, Camaris the Younger was born. He grew up unaware that he was anything special and felt like any other boy on the planet. Much to the disapproval of his parents, he refused to take private lessons and was educated like most youths on Denevar I. He grew further apart from his family's antiquated customs and supercilious attitudes. Like the ancestor after whom he was named, he longed to be an adventurer and to embark upon an inter-solar voyage for fortune and glory. His family resented his lack of ambition. He was shunned by his parents during his academy training and mocked by his relatives. At family gatherings, he stood out with his egalitarian mindset and his unique outlook towards life.


As Camaris the elder died however, his leading hand and good vision were dearly missed. Soon enough the family consisted of nothing more but snobbish nobles and arrogant offspring. The greedy “friends” and lavish parties were all too common. It was only thanks to Camaris policy of arranged marriages that the family held on to its possessions. It was his wealth that still kept the family intact.
===Offworld Adventures===
At twenty-one solar years, Camaris was rapidly approaching the age when sa Vinitta males were forced into an arranged marriage. He had no intention of wedding a fat bride with chafing thighs. He promptly gathered his belongings and utilized a contraband HoloNet terminal to search for employment somewhere far, far away from his native world. Fortuitously, [[Galactic Salvage Incorporated]] (GSI) needed personnel for a large-scale operation at an undisclosed location, and Camaris was hired to command a [[Class VI Bulk Freighter]] for this colossal undertaking.


It was around this time that Camaris (the younger) was born. He grew up without the notion that he was anything special. He felt like every other boy in town and was very kind towards everyone. Much to the dislike of his parents he refused to take any private lessons. He was educated like most other boys on Denevar I and he grew further apart from his family’s snobbish customs and arrogant attitudes. Just like his great great grandfather after who he was named, he wanted to be a warrior and fight the right battles for the right cause. This didn’t go down well with the family and he soon became an outcast, separated from his parents during most of his warrior training and mocked by his brothers and cousins. On family reunions he stood out in his warrior armour and with his military approach towards things.
Prior to the operation, however, Camaris had to wait on [[Tanaab]] for his bulk freighter and its motley crew to arrive. He idled away the hours in an unsanitary tavern called "The Underground." It was one of the only establishments where they served [[Gamorrean Grog]] and its nightly happenings included vibro-axe brawls, blaster fights, and other violent showdowns. When he first entered the dimly-lit tavern, the interior had been devastated by the powerful blast of a thermite bomb directed at one of the patrons. Camaris was told the target survived but lost her two unborn children because of it.
[[Image:Tara Tylger Avatar.png|150px|thumb|right|[[Tara Tylger]]]]
One evening at this tavern, Camaris witnessed a walloping fight involving a huge, mucilaginous [[Hutt]] known as [[Hutt Council|Kavvel]]. The Hutt had wrecked the turbolift with his spasmodic tail and provoked an uproar. A glow-lamp was overturned, and the tavern plunged into chaos. A thermal detonator was hurled by an unseen hand and quite a few bystanders ended up... ''underground''. While helping the injured patrons, Camaris encountered a doctor called [[Ranofer Zedlav]]. Together, they aided two women harmed in the melee with the Hutt. They repulsor-lifted the women to ''The Running Jackal'', a nearby starship owned by [[Tara Tylger]] whom Camaris later learned was the target of the bomb attack. The treatment of the two women proved to be a failure as the patients were violently uncooperative. After Camaris was bitten by [[Xya Howie|the woman called Xya]], she knocked him unconscious with a terrific kick to his jaw.


At the age of 21 it became clear to him that he was rapidly approaching the age at which most sa Vinitta males were forced into an arranged marriage. He had absolutely no intention to settle down this soon with a bride he had no intention of spending the rest of his life with. He quickly gathered his belongings and used his family’s good name to quickly get a job somewhere that would allow him to get far away from home. [[Galactic Salvage Inc]] needed extra personnel for a big salvage operation at an undisclosed location and Camaris was hired to command a bulk freighter during this mission.
This hostile encounter with ungrateful, sharp-toothed femme-fatales traumatized Camaris for many sleepless nights. His perception of the galaxy and its peculiar life-forms was forever altered. Whether this psychological reaction was due to neural parasites transmitted via the painful bite, he did not know. But, from that point onward, he trusted others less. He never went anywhere without his [[DL-44|DL-44 blaster pistol]], and he kept his own counsel. He was more introverted and recalcitrant. Strangely, he noticed that his new unprying demeanor was appreciated on some rare occasions.


