[indent][color=CD7477]Standing at 5' 10" tall, Jeh Lairk was physically fit with an olive tone and prominent scars across his hands and arms. His square face, softly shaped jaw, and light blue eyes were notable features that caught the attention of many. Jeh maintained medium-length, frizzy, black hair which went un-styled—no matter where he went. And he wore ambiguous clothing that was a mixture of professional and informal wear while wearing some jewelry.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=BE494D][b]Senator Lairk[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Being a senator wasn't an easy job as one would've thought. Jeh Lairk had to learn so much about his homeworld's politics and the galaxy in its entirety. In addition, he also learned history and became proficient at writing. But all of the struggles and hardships were worth it. In his time as senator, Jeh managed to form friendships with several senators and established contacts and connections across both Coruscant and Corellia—particularly those in the shipyards.[/color]

[color=BE494D][b]Corellian Engineering[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Besides politics, Jeh learned a few things about engineering in his time at Corellia. He knew how to repair and upgrade certain airspeeders; he tinkered with other senators whenever he wasn't busy with senatorial duties. And he learned things about freighters because he worked on customing a YT-2000 transport, which was stashed back at his home in Coronet City. His friend, Nenror Athis, helped him out by gathering the required parts and maintaining the freighter whenever Jeh was away.[/color]

[color=BE494D][b]Professional Pilot[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Since he was Corellia, it was inevitable that Jeh would've taken an interest in piloting a starship and exploring the galaxy. But before politics got in his way, he knew a lot about flying freighters. And it didn't stop when he became a senator especially since he was working on a YT-2000 transport to modify.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=BE494D][b]Corrupt Senator[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Like many senators in the Galactic Republic, Jeh was guilty of being corrupt and self-indulgent. To him, wealth brought him more happiness than he will ever have in life. He wasn't extremely rich compared to other senators, such as Orn Free Taa, but still lived utter luxury. Enough to keep trouble off of his back. And unless they were at the meetings with the Delegation of 2,000, they didn't know Jeh's actual values and beliefs.[/color]

[color=BE494D][b]Delegate of 2000[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Jeh understood that signing the Petition of 2000 could've meant being accused of treason against the republic. And it would have, for sure, painted a new target on his back. But Jeh didn't care because he was doing to protect democracy against a Chancellor that had so much power over the Republic.[/color]

[color=BE494D][b]Stubborn As A Mule[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Like his father, Jeh Lairk was a stubborn bastard that became more unyielding when he became a senator. And with that dangerous path the Republic found itself in, Jeh challenged the emergency powers that Chancellor Palpatine gained during the Clone Wars. He knew that his life would be difficult opposing the Chancellor, but he had to do it or go against his beliefs.[/color]

[color=BE494D][b]Lone Rebel[/b] -[/color] [color=CD7477]Corellians were always known to have independent minds and often stood against authority for personal reasons. It was no different with Jeh Lairk, who stood against Chancellor Palpatine towards the end of the Clone Wars. He had repeatedly written about how the Chancellor should give up the emergency powers once peace prevailed. But, it unknowingly put him in danger, especially after Order 66.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=CD7477]Being born four years before the start of the Clone Wars, Corellia never saw the brutal fighting between droids and clones since it was inside Republic territory. Nalmun Lairk was a predominant government official on the planet. His son, Jeh Lairk, desired to follow in his father's footsteps at a young age. Educated at prestigious schools on Coronet City and the galactic capital of Coruscant for her education, Jeh secured his first political position as a member of Coronet City council. He severed for seven years until his father died of natural cause, leaving his senator position available. 

While he running for the spot, Jeh learned that his mother used to be a pilot before settling down with her husband. That was when he learned that she used to own a YT-2000 transport before selling it to another Corellian, Nenror Athis. Jeh found the owner working at a nearby shipyard and offered to purchase the transport for him. Instead, his credits were rejected. That was when he thought of a stupid idea: a race around the yards on some airspeeders. If Jeh won the race, he got the transport for half the price. If Nenror won instead, he would've to depart his credits and the custom airspeeder that he had. 

The race was already dangerous enough, but the port authorities ended up involved and caught up to Nenror, whose airspeeder broke down midway through the race. Instead of finishing the race, Jeh turned around and provided a convincing cover story for the authorities. He also provided some credits to ensure that they absolutely saw nothing. Nenror was thankful that his ass was saved and decided to depart with the transport for half the price; yet, Jeh paid full price for it while giving him a little extra. The two became friends since that day and even maintained contact after Jeh left Coronet City.

After being appointed, Jeh Lairk moved back to Coruscant towards the end of the Clone Wars shortly after the battle. His wealth only increased in his time in the capital, which led him to be content and then eventually corrupt. However, as the debts and casualties rose slowly, the senator was becoming tired of the war and pushed for peace with the enemy. He had a deeper concern Chancellor Palpatine since gaining so much power during the Clone War especially with his control over the Galactic Banking Clan. So, in a surprising move, Jeh signed the Petition of 2000 that stated the Chancellor should give up the emergency powers acquired throughout the war. 

Afterward, he became one of the Delegation of 2000 and formed acquaintances with several other senators, including Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Padmé Amidala. Then, Order 66 happened. Jeh watched from his balcony when smoke rose from the Jedi Temple, wondering what was going on. The following day, the Supreme Chancellor issued a special session of Congress to address what happened.[/color][/indent]
