Upon leaving the Galactic Empire, Robert Reynolds served [[Ximaro Jix]] as his first personal bodyguard. Later having attained the rank of enforcer for [[Dark Star Hellions]] swoop gang, he and Ximaro would go on take the lives of [[Drak`ora Sabosen]] and [[Vito Royan]] in a double bounty/assassination which focused on disrupting the Chiss in Exile political movement .
 
 
During the rise of Zann Consortium, when several Hellions would remain with the gang and others would become non active Hellions, Robert committed himself into the Zann umbrella where he would undergo grueling training to earn the right to bear the rank of Defiler. Robert would then go on to conduct several operations on behalf of Zann and its affiliate organizations until his subsequent arrest and incarceration by Hellions rogues who later identified themselves as [[Alliance Special Operations]]. It was after this long incarceration and rescue by [[Juan Vargez]] and members of the pirate outfit [[Dread]] that Robert would be ready to rejoin the Zann ranks and focus on re-integrating himself as a Defiler Cell Leader.
 


Not long later, Ximaro would announce his stepping down from running Zann operations officially before moving to take over the umbrella pirate crew, [[Dread]], which Shane Tayjer ran previously until retirement. Robert, a long time, loyal member of the Zann family, as well as brother to the [[Falleen]] Jix, would once again offer his services and skills to the pirate organization which Ximaro was going on to reintegrate and re-engineer. In no time at all, as the re-structure of [[Dread]] carried on, Robert was made Black Cloak of Dread becoming its newest second in command, replacing Ximaro's own brother [[Chokk Ovin Jix]] who previously served alongside [[Shane Tayjer]].


Robert was born in the year of -10 on day 300 to Ares and Jazlynn Reynolds. His parents were overjoyed to have had their third child and they had decided to go a little out of the ordinary for his name. After a few days of debate, they settled on Robert Ares Reynolds.


Robert's parents were the proud owners of a very popular tavern, ''The Crimson Pirate Cellar''. They were able to support their family of five, Robert, and his two twin sisters, Naya and Nomi, as well as themselves on the income from this tavern alone, so it became the family's business.
In year 16, on the 182nd day, Robert shifted from his role as [[Dread]]’s Quartermaster to the Captain rank, becoming the new leader of the ruthless pirate crew. With him, he carried his title of “Black Cloak” over to become known as the Black Cloak of [[Dread]].


For the first ten years of his life, Robert had been eagerly waiting for the day he could help out at the tavern and he envied his older sisters because they got to have all the fun while Robert was stuck at a neighbors house until the bar would close. At dinner time, he would sit and enjoy all the great, and rather interesting, stories they had about their days. It was moments like these that Robert would come to miss about his family the most.


Finally, in the wondrous year of 1, Robert had been deemed old enough to start work at the bar. He could not stop smiling the entire day he was there as he cleared off and wiped down tables that smelt like various ales. He was able to meet some really nice alien lifeforms who at first, to him at least, seemed pretty scary but turned out to be good family friends. He worked so hard his first day that when he got home, he was out before he crossed the threshold to their house. His sisters just chuckled at him as Naya carried him of to his bed.
To date, it is speculated that Robert, along with [[Ximaro Jix]], has lead the pirate crew longer than leaders of the past seeing the crew through their removal from the Zann Umbrella so they may operate more independently within the alliance, to the many successful raids and captures that the crew has conducted over the years.


The following years were a great time for the Reynolds family and it seemed that the family had only been getting closer to each other. They frequented the pod races and often took vacations to many different planets in their sector. Everywhere they went though, Robert seemed to be infatuated by the Imperial forces that either marched around or zoomed above in space. He knew then that he would eventually want to join the ranks of the [[Galactic Empire]].


At night, he and his sisters would often gaze up at the stars and hope that one day they would be able to travel far enough to be amongst them. Naya would tell stories of wonderful battles that raged on above them as the Imperials fought to keep them safe. Nomi would often compare such battles to a well coordinated dance, well rehearsed and perfected. Robert laid back and listened to these tales and could not stop imagining himself as part of this dance in the sky.


For a while, as the family grew closer and closer, it seemed life would remain this good forever.
=='''The Good Ol' Days'''==


=='''A Tragic Turning Point'''==
Robert Reynolds, born Year -10 Day 300 to Ares and Jazlynn Reynolds, spent the first part of his life enjoying an average Corellian life. His family wasn’t particularly wealthy, but the money they brought in from their tavern kept them quite comfortable.




'''Year 3 Day 290'''
The years passed by before Robert found himself working in the tavern alongside the rest of his family, to include his older sisters. Life had seemed to have no end in sight for the happiness Robert was fortunate enough to enjoy. That was, until the “accidental” fire that broke out in the family tavern just a few months later.  
Ten days before Robert's 13th birthday, Things had taken a drastic turn for the worst.