He had to spend a short transition period on some planet to wait for his crew and his bulk freighter to arrive. He spent most of his hours in a bar called the Underground. It was one of the only bars where they served decent drinks but it had quite a few less pleasant features also. When he first arrived the bar was in terrible shape as it had just been devastated by a bomb attack directed at one of the regulars there. Camaris was told that the target survived but lost her two unborn children because of it. Furthermore the bar was the scenery for daily brawls, gunfights and other violent showdowns. One night, Camaris witnessed a massive gunfight caused by a huge female hutt who had wrecked the elevator and had caused uproar. Soon enough the whole bar was shooting and quite a few people ended up wounded. Camaris had quite a bit of medical background and being the nice and helpful young man that he was, offered his aide to give medical care to some of them. He followed another doctor who he knew by the name of [[Ranofer Zedlav]] and they worked together to take care of two women, injured in the fight with the hutt. The women were brought to the Running Jackal, the ship of [[Tara Tylger]], who Camaris later found out had been the target of the bomb attack. The treatment however didn’t exactly go as planned. The patients weren’t very cooperative and after getting bitten by a lady people used to call Xya, the second patient who was at the time referred to as Air stunned both doctors. This very unpleasant experience haunted Camaris for a couple days as his vision of the world and the people living in it had been destroyed. He had to alter his view on life and from that point onward became much more introvert and started trusting more on his experience as a warrior. From that point onward he never went anywhere without his blaster and mainly kept to himself. He had changed his view on life but had kept his attitude towards it unchanged. He was more reluctant to be friendly from then on but had noticed that in some rare occasions it was appreciated.
===Skulls in the Stars===
For the next several years, he served in [[Galactic Salvage Incorporated]]. The company was under the auspices of [[Tycho Celchu]], a [[Corellian|Corellian entrepreneur]]. Celchu employed a diverse array of alien personnel. Celchu placed Camaris in charge of a sizable armada of bulk freighters and instructed him to salvage a military convoy destroyed in a space-battle at [[Obroa Skai]]. Camaris was confronted with the unexpected burden of command. His inexperience was resented by his subordinates, and his orders were ignored. Hours were wasted arguing until Camaris physically asserted his authority.


===Mission 1: Congested Salvage===
After this mission, GSI dispatched Camaris to investigate legends of a treasure-fleet in the [[Cron Drift]]. Piloting a [[YV-666|YV-666 scout-ship]], he discovered the legends were true: A [[Super Star Destroyer]] lay adrift in this dangerous briar-patch of space. Unfortunately for Camaris, there were other scavengers interested in the treasure-fleet. Among the scavengers were Dark Prince [[Plojo Rosom]] of the [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]] and his peroxide-blonde bodyguard [[Tara Tylger]]. They chose to join forces with Camaris and to explore the titanic space vessel together in an attempt to unlock its mysteries.
[[Galactic Salvage Incorporated]] recently had a change of ownership. The company came under the leadership of [[Tycho Celchu]]. Soon enough his great plans for the company began to take form and great salvage missions were bound to start at any time. A great number of new people were hired and mission ‘Congested Salvage’ was a first for both the company and most of the employees. At Obroa Skai a very destructive battle took place during which an unknown fleet destroyed nearly all the ships in the system. GSI was heading over there with quite a few bulk freighters to salvage the remains. Camaris was put in command of a bulk freighter and was confronted with the burdens of command for the first time. His friendly nature and lack of a role model caused for problems there. He took a friendly approach and he didn’t establish the fact that he was the boss. This almost cost him his life as his ship got into some trouble and orders were ignored and time was wasted arguing. It was a good learning experience for Camaris. Further details remain private.
Camaris, Plojo, and Tara entered the Super Star Destroyer through triple airlocks. They explored the vast 15,000 meter-long cylindrical interior, but the original mission of the derelict destroyer &mdash; as well as the location of its fabled treasures &mdash; remained unknown to them. Slowly, the explorers realized something was drastically wrong. For reasons beyond their comprehension, a rift had occurred in the space-time continuum within the vessel. Warping through time, they discovered a portal that led to parallel dimensions of infinite possibilities. To add to this mystery, disembodied voices terrorized them.
[[Image:Malakai Brooks Alternate Portrait.png|150px|thumb|right|[[Malakai Brooks]]]]
During this mind-bending encounter aboard the derelict vessel, Camaris underwent an abominable metamorphosis. The precise details are unclear to him as he was rendered unconscious. Vague memories of  nightmarish monstrosities came to him during his sleep. He awoke in a sinister cairn on a fog-shrouded planet. Two tentacle-like proboscises had sprouted from his cheeks. He was tended by an old troglodyte with gleaming red eyes. He felt an odd sensation of ''thirst'' and craved to feed upon the troglodyte's brains. The old man was Camaris' first "soup." It was then Camaris realized he had transformed into an ''[[Anzati]]'', a near-human alien who preyed upon weaker life-forms. The Anzati were a long-lived species possessing regenerative capabilities beyond those of humans. They were also telepathic, allowing them to dominate someone's mind to give them a chance to feed.


