History
Early Life
Heytzo Von Duro was born to a family of Muuns who were renowned in Harnaidan for having a large stockpile of raw materials which translated into wealth on Muunilinst, making his upbringing comfortable and relatively normal for most Muun children. He was calculating complex mathematical algorithms before he could speak basic, which would be his second language, and through his teen years he focused exclusively on his studies to keep university options open in the financial district. Upon completion of basic schooling, he moved on to the Harnaidan University and as expected completed the four year program easily, though at the average level, making it easy for him to get accepted at an insurance firm which managed claims for the InterGalactic Banking Clan.
Things would swiftly change for Muunilinst during the Clone Wars, however, at which point Heytzo found himself drafted by the Confederacy of Independent Systems as part of the IGBC's Collections and Security Division. Mostly seeing action against pirates who took advantage of the Wars chaos in the surrounding sectors, Heytzo served as a sublieutenant on one of the Divisions many Munificent-class star frigates employed by the Banking Clan though was spared many of the larger battles in the Clone Wars. With the end of the Republic and subsequent rise of the Galactic Empire, he was able to end his military service and return to Muunilinst working in a small accounting firm on the fringes of Harnaidan.
Career in the Kingdom of Elysia
- "Time is Muuney, Friends..."
- — Heytzo Von Duro
Just another Muun, trying to make some Muuney, Heytzo left his homeworld of Muunilinst, where he now lived a mundane life as a low ranking banking clerk, to become a citizen of the Kingdom of Elysia on Year 16 Day 205. Once his papers were processed by the local starport, he bought passage to the Gendius Sector where he would start his new career as a member of the Government's Department of Infrastructure to help the Kingdom build glorious cities that may one day rival those of Coruscant. He enjoyed his work but would take up many side projects such as the Von Duro Emporium based within Elysia to buy, sell, and trade various odds and ends to work his way to personal fortune and prestige within the organization.
After weeks of hard work and dedication to both the Kingdom and his own efforts, Von Duro eventually began to see returns on his time invested in the form of recognition within Elysia. He would inherit responsibilities for recruiting new Elysians into government work as well as handling more encompassing work orders on behalf of his supervisors. As his personal wealth expanded, it was time to start thinking long term, eventual retirement after years with the Kingdom, this drove him to acquire a Corona-Class Frigate, which he christened the "Muuney Time" as a first step towards securing his currently underwhelming assets.
By Year 16, Day 234, Heytzo would gain recognition within the Kingdom of Elysia not only as a recruitment liaison and member of the Office of Culture and Education, but also in the Department of Infrastructure as an Artisan, giving him additional responsibilities which catered to his skills within the government. By this time, the Von Duro Emporium would see substantial success on the open market, buying and selling items for customers throughout the galaxy and receiving various offers that would soon see his pockets becoming filled with what he craved most; Muuney. Using his new found financial capabilities, the Muun would swiftly work towards shoring up his personal self protection force, now based off of his mobile command centre, a newly manufactured Corona-Class Frigate, amongst his crack team would be highly skilled mercenaries and a squadron of swift action snub fighters.
Through successes born of taking on the mantle of Editor & Chief of the Elysian Crown News network for the Kingdom, Heytzo would find his actions rewarded with the title of Knight of Elysia, the First Knight of many, which allowed him to select land within the Kingdom which would eventually serve as the centre for Heytzo's base of future operations. Having earned the medal of achievement for passed actions on behalf of Elysia, he would start adopting a more proactive stance on Academy training programs and basic recruitment efforts with the Office of Culture, including developing new ways of providing entertainment and information to the citizens of the Kingdom. In his pursuit for Muuney, the Elysian Muun would begin seeking out business partners in the free market in the hopes of building a more stable foundation for the Von Duro Emporium, ensuring a supply of products was readily available and commercial information would transit better between merchants with similar goals.
As an Artisan in the Service of Elysia, Heytzo Von Duro would see himself becoming more and more involved with the Office's of the Government in the following months. By Year 16 Day 270 he was named Director of Recruitment and the Academy which put him in a supervisors role, working with new recruits from the moment they applied for citizenship in Elysia to the day they eventually graduated from the Academy. Under Heytzo, working alongside the Lord Chancellor and the King, various changes would be made to both Offices to streamline processes and make the Kingdom a more interesting place to work, hoping for increased retention of recruits for the Departments and Crown Companies.