Robert and his family got up and prepared for the day as they normally did. His sisters fought over the bathroom because the other took too long and they had to look perfect for their day at work. Especially if any of those Hapan boys came around as they usually did. Robert simply laughed as the girls quarreled but he couldn't help but feel as if something bad was about to take place, but he he wasn't sure what it was. Thinking it was nothing, he just shrugged it off as they made their way to the bar he loved so much.


The bar was more lively than ever before. Round after round continued to flow from the antique taps the bar had since it was established. It seemed every race of being was either dancing or singing to the loud music. Robert and his sisters even joined in on the fun between orders. Robert finally looked at the mounted chronometer to see the day was half gone. He was surprised at how fast time flew when he had fun. Feeling the hunger in his stomach kick up, he told his parents he was headed home for a quick meal as he left his lunch at home. He then parted from the bar and rushed home to eat so he could come back to the festivities.
Robert was lucky to have made his way from the building just as the flames began to consume the building, causing the structure to collapse upon itself. His escape wasn’t entirely fortunate as the last image of his parents was their burning bodies trapped beneath a charred beam, a sight that would forever remain burned into his memory as he ran into a nearby forest. It wasn’t long before he realized that his sisters hadn’t turned up to find him, and Robert didn’t recall seeing them once the chaos began. This was the start of Robert’s downward spiral.


As quick as he made it home, he was done eating and tossing the dishes into the sink to be cleaned later. He then locked up the house and walked back to the Tavern. On his way there though, he was passed by three fire crews, all rushing the same direction. Robert looked around as the bad feeling welled up inside him again. His eyes had locked onto a pillar of black smoke in the area the Tavern was located in. Robert began to run the rest of the way and when he arrived at the bar, his worst thoughts had come true. People who had just been inside the bar being merry, were now running out screaming. Heat from the blaze radiated as the fire crews fought to kill the flames.


Without a steady source of income, Robert quickly ran out of credits and found himself surviving on the streets as even the shacks in the lesser developed areas of Corellia were too much. Occasionally he would catch a break as various, sympathetic patrons would offer odd jobs for a small reward, but nothing that proved enough to pull him out of the depression he suffered. It wasn’t until the day he passed a recruiting office, smelling of filth and booze that his life would begin to change; the day he signed his life away to the largest Navy at the time, the [[Imperial Navy]]. Robert enlisted with a vow to find the scum that took his family from him and keep the galaxy safe from the torment of corruption.

Tears streamed down Robert's face as he ran in to the tavern yelling for his parents and sisters and passing the bodies of the patrons who's lives were taken by the flames. Roberts skin began to lightly burn as he passed the flames in search for his family, but he could not find them. He turned to run back out when the roof above him gave way and he became trapped under a support beam. Robert struggled to become free of the beam but it was no use, he was unable to budge it. He yelled for help as the smoke began to fill his lungs causing him to snap in and out of consciousness. Just as his hope was fading away, a Gand had found him and had lifted the beam away long enough to scoop Robert up and carry him out to safety. Between black outs, Robert asked the man to try and locate his parents, so he rushed back into the blaze.
=='''The Imperial Career'''==


Moments later, the Gand emerged from the flames just as the building collapsed, and in his arms were the bodies of his mother and father. The Gand set the two down in front of Robert and stepped back. Robert came to realize that they had not made it. Robert fell to the ground, tears pouring from his eyes as he looked upon his parent's charred bodies.His sadness soon became rage, not only toward the attackers, but toward himself for not having been there for his family. He stood up and demanded to know who was the cause of this. Some of the witnesses who made it out said it was a band of pirates that came in and stormed the place.  
As all careers begin, Robert was sent off to the Imperial Academy where he studied under Markus Saretti, graduating with his class a short two weeks after arrival to the large facility. Not a moment later, RADE had honored Robert's request to join the Imperial Navy where he was assigned to the 4th Imperial Fleet. He started as a Crewman under the command of Commander Igneus Esh.


Robert channeled his anger toward the pirates but knew there was nothing he could really do at the time. So he let the depression sink in and take over his life causing him to plummet in a downward spiral. He tried to take the edge off as the emotional pain got worse by drinking heavily, soon becoming a raging alcoholic. Friends began to disappear from his life, nobody would hire him because of his anger and drinking problems. He lived off a freighter that his dad had owned. The only thing that really kept him alive through this time, was the one picture he had left of his two sisters. When he would think back to the tavern burning, he would remember that neither of their bodies had been found. He held on to the last bit of hope he had that somewhere, they were still alive. He had hoped that they too, were looking for him.