===Mission 2: To whom it may concern===
By this time, Camaris' impatient employers at [[Galactic Salvage Inc.|Galactic Salvage]] hadn't received word from him in ages. He had been classified as missing-in-action. Ashamed at his new form and having nowhere to turn, he traveled the [[Perlemian Trade Route]] to the [[Anzat_(Planet)|Anzati homeworld]] in a desperate search for answers. The legendary planet held an eerily magnetic attraction for him. When he arrived at its gothic capital of Nova Anzatia, he was granted a formal audience by Prime Minister [[Malakai Brooks]] of the [[New Anzat Order]].
There were urban legends of a fleet of the dead and GSI decided that they would send a scout to verify what was true of it. Camaris requested to be send out with a YV666 to check it out and report. When he arrived he found out that the fleet definitely was real. There was an SSD wreck and various other abandoned ships floating around. Unfortunately for him there were other people present who seemed to have an equal interest in the fleet. Among them were Prince [[Plojo Rosom]] and bodyguard [[Tara Tylger]]. As soon as the merry band of heroes boarded the SSD it became clear that something was amiss. For reasons beyond anybody’s understanding, time-space was warped. Randomly skipping on the timeline, they discovered that a door could lead to different rooms, depending on the moment on which you opened it. To add to the fun, the ship seemed to have a phantom crew. Creatures, ghosts and voice crept up on the adventurers. It was during this mission that Camaris underwent an abominable transformation. The details are unclear to him and he remembers very little about what went on aboard the SSD. Vague memories come to him during his sleep about the time jumps and some of the other people he met there. His memories pick up again when he woke up in some outhouse on some backwater planet where he was being taken care of by some old man. Or was he being guarded? His first sensation was that of thirst and in his comatose condition, he already planned the old man’s demise. He was Camaris’ first soup. Camaris woke up an [[Anzat]]i.


Galactic Salvage Inc hadn’t heard from him for ages and he had been listed as MIA. Ashamed for what he had become and having nowhere to turn, he headed for the anzati home planet, Anzat. The desert planet had a strange attraction and when he arrived, he was taken in by the then Prime Minister of the [[New Anzat Order]], [[Malakai Brooks]]. Malakai saw in him an extraordinary leader for the anzati army he was assembling for an assault on a heathen colony. It would bring confidence to Camaris and a deep respect for his new form. He came in contact with the anzati race and its culture, something that soothed the pain of the rupture with his past. As Malakai and Camaris grew closer during the weeks of preparation leading up to the assault, Camaris was tutored to become a leader and would soon grow into his new role.
As their conversation unfolded, Malakai sensed in Camaris a raw talent for command. Malakai startlingly offered the position of Commander of the Army to Camaris. This unexpected appointment instilled confidence in him. As weeks passed, he studied the Anzati culture and gained a deep respect for his new Anzati form, a respect that soothed the rupture with his distant past on Denevar I. Malakai and Camaris grew closer during the logistical preparation for a surprise attack on a heathen colony, and Camaris was mentored by Malakai to become a leader.


===Mission 3: All you can eat===
===All You Can Eat===
After the first regulator boots set foot on colony ground, Camaris and his loyal brothers in arms quickly swept through the first buildings, clearing them at a devastating pace. Thanks to a strategically planned assault and a superiorly trained and equipped force the local militia was quickly defeated. Driving the citizens together in the main square at the foot of the only high rise in the city, Camaris’ troops showed their efficiency and loyalty. Prime Minister Brooks had landed by that time and escorted by Camaris and his most elite regulators, he made his way to the top of the high rise where the colony’s governor and family were hiding out. Admitting his defeat, the governor handed over the key to the city. What followed was a horrible scene of anzati mass feeding. Initiated by Malakai and Camaris who together ate the governor, his family and the other members of the city’s council present atop the high rise, the Anzati army left none of the colonists in the square alive.
When the hour of battle finally arrived, Camaris and his jackbooted shock-troops &mdash; "the regulators" &mdash; swept through the colony at a devastating pace. Thanks to superior tactics and superior equipment, the Anzati force annihilated the colonial militia. Driving the remaining combatants into the city square at the base of a monolithic skyscraper, Camaris' shock-troops displayed their ruthless efficiency. When Prime Minister Malakai landed in his [[Lambda Shuttle]], he was escorted by Camaris and his regulators to the roof of the high-rise where the colony's governor and family were hiding. Conceding defeat, the frightened governor surrendered and placed his life in Malakai's hands. What followed was a grotesque spectacle of Anzati mass-feeding. Together, Malakai and Camaris devoured the governor and his offspring atop the high-rise, while their marauding Anzati troops left none of the colonists in the square alive.

After this most successful mission for the anzatan nation, Camaris drifted away. Losing contact with most of the things involving NAO, he wandered around [[the galaxy]] from one feeding to the next. It was in this period that he changed his appearance. He painted his face grey and yellow and on his front a red circle drew all attention away from his anzati features. His hair turned white and few would recognize the old Camaris at this point. Then finally, Malakai Brooks found him again. By that time he had stepped down as Prime Minister and was now looking after the anzatan industry sector. Investing his own fortune he had founded a mining corporation that was in need of a CEO. Camaris was pushed into the position and with growing enthusiasm formed the basics for this promising Offworld Mining Company. It was at this time that he got in contact with the anzati female [[Ann-Yael Antaria]] who soon became his second in command in the company. After serious trouble with the NAO government due to a crazy power-hungry Prime Minister ([[Perrin Wolfstar]]) there was a fallout between OMC members. Brooks decided to take control over the company and Camaris decided to step away from all that involved NAO. The government was getting into serious trouble with its assault on [[Nikklon Mining]] and Camaris refused to get involved.
After this brutal campaign for the Anzatan nation, Camaris felt listless. He took a leave of absence from the Anzatan regime and wandered the cosmos. His appearance drastically altered. His face was painted grey and, on his forehead, a red circle was drawn. Few recognized Camaris at this point.  


