Biography

Bork guarding a palace.

Bork is the son of a prominent Morgukai warrior, and was taken from his home-world of Kintan at a young age to be forced into slavery by a nearby Hutt Crime Lord. After being taken by the Lord, word came in that his family and rest of his village had been slaughtered because of a rebellion that started in wake of his kidnapping. He became the slave guard of a Hutt Lord on Tatooine, who soon noticed his exceptional fighting skills and trained him further as an assassin. Bork soon became infamous and well known for being a death enforcer of the Hutt crime lords. However, he could never forget how his family was slaughtered by the cartel. Soon afterwards, he rejected his status as a slave and began to seek revenge on his former masters. Fueled with hatred towards his masters, Bork rebelled against them and in a rampage killed the Hutt Lord who claimed to be his master.

Corona-class Frigate, 'M'dweshuu'

After the assassination of the Crime Lord, a bounty was placed on Bork's head as consequence of his actions against the Hutt. Bork had to escape and leave the planet using the local Starport, and it was not an easy escape considering bounty hunters and assassins were guarding the entrance of the Starport. To avoid them, Bork had to disguise using a robe he took from a bounty hunter he defeated some days after rebelling against the Hutts. Bork traveled to Malastare where he met with local merchants and managed to acquire basic equipment. Armed only with his modified BD-1 Cutter, he trained to improve his fighting skills, facing enormous creatures and bandit squads all by himself. After selling some creature trophies and rare equipment looted from defeated bandits, he left Malastare and embarked on a quest of power, his only wish to become stronger.

The Force

Hunting on Kinyen.

After finding out he was attuned to the Force, Bork embarked on a quest to find out more about this mysterious energy. He struggled to grow more connected with the Force but soon after training hard he was able to use it as a means to become stronger. During this time period, Bork bought a Corona-class Frigate. He knew he needed a crew for his recently acquired Corona, ‘M’dweshuu’, and hired on a group of Gran mercenaries to aid him in his hunting operations. He set course to Kinyen for another hunting expedition with his newly hired mercenaries.

The ship wreck that Bork found the Living Sphere in.

After recruiting the Gran mercenaries, his drop-ship suffered from mechanical issues and they had to land on a clearing, deep in the jungles of Kinyen. To his surprise, it was the site of ancient ship wreckage. He and his crew set out to explore the wreckage for anything of value. Inside the ruins, it was Bork that found a mysterious green glowing sphere. He felt that the sphere had a connection to the Force and that he was not there by accident. The Force guided him to that place for a reason, he decided to take it with him. He dedicated a room within his Corona to the orb, and to other Force artifacts that he has found. Now with the Sphere in his possession, Bork found that connecting to the Force was easier than ever, and it strengthened his connection. He soon became one of the most powerful Force-users in the Outer Rim.

The Living Sphere

Bork and the Living Sphere.

The mysterious sphere he found in Kinyen had a strong connection to the Force, Bork was committed to finding more about the mysterious energy inside it. After meditating and using the Force to manipulate the sphere, he was able to extract some of its energy. This energy granted him with visions of the past and of future events. Bork had constant visions and nightmares of an ancient demon, Malmourral the Demon of War. The demon often appeared in his visions to tell him that he would play a key role in a great war that would plague the galaxy.

Bork quickly became even more attuned with the Force and used the energy of the Living Sphere to boost his skills. Bork and his crew visited Kinyen and the ship wreckage again to find out more about the sphere. After analyzing the records and data files of the main computer, Bork's crew found out that the mysterious object was called “The Living Sphere” and it was an object created by an ancient cult known as the Frangawl Clan. The sphere was an artifact that stored the living essence of many sentient that were sacrificed by the ancient cult. The souls inside are responsible for the visions that Bork was having.

The Living Sphere

When visiting the capital city on Kinyen, he came across a corpse of a Trandoshan who had been murdered at the local cantina and left in a ditch nearby. He noticed that the sphere started glowing again, and decided to get the sphere closer to the corpse. The dead Trandoshan suddenly came back to life but little was left of his former self. He was a lost soul, undead, a slave that would follow orders without hesitation. Bork was then convinced that the Living Sphere was indeed a recipient of the living essence of many unfortunate victims of the Frangawl Clan. Bork understood that the energy within the sphere was limited and that it decreased on every use. He knew that eventually he would have to feed it again, he would have to steal the living essence of other beings in order to charge it.
