History

Nat N`ightshade was born into the Ani Clan on the planet of Ryloth. His family consisted of his parents, Cazne and Daesha, his younger brother, Ree and his elder sister, Thali`a.

Like a lot of Twi`lek, his early years went by without incident, or it was until Nat was about 5 years old when Daesha was kidnapped and sold to a slave ring. Cazne tried everything he could to prevent it, but it was in vain and she became the property of a Corellian named Ivan.

Nat, along with his siblings missed his mother and tried to occupy himself with learning ways to protect his family. he toughened up but was still overjoyed when one day she returned home. He wasn't altogether sure how or why she had been released and although he seemed happy to be home she also seemed troubled and distracted. Nat and his sister tried to coax whatever the problem was out of their mother, but she would not speak of what it was that bothered her. Nat was respectful of her feelings and did what he could to make her happy.

While Nat’s mother was away he and his father grew close, Cazne taught him how to fight and after years of training Nat showed promise as a very good warrior. However, he was still young and was caught off guard while hunting and he too was kidnapped by slavers.

Nat's Enslavement

Nat had found himself in a very bad situation and had never been away from his family before. Fortunately Nat was very quick to adapt to most situations he found himself in. He was unclear what would become of him during his enslavement but soon became known when he was sold to a male Clawdite who had a small militia of slaves that had been trained to guard him. When the Clawdite saw Nat his first impressions were that he was a skilled fighter. Even though he viewed the marks on Nat's skin he was not overly battle-scarred. Nat was put through further training and under orders to defend his master at all costs. This was to be his life for the next few years; defending his master but all the while slowly planning his escape.

Nat's Escape

Since his capture Nat had developed a tendency to notice detail and be concious of his surroundings and it became increasingly aware that some girls had taken an interest in him. He soon started working this to his advantage and started by seeing if they would smuggle him some decent food. It didn't matter to Nat what he ate; his Twi`lek constitution coped with almost anything edible. He just needed to see if they would. As it turned out only one did but he knew that with work and perseverance, he could get her to help him escape.

Being in the same circle also helped as over the years their connection had grown. So much so that she thought that Nat was in love with her. One night she came to his room with some keys to a ship and some weapons that she had stolen from his master as he slept. What she didn't realise was after years enslavement Nat had become very bitter. He hid it well and they hastily made their way to the ship, started the engines and fled the place that had been Nat's captive homeland for so long.

As Nat was exiting the gravity of the planet it dawned on him that bringing her a long had been a mistake; already she was talking about them being together for ever. The very thought sickened him, and for one reason. He turned to her and told her that.. he would never marry anyone because he was enslaved for too long to willing give himself for someone to do it again. She burst into tears and was relentless with her wailing. Nat grew so tired of it that he left the cockpit and went into cargo hold where he had left a pistol, ironically one of the ones she had given him to aid their escape, and went back telling he to shut up. She refused and Nat's anger took hold and shot her. With her last breath she asked him “did you ever love me?” Nat's simple reply was “Never.” He casually stepped over her, leaving her body where she fell and went back to the cockpit. After finally making it into the orbit of the planet, Nat jettisoned her corpse from the ship and set a course for his future.