Falling back on the one thing he had learned to do best by that time, he became a hunter. At first he merely hunted for soup but as the occasion rose, he had an opportunity to combine pleasure and business. He became a bounty hunter for [[Dark Vengeance]], a young group of bounty hunters lead by the infamous [[Xanathar Branwen]]. Proving his worth as a naturally born hunter he quickly rose in the ranks and soon became Xanathar’s second in command.
When Malakai retired as Prime Minister, he tracked down the elusive Camaris. Malakai had founded [[Offworld Mining Company]] (OMC) to bolster the Anzatan industrial sector and was in need of a Chief Executive Officer. He offered the position to Camaris who accepted with trepidation. While recruiting for the company, Camaris met an [[Anzati]] temptress named [[Ann Yael-Antaria]] &mdash; the long-suffering mate of the famously-endowed, rage-prone [[Wookiee]] [[Choibacco Antaria]]. Ann Yael was appointed by Camaris as his second-in-command and personal assistant. Whether or not the close interaction between Camaris and Ann Yael aboard cramped freighters led to a sexual liaison is unknown.  


===Mission 4: The pig gets it===
Due to internal squabbles in the Anzatan regime caused by the dictatorial, power-hungry Prime Minister [[Perrin Wolfstar]], there was a political schism among OMC personnel. Malakai took control of OMC and Camaris retreated into solitude. Disinterested in the ongoing Anzati disputes with [[Nikklon Mining Incorporated]], Camaris instead enlisted as "a bounty killer" for [[Dark Vengeance]], a shadowy brotherhood of assassins led by the ill-famed [[Xanathar Branwen]]. Camaris used his hunting assignments to slake his hunger for brains &mdash; ''soup''. Repeatedly proving his mettle, he ascended the brotherhood's hierarchy to become Branwen's trusted second-in-command.
In a perfect cooperation between Dark Vengeance (Camaris) and Hapan Police ([[Mosep Chitose]]) a criminal was apprehended and eliminated. The [[Galactic Empire]] had put out a bounty on the head of [[Hovstad Stockmann]], a gamorean who had defected from their ranks. Further details of his criminal records are irrelevant. The importance of this bounty-hunting mission is the growing importance of Camaris within the Dark Vengeance group. Making vital contacts within government agencies and showing the galaxy that they could efficiently bring justice to criminals.


After a couple months of happy hunting, destiny poked its filthy little head out again. A mission was set up to capture the well-known pirate [[Teniel Djo]], rumoured daughter of [[Keir Santage]]. Or at least that’s what Camaris believed. He would be the one capturing and killing her. Instead, in an amazing twist of fate, Xanathar backstabbed the group and his second in command, by accepting money from Teniel to kill the bait instead of the real target, herself. The bait in this case had been [[Imperial]] [[Moff]] [[Victor von Ismay]] who somehow had managed to get stranded on the wrong ship. In the end Dark Vengeance ended up prosecuted by the Galactic Empire, Moff von Ismay ended up dead, Xanathar ended up a lot richer and Teniel once more escaped destiny by an inch. Camaris chased Xanathar from the group and changed its name to the [[Bounty Hunters Guild]], taking over full leadership. So far the problems with GE haven’t been mended, Xanathar is still rooming the galaxy. Camaris has been seen in the presence of Malakai Brooks once more and has started frequenting the Underground again. This bar is a vital place to be for a bounty hunter. The information one can gain there is invaluable. A lot of criminal activities take place there.
===The Thrill of the Hunt===
Xanathar Branwen's Dark Vengeance collective often conspired with [[Mosep Chitose]]'s Hapan Security Forces and other government agencies to apprehend and disintegrate known outlaws. Such missions were highly crucial to Dark Vengeance's external reputation as they demonstrated that bounty hunters could successfully capture fugitives who had escaped retribution by the law. In one instance, the [[Galactic Empire]] placed a bounty on the porcine head of [[Hovstad Stockmann]], an unusually-intelligent [[Gamorrean]] mercenary who had defected from their ranks. Camaris was commissioned to find the elusive Stockmann, and the success of this task greatly increased his notoriety within the Dark Vengeance collective.  