=='''A Brighter Future'''==
In two years time, Robert had seen several command changes from Commander Esh to the more notable LT Arya Downing, who was accented by his XO LTJG Galdarzz Aalon. The 4th Imperial Fleet had remained unchanged from that point, dominating in the numerous operations that took place until the [[Empire]] worked out an agreement with the [[New Imperial Order]] late into Year 11.




Two years had passed by and Robert decided it was time for a change. He was tired of eating scraps and wasting what little money he had on alcohol. He decided to get up and put his life back together, be the man he once was. He started by cleaning up and looking for a job.
On the brink of the new year, the NIO Had officially merged into the forces of the [[Empire]], bringing with them a complete restructure of the Navy fleets and commands from Naval High Command down to every fleet. It was around this time that Robert also attained his final rank of LTJG, further establishing himself as a weathered Naval officer. Slowly Robert began to warm up to Rear Admiral Senki Blackrain who had taken over as the Naval XO, among some of the other new faces that were now present.  


Robert tried to apply at some of the bigger businesses, but they all rejected him as soon as they heard about his alcoholic phase and the sever depression he was recovering from. Tired of rejection, he tried to hide his past, and it was successful until he confided in a close friend who then turned him in. He was soon fired from that job and back on the streets again. Having no luck with the bigger businesses, he turned to the smaller ones owned by families, such as his family's bar used to be. He was having issues with finding many small employers until he stumbled upon Voren's repair shop. Hopeful he walked in and asked for a job but was turned down almost immediately as the owner was walking out the door to make a delivery. Robert was about to leave rather upset when a younger man than the owner walked out from the back and introduced himself as Sekel Ngo and even offers a small side job to Robert, one he gladly accepted.


As Sekel and Robert worked on the broken droids, they began to exchange life stories. Although, with his experience with the bigger businesses, Robert was a bit reluctant to share. Sekel, however, coxed it out of him and was in disbelief at the tragic story he had to tell.Little did Robert know, the man who denied him a job right off the bat had heard a good half of the story and was inclined to learn a bit more about the man who stumbled into his shop.
These new relationships, however, were shortly lived as Robert discovered that this life wasn't what he had wanted any longer. The further into the officer life he went, the more he saw that he was working for the very same type of people that he sought to protect the Galaxy from when he first signed his life away. Robert saw for the first time just how the largest forces in the galaxy functioned behind closed doors. Before he knew it, Robert found himself in a position that required him to make a choice. He had to choose between staying the course and turning a blind eye to the corruption he was surrounded by, as so many others have before him, or he could take a chance on his own again and learn to master spreading the corruption these organizations were build upon.


Once they got one droid fixed up, Sekel treated Robert to lunch at Sekel's favorite diner. as he waited to order, Sekel had to leave briefly to take a call so when the waitress came to the table finally, Robert hadn't really known what to say. When he looked up at the female that approached the table, he was awestruck with her beauty. He felt himself blushing a bit so he ordered for the both of them so she would leave and not catch him blushing. He couldn't help but think about her for the rest of the day though, she really seemed to captivate him.


as the day wound down, Robert was getting ready to leave Voren's repair shop and wander around again when Sekel offered for him to stay at his family's place. Hesitantly, he accepted and was brought home with him. Once at the house, Voren, and his wife Ashuri had sat Robert down so he could retell his life story. After which, Ashuri took great pitty in Robert and went as far as to accept him into their family later that night and a contract of sorts was extended to him by Voren. Robert had began to feel happiness again as he had a family of sorts now. He shortly after met Iain Ngo, another brother, and was soon out in the garage with him, working on more droids. Covered in grease, Robert rose from the droid he was working on at the sound of the door to the house opening. Iain soon informed him that they also had a sister, and to Roberts surprise, it was the waitress from the diner.
This very choice was a turning point for Robert and put him on a course that soon acquainted him with [[Ximaro Jix]], who at the time ran the [[Dark Star Hellions]] swoop gang. Robert would soon decide to defect from the Empire, leaving his titles, ranks and relationships in the past, to learn how to master the spread of corruption and chaos from the master himself.  




==='''An 'Unrequited' Love'''===


[[Seren Ngo]] was her name. The waitress from the diner not only looked beautiful, but had a name to match. hair of brown silk, skin that looked as smooth as velvet. She seemed to light up a room as soon as she entered it. And to be a part of the same family he was just accepted into threw a wrench into this love. Robert introduced himself to the young lady then secluded himself to his thoughts. So anxiously he wanted to express to her the way he felt about her, but so gloomily he thought of her not feeling the same about him. So heavy did these thoughts weigh, that he never did express to her what she meant to him.


Roberts passion for [[Seren Ngo|Seren]] slowly weakened as time went by. She slowly became more of a sister to him as he became integrated into the Ngo family. But everyday that passes by, he regrets not, at the very least, talking to her to see how she felt as they could have worked out. On the other hand, Robert is also glad as it could have affected how close they would have grown as friends. As family.
