 Standing at an impressive six foot, seven inches tall Javi is a giant of man. Broad shouldered and muscular he is a sight to behold. He is covered in tattoos which conceal the frostbite scars traced across his weather beaten skin. His black hair his shaved away and replaced by ink, giving him an ominous appearance even outside of his battle armor.

Skills: Javi Knol is a competent freighter pilot, and ground vehicle operator. His years of experience in development facilities on Corellia, aided by an innate talent in their operation grants him a level of expertise over his fellows. Conversely, Javi wields a stolen Imperial T-21 LRR rifle which he can use to devastating effect. The automatic blaster rifle is effective in mowing down entire squad size elements while practically vomiting out hundreds of laser rounds downrange. Although the weapon is large and unwieldy Javi's massive bulk is perfect for lurching the oversized firearm about in order to suppress the enemy from multiple angles.

Weaknesses: Javi's skills are very one-dimensional. Although he is a talented small transport pilot he has little to answer with against light snub fighters, or assault boats. He is particularly vulnerable in space, where his phobia of the eternal vacuum haunts him as well. On the battlefield his large size and reckless manner makes him an easy mark to skilled sharpshooters amongst the enemy. Meanwhile his chosen weapon, while adept at suppressing large numbers, is vulnerable to flanking assaults, which would easily overrun Javi's position if he didn't have supporting rifles. He is also weak in urban and close quarters environments, with only a DL-18 to protect himself. Also, despite his seemingly large size and immense strength, Javi is not a martial artist by any means. Against an opponent who knows what they are doing beyond the basics in hand to hand combat, Javi is remarkably easy to take down. His only defense is overpowering them through brute force.

Backstory:

 	An employee of the Corellian Defense Contractors Javi started off his military career as a young industry worker in the Corellian shipyards piloting the supply ships and construction craft. At the time Javi was helping to build Imperial warships, of immense size and fire capacity. He saw no wrong in this, the Empire gave him a job, and a living creating their cruisers; and as long as they didn't bother him to much he was happy to continue living just as he was. He built ships, paid his taxes, and eked out a life for himself on his home world in a boring, but content fashion.

	That was until the Rebellion spies arrived. They stole something, sabotaged something, they did something that angered and terrified the Empire to no end. There was no warning. In a moment an Imperial officer gave the word and open fired on a working party where the Rebels were known to be intermingled within. The callus act was so sudden and unexpected that no one even tried to escape. They could only watch in horror as their friends were obliterated before their eyes and the Imperial guns they had mounted onto the warships were then turned on them. The Rebel spies and nearly four hundred Corellian workers were massacred that day, with only twelve survivors trapped in the carnage, concealed from the Empire's vengeful turbolasers. Among these twelve was an oxygen deprived, and furious Javi Knol.

	It was several hours later before junkers attempted to scavenge from the hundreds of wrecks floating in the upper atmosphere of Corellia. There they found a frozen Javi, barely alive from a shattered life support of his depot-supplier. Miraculously the tough dog survived, albeit with slight damage in his mental capacities. Javi became angry and reckless, prone to sudden mood swings and violent tendencies. His intelligence remained, but his ability to feel empathy was nearly entirely replaced by a vicious loathing of the Empire. Once he was nursed back to health Javi left Corellia to enlist with the Rebellion. He wasn't well liked amongst the "nobler" members of the Rebellion, he was considered, and rightly so, to be more of a Saw Gerrera style resistance fighter. As a result he was shunted around quite a bit by Rebel units. His eagerness to see dead Imperials for a mere personal slight was seen as dangerous, and shortsighted. His maliciousness was apt to translate into controversial incidents, such as when Javi handed out deathsticks to, and then mowed down a line of unarmed Imperial prisoners. Alternatively Javi's only fear it seemed was the vacuum of space, and his courage on the ground was unprecedented making him a valuable frontline grunt and the Rebel Alliance recognized this. In the end he was a perfect fit for Resol Squad.