While Camaris had been busy looking after the Hunters Guild, the New Anzat Order spiraled down into decay. This once proud nation had formed a safe haven for all beings of the galaxy seeking a home that would stay neutral within the turmoil of the galactic war. It's independence and neutrality was its heart and soul and was desecrated when the weak [[Enzo Delaere]] handed over control to the Galactic Empire. The details and the reasoning behind this madness are unclear but the long lasting results are still felt. Quickly an anzatan revolution saw the light. In a fruitless attempt to strike down the revolution, the paranoid puppetleader, Lady [[Gabriella Storm]], ordered the execution of many innocent anzatans. Leading the revolution was Malakai Brooks who obviously requested the help of his friend, Camaris. The bounty hunting business had been under close control of the Galactic Empire and to survive in the business, good ties with the Empire were vital. So Camaris had a tough choice to make. He could not openly support a rebellion against the Empire's newest acquisition nor could he stand by and watch them murder and destroy all the things he had helped build. Soon thereafter, Malakai found asylum in the Rebel Alliance where he hoped to continue his campaign to free the anzatan nation and Camaris gave up the Bounty Hunters Guild and accepted a lowly job in Zaltin Corporation. Camaris still did not support the Empire's claim to the Anzat nation but he was wise enough to understand that there was a time and a place to reveal his true feelings on the matter.
After months of bounty hunting, destiny poked its filthy little snout out again. Branwen and Camaris conceived an ingenious plot to ensnare the [[Eidola|Eidolan pirate]] [[Teniel Djo]], the wily daughter of thief [[Keir Santage]]. The bait for the trap was [[Imperial]] [[Moff]] [[Victor von Ismay]] who had been stranded on the wrong vessel. Camaris was supposed to capture Teniel but, in a reversal of fortune, Branwen accepted a bribe from Teniel to kill the bait instead of herself. Ultimately, Moff von Ismay ended up murdered, Xanathar ended up a lot richer, and Teniel escaped a grisly fate by an inch. Wrathful at this betrayal, Camaris drove Branwen from their brotherhood of assassins and rechristened Dark Vengeance as the [[Bounty Hunters Guild]].  


Far away from Anzat, in the Churba sector, was the Ordint system. A long time ago, the NAO had battled to gain control over it and a man by the name of Chan had finally colonised it for the NAO. Chan consequently became the first Governor of Ordint. It was on Ordint that Malakai Brooks had been born also. Camaris thought that this distant province of the anzat nation would be a good place to pay a visit to. As he was making plans for his voyage, he met a man who had plans to build a city on Ordint. This man, Kir Jax, needed someone to help transport the raw materials though so Camaris offered his help. They had to be picked up from... Denevar. Camaris had not returned to Denevar ever since he fled the system in an attempt to avoid an arranged marriage. After picking up the materials on Denevar II, he paid a silent visit to Denevar I, his homeplanet. Galactic Salvage Inc had been renamed to the [[Tenloss Syndicate]], a large organisation with dubious goals. It had gained a subsidiairy by the name of [[Vyzerod Mining]], the company that had provided the raw materials Camaris was picking up. As Camaris entered the atmosphere of Denevar I it became obvious that the Syndicate had gained control over most of the planet and together with its subsidiairy, Vyzerod Mining, over most of the system in fact. Very little was left of the sa Vinitta lands and cities. Camaris didn't feel any anger, just sadness and a feeling that it had been the inevitable outcome considering his weak family. When the time was right he would return to claim his great great grandfather's sword, "Thorn", and restore some of the glory that had been lost.
While Camaris was stewarding the [[Bounty Hunters Guild|Hunters Guild]], the New Anzat Order spiraled into decay and corruption. The once-proud nation had been a safe haven for those refugees seeking a neutral ground amid the turmoil of the [[Galactic Civil War]]. This sacred philosophy of neutrality was violated when Prime Minister [[Enzo Delaere]] &mdash; a weak-willed Anzati bureaucrat &mdash; capitulated to the Galactic Empire's bullying stratagems. The exact details behind Delaere's act of cowardice are unclear but the aftershocks of his decision are still felt to this day.  
[[Image:Gabriella Storm Holocron Image 01.png|150px|thumb|right|[[Gabriella Storm]]]]
After the capitulation of Prime Minister Delaere and the appointment of Lady [[Gabriella Storm]] as the Imperial regent, a popular uprising occurred. Princess Storm summarily executed many innocent Anzatans in an unsuccessful attempt to quell the revolt. Leading the revolution was [[Malakai Brooks]] who requested the support of Camaris. His request put Camaris in a difficult position. The criminal underworld was dominated by the Empire and, in order to thrive, close relations with the Imperials were essential. Thus Camaris could not support the Anzati insurrection.  


By the time Camaris reached Ordint, the NAO had lost control over the planet. His interest for visiting the planet was obviously diminished and after quickly dropping off the materials, he jumped to hyperspace again. He had decided to rent his services and his personal bulk freighter out to people who needed raw materials transported. Soon enough that business expanded. He also offered to build cities and facilities for the people he transported for. The nature of the business made it so that he did not have that many clients. Building projects are usually slow and time consuming. Just to get all the needed materials to their destination it took a while.
As the revolt faltered, Malakai sought asylum in the [[Rebel Alliance]] where continued his campaign to liberate the Anzatan nation. Meanwhile, Camaris refused to denounce the Empire's subjugation of the Anzati people as he was shrewd enough not to reveal his true sentiments on the matter. Eventually, he relinquished command of the Bounty Hunters Guild and accepted a job in the [[Zaltin Corporation]].  


<br />
===Return to Denevar===
Far away from [[Anzat (Planet)|Anzat]] was the [[Ingo (System)|Ingo system]] in the [[Bortele Cluster]], located in the [[Mid Rim]] swath of the galaxy. Long ago, the Anzati nation [[Battle of Ingo|had battled to gain control over the system]] and a warlord by the name of [[Chan]] had decisively conquered it for the Anzati populace. Consequently, Chan was designated the first Governor of Ingo. Camaris thought that this distant province of the Anzati nation would be an intriguing place to visit. As he was making plans for his voyage, he met a cantankerous [[Wookiee|Wookiee dwarf]] who planned to build a space-city on [[Ingo]].

Biography

Youth on Denevar

Camaris sa Vinitta was born on Denevar I. He is the son of Isgrimnur and Alyss sa Vinitta. He is named after his great-great-grandsire. This Camaris had been an adventurer in the days when the interstellar space drive was first used by the Denevar civilization. His valorous feats had earned him a noble title and a land allotment on Denevar I. He was given a baronage by the ruling dynasty of that period and the sa Vinitta clan soon prospered. While the ruling dynasties rose and fell with the bloody tides of history, the sa Vinitta clan retained their prized lands and hereditary titles. Camaris the Elder had been a natural leader — intelligent, forceful, and capable. As the paterfamilias of the sa Vinitta clan, he carefully stewarded the lands entrusted to him, and many commoners flocked to his spaceports. He became one of the wealthiest barons on the planet. He had the foresight to commingle his bloodline with other space-faring clans on Denevar I and, as such, his clan's longevity was ensured.

When Camaris the Elder died however, his steady hand and grand vision were dearly missed. Soon enough the sa Vinitta clan was little more than haughty nobles and arrogant weaklings. Greedy mistresses and lavish feasts were all too common. It was only thanks to Camaris policy of arranged unions that the clan held on to its possessions. It was his vision that still kept their clan's holdings intact.

Around this time, Camaris the Younger was born. He grew up unaware that he was anything special and felt like any other boy on the planet. Much to the disapproval of his parents, he refused to take private lessons and was educated like most youths on Denevar I. He grew further apart from his family's antiquated customs and supercilious attitudes. Like the ancestor after whom he was named, he longed to be an adventurer and to embark upon an inter-solar voyage for fortune and glory. His family resented his lack of ambition. He was shunned by his parents during his academy training and mocked by his relatives. At family gatherings, he stood out with his egalitarian mindset and his unique outlook towards life.

Offworld Adventures

At twenty-one solar years, Camaris was rapidly approaching the age when sa Vinitta males were forced into an arranged marriage. He had no intention of wedding a fat bride with chafing thighs. He promptly gathered his belongings and utilized a contraband HoloNet terminal to search for employment somewhere far, far away from his native world. Fortuitously, Galactic Salvage Incorporated (GSI) needed personnel for a large-scale operation at an undisclosed location, and Camaris was hired to command a Class VI Bulk Freighter for this colossal undertaking.

Prior to the operation, however, Camaris had to wait on Tanaab for his bulk freighter and its motley crew to arrive. He idled away the hours in an unsanitary tavern called "The Underground." It was one of the only establishments where they served Gamorrean Grog and its nightly happenings included vibro-axe brawls, blaster fights, and other violent showdowns. When he first entered the dimly-lit tavern, the interior had been devastated by the powerful blast of a thermite bomb directed at one of the patrons. Camaris was told the target survived but lost her two unborn children because of it.

Tara Tylger

One evening at this tavern, Camaris witnessed a walloping fight involving a huge, mucilaginous Hutt known as Kavvel. The Hutt had wrecked the turbolift with his spasmodic tail and provoked an uproar. A glow-lamp was overturned, and the tavern plunged into chaos. A thermal detonator was hurled by an unseen hand and quite a few bystanders ended up... underground. While helping the injured patrons, Camaris encountered a doctor called Ranofer Zedlav. Together, they aided two women harmed in the melee with the Hutt. They repulsor-lifted the women to The Running Jackal, a nearby starship owned by Tara Tylger whom Camaris later learned was the target of the bomb attack. The treatment of the two women proved to be a failure as the patients were violently uncooperative. After Camaris was bitten by the woman called Xya, she knocked him unconscious with a terrific kick to his jaw.

This hostile encounter with ungrateful, sharp-toothed femme-fatales traumatized Camaris for many sleepless nights. His perception of the galaxy and its peculiar life-forms was forever altered. Whether this psychological reaction was due to neural parasites transmitted via the painful bite, he did not know. But, from that point onward, he trusted others less. He never went anywhere without his DL-44 blaster pistol, and he kept his own counsel. He was more introverted and recalcitrant. Strangely, he noticed that his new unprying demeanor was appreciated on some rare occasions.

Skulls in the Stars

For the next several years, he served in Galactic Salvage Incorporated. The company was under the auspices of Tycho Celchu, a Corellian entrepreneur. Celchu employed a diverse array of alien personnel. Celchu placed Camaris in charge of a sizable armada of bulk freighters and instructed him to salvage a military convoy destroyed in a space-battle at Obroa Skai. Camaris was confronted with the unexpected burden of command. His inexperience was resented by his subordinates, and his orders were ignored. Hours were wasted arguing until Camaris physically asserted his authority.

After this mission, GSI dispatched Camaris to investigate legends of a treasure-fleet in the Cron Drift. Piloting a YV-666 scout-ship, he discovered the legends were true: A Super Star Destroyer lay adrift in this dangerous briar-patch of space. Unfortunately for Camaris, there were other scavengers interested in the treasure-fleet. Among the scavengers were Dark Prince Plojo Rosom of the Black Sun crime syndicate and his peroxide-blonde bodyguard Tara Tylger. They chose to join forces with Camaris and to explore the titanic space vessel together in an attempt to unlock its mysteries. Camaris, Plojo, and Tara entered the Super Star Destroyer through triple airlocks. They explored the vast 15,000 meter-long cylindrical interior, but the original mission of the derelict destroyer — as well as the location of its fabled treasures — remained unknown to them. Slowly, the explorers realized something was drastically wrong. For reasons beyond their comprehension, a rift had occurred in the space-time continuum within the vessel. Warping through time, they discovered a portal that led to parallel dimensions of infinite possibilities. To add to this mystery, disembodied voices terrorized them.

Malakai Brooks

During this mind-bending encounter aboard the derelict vessel, Camaris underwent an abominable metamorphosis. The precise details are unclear to him as he was rendered unconscious. Vague memories of nightmarish monstrosities came to him during his sleep. He awoke in a sinister cairn on a fog-shrouded planet. Two tentacle-like proboscises had sprouted from his cheeks. He was tended by an old troglodyte with gleaming red eyes. He felt an odd sensation of thirst and craved to feed upon the troglodyte's brains. The old man was Camaris' first "soup." It was then Camaris realized he had transformed into an Anzati, a near-human alien who preyed upon weaker life-forms. The Anzati were a long-lived species possessing regenerative capabilities beyond those of humans. They were also telepathic, allowing them to dominate someone's mind to give them a chance to feed.

By this time, Camaris' impatient employers at Galactic Salvage hadn't received word from him in ages. He had been classified as missing-in-action. Ashamed at his new form and having nowhere to turn, he traveled the Perlemian Trade Route to the Anzati homeworld in a desperate search for answers. The legendary planet held an eerily magnetic attraction for him. When he arrived at its gothic capital of Nova Anzatia, he was granted a formal audience by Prime Minister Malakai Brooks of the New Anzat Order.

As their conversation unfolded, Malakai sensed in Camaris a raw talent for command. Malakai startlingly offered the position of Commander of the Army to Camaris. This unexpected appointment instilled confidence in him. As weeks passed, he studied the Anzati culture and gained a deep respect for his new Anzati form, a respect that soothed the rupture with his distant past on Denevar I. Malakai and Camaris grew closer during the logistical preparation for a surprise attack on a heathen colony, and Camaris was mentored by Malakai to become a leader.

All You Can Eat

When the hour of battle finally arrived, Camaris and his jackbooted shock-troops — "the regulators" — swept through the colony at a devastating pace. Thanks to superior tactics and superior equipment, the Anzati force annihilated the colonial militia. Driving the remaining combatants into the city square at the base of a monolithic skyscraper, Camaris' shock-troops displayed their ruthless efficiency. When Prime Minister Malakai landed in his Lambda Shuttle, he was escorted by Camaris and his regulators to the roof of the high-rise where the colony's governor and family were hiding. Conceding defeat, the frightened governor surrendered and placed his life in Malakai's hands. What followed was a grotesque spectacle of Anzati mass-feeding. Together, Malakai and Camaris devoured the governor and his offspring atop the high-rise, while their marauding Anzati troops left none of the colonists in the square alive.

Ann Yael-Antaria

After this brutal campaign for the Anzatan nation, Camaris felt listless. He took a leave of absence from the Anzatan regime and wandered the cosmos. His appearance drastically altered. His face was painted grey and, on his forehead, a red circle was drawn. Few recognized Camaris at this point.

When Malakai retired as Prime Minister, he tracked down the elusive Camaris. Malakai had founded Offworld Mining Company (OMC) to bolster the Anzatan industrial sector and was in need of a Chief Executive Officer. He offered the position to Camaris who accepted with trepidation. While recruiting for the company, Camaris met an Anzati temptress named Ann Yael-Antaria — the long-suffering mate of the famously-endowed, rage-prone Wookiee Choibacco Antaria. Ann Yael was appointed by Camaris as his second-in-command and personal assistant. Whether or not the close interaction between Camaris and Ann Yael aboard cramped freighters led to a sexual liaison is unknown.

Due to internal squabbles in the Anzatan regime caused by the dictatorial, power-hungry Prime Minister Perrin Wolfstar, there was a political schism among OMC personnel. Malakai took control of OMC and Camaris retreated into solitude. Disinterested in the ongoing Anzati disputes with Nikklon Mining Incorporated, Camaris instead enlisted as "a bounty killer" for Dark Vengeance, a shadowy brotherhood of assassins led by the ill-famed Xanathar Branwen. Camaris used his hunting assignments to slake his hunger for brains — soup. Repeatedly proving his mettle, he ascended the brotherhood's hierarchy to become Branwen's trusted second-in-command.

The Thrill of the Hunt

Xanathar Branwen's Dark Vengeance collective often conspired with Mosep Chitose's Hapan Security Forces and other government agencies to apprehend and disintegrate known outlaws. Such missions were highly crucial to Dark Vengeance's external reputation as they demonstrated that bounty hunters could successfully capture fugitives who had escaped retribution by the law. In one instance, the Galactic Empire placed a bounty on the porcine head of Hovstad Stockmann, an unusually-intelligent Gamorrean mercenary who had defected from their ranks. Camaris was commissioned to find the elusive Stockmann, and the success of this task greatly increased his notoriety within the Dark Vengeance collective.

After months of bounty hunting, destiny poked its filthy little snout out again. Branwen and Camaris conceived an ingenious plot to ensnare the Eidolan pirate Teniel Djo, the wily daughter of thief Keir Santage. The bait for the trap was Imperial Moff Victor von Ismay who had been stranded on the wrong vessel. Camaris was supposed to capture Teniel but, in a reversal of fortune, Branwen accepted a bribe from Teniel to kill the bait instead of herself. Ultimately, Moff von Ismay ended up murdered, Xanathar ended up a lot richer, and Teniel escaped a grisly fate by an inch. Wrathful at this betrayal, Camaris drove Branwen from their brotherhood of assassins and rechristened Dark Vengeance as the Bounty Hunters Guild.

While Camaris was stewarding the Hunters Guild, the New Anzat Order spiraled into decay and corruption. The once-proud nation had been a safe haven for those refugees seeking a neutral ground amid the turmoil of the Galactic Civil War. This sacred philosophy of neutrality was violated when Prime Minister Enzo Delaere — a weak-willed Anzati bureaucrat — capitulated to the Galactic Empire's bullying stratagems. The exact details behind Delaere's act of cowardice are unclear but the aftershocks of his decision are still felt to this day.

Gabriella Storm

After the capitulation of Prime Minister Delaere and the appointment of Lady Gabriella Storm as the Imperial regent, a popular uprising occurred. Princess Storm summarily executed many innocent Anzatans in an unsuccessful attempt to quell the revolt. Leading the revolution was Malakai Brooks who requested the support of Camaris. His request put Camaris in a difficult position. The criminal underworld was dominated by the Empire and, in order to thrive, close relations with the Imperials were essential. Thus Camaris could not support the Anzati insurrection.

As the revolt faltered, Malakai sought asylum in the Rebel Alliance where continued his campaign to liberate the Anzatan nation. Meanwhile, Camaris refused to denounce the Empire's subjugation of the Anzati people as he was shrewd enough not to reveal his true sentiments on the matter. Eventually, he relinquished command of the Bounty Hunters Guild and accepted a job in the Zaltin Corporation.

Return to Denevar

Far away from Anzat was the Ingo system in the Bortele Cluster, located in the Mid Rim swath of the galaxy. Long ago, the Anzati nation had battled to gain control over the system and a warlord by the name of Chan had decisively conquered it for the Anzati populace. Consequently, Chan was designated the first Governor of Ingo. Camaris thought that this distant province of the Anzati nation would be an intriguing place to visit. As he was making plans for his voyage, he met a cantankerous Wookiee dwarf who planned to build a space-city on Ingo. This diminutive Wookiee — Kir Jax — needed an intrepid star-pilot to smuggle unrefined materials to the city. Camaris offered his talents. The materials had to be retrieved from Denevar II near his homeworld.

Camaris hadn't returned to the Denevar system ever since he fled an arranged marriage. After procuring the materials on Denevar II, he undertook a solemn pilgrimage to Denevar I. By that time, Galactic Salvage Inc. had been renamed the Tenloss Syndicate, a more overtly-criminal organization with dubious goals. Tenloss had acquired a subsidiary corporation named Vyzerod Mining, the company that had provided the raw materials Camaris was picking up.

As Camaris entered the atmosphere of Denevar I, he realized the Tenloss Syndicate and Vyzerod Mining had gained control over most of the planet. Open-pit mines and industrial refineries disfigured the surface of his once-beautiful world. Little remained of the ancestral lands of the sa Vinitta clan. Remarkably, Camaris didn't feel any anger, only sadness. He felt the outcome was inevitable considering his weak family. One day, he might return to claim his great-great-grandfather's sword, "Thorn," and restore the glory that had been lost.
