Kol Nax
Species
Gotal
Gender
Male
Age
40
Appearance
Brown furred Gotal standing at 2.1 Meters with large conical horns. He has orange eyes and the gray-brown skin that's typical in his species. He wears brown Armorweave, as Armorweave can protect from Blasters while remaining light enough for him to easily chase down his targets.
Personality
Kol Nax prefers Vibroblades over Blasters because he sees blasters as too impersonal. He believes that the point of fighting is to win a fight, not demonstration of fancy technique. He doesn't care about politics, seeing governments as a big source of Bounties that he can cash in on. However, he refuses to join the Guild, as many lucrative Bounties are posted by individuals who do not go through Guild channels. He also refuses to take Bounties posted by pirates due to his home being destroyed by scum like them.

Background
Born on the Outer Rim world Zegara, Kol Nax was born in Lucky Barrens, one of the larger ore mining towns on the planet. Kol thought that he has nothing forward to look forward to in life than mining ore for the rest of his life like his father. This all changed when he and several others returned late from the mines to find the town reduced to burning buildings and charred corpses. Marshal Kekstad told Kol that Nurg Destree, the Mayor of Lucky Barrens, refused to pay annual tribute to a pirate gang called the Fire Talons and they had decided to make an example of the town before succumbing to his wounds, the blaster pistols in his hands having been emptied during the attack. Kol helped the others bury the dead before grabbing what few possessions weren't destroyed or stolen and headed to the nearest town with a spaceport. He sold everything except the clothes on his back and bought passage offworld, recognizing that there was nothing left for him on Zegara. He looked back at his homeworld one last time before the transport went to Hyperspace.
Kol Nax arrived on the volcanic moon Zeroth and was approached by a Kel Dor. The Kel Dor introduced himself as Xaa Gilas and explained to the Gotal that he was looking for new fighters after his last one was "accidentally" killed by his opponent, offerring him a big cut of the profit if he signed on with him. Kol accepted and was escorted to a small building. He was introduced to Nautolan named Zinn Leda and was told to change out of his miner's clothes. The Gotal returned in more appropriate attire and was handed a wooden sword. Kol Nax engaged the Nautolan and was defeated with fast and precise strikes, Zinn saying "Forget your preconceived notions of armed combat, of two honorable warriors fighting in accordance with some noble code. That mindset will get you killed. The purpose of fighting is to win a fight, not to demonstrate some fancy technique. How you attack and defend depends on your opponent or the terrain and situation. Act as the wind when your enemy is like a tree. Act as a mountain when your enemy is like the wind." before helping him up. Training would continue until Zinn Leda decided that Kol was ready, giving him a two-handed Vibroblade.
Kol Nax and Xaa Gilas arrived on the Black Sun controlled rogue planet Grilla and was approached by a Rodian. "Xaa. Judgin' by your friend's attire, I can safely assume that he is not here to gamble at the Sabacc tables or watch the Podraces. I hope he fights better than Dressk. Ax Phaask, my own fighter, is very angry that he won't be getting a rematch with him, so don't expect him to pull his punches if he faces your fighter in the arena." The Rodian said to Xaa in a hostile tone before heading to the arena. Xaa Gilas told Kol that the Rodian is Kragg Iantoc, head of the Star Ghosts (a gang working for the Pyke Syndicate), before heading to the arena with the Gotal in tow. Xaa paid the entry fee before heading to his seat while Kol Nax followed several other new arrivals to the waiting area. He entered the arena and faced off with Dug twins named Gowsara and Togan, both of them duel wielding Vibroblades. "Maroc Gek will enjoy seeing the look on his rival's face when we defeat his fighter and claim the pot for ourselves." Togan said to Kol before he and his brother engaged the Gotal. They were able to keep Kol on the backfoot for a while, but Toban grew impatient and struck at the wrong moment, allowing his larger opponent to block the blade and knock him to the ground, Gowsara quickly being defeated without his brother to keep the Gotal distracted. Kol Nax would defeat gladiator after gladiator until he found himself facing off with Koarrgh, a Kaleesh on the payroll of Galba The Hutt. Koarrgh told Kol that he expects him to put up a better fight than Ax Phaask before charging at the Gotal. The two fighters clashed, exchanging blow after blow until Koarrgh found an opening and landed a blow that knocked out his less experienced opponent.
Kol Nax opened his eyes to find himself in a Bacta Tank aboard a ship, Xaa Gilas telling him that the Gotal would now be working for Galba The Hutt before leaving. Kol assumed that he would be reduced to breaking the legs of debtors once he was fully recovered. Instead, he was tasked with helping Koarrgh bring in Crimdan Grast, a Devaronian who had split off from Galba's organization to form his own gang and began encroaching on the Hutt's remaining territory on Halmon Station. The Gotal accepted the mission, changed into clothingmore suitable for the mission, and headed to Grast's Bar where the head of the Grast Consortium held court as soon as Galba's vessel had docked with the station. Kol Nax was surprised that he was able to walk there without encountering any of Crimdan Grast's thugs and even more surprised when the bouncer let him and Koarrgh into the bar without confiscating their weapons.
Crimdan cleared his throat to speak as he smiled at Kol. "You must be Galba The Hutt's new errand boy. I knew you worked for him the moment the Moon Jewels dropped out of hyperspace. The old slug must be desperate to send his campion and some unproven muscle after a small-timer like me. Every day his condition gets worse. He is already too weak to directly command his top lieutenants while his empire crumbles around him. Join the Grast Consoritum and I'll pay double whatever he offered you. Refuse and my men will send your corpses out the airlock." Crimdan Grast said to Kol Nax and Koarrgh as several thugs pointed their blasters at them. Kol responded by drawing his Vibroblade and charging at the closest thug, immediately cutting down a Rodian, Koaargh slamming his weapon into a Gran's head. He immediately followed up by striking down a Trandoshan and thrusting his blade into a human thug's chest while the Kaleesh slammed the bartender's head into the counter. The fight continued until the surviving thugs decided to cut their losses and ran out of the bar. Crimdan Grast tried to bribe Kol and was knocked out for his trouble. When the Devaronian regained consciousness in front of Galba The Hutt, he begged for his life, offering to pay quadruple the Hutt's usual cut. Lazaal (the Duros who served as Galba's Majordomo) told him that he had already signed his death warrant. Galba died a month later and his organization collapsed, Kol Nax deciding to become a Bounty Hunter after being freed from his contract.
Kol Nax saw the face of a figure named Cornel Grim. The Fire Talons had attacked Black Sun and the resulting bounty had resulted in the decimation of the gang, with Cornel being the only leader left. He accepted the Bounty and immediately headed to meet with an Ithorian Information Broker named Tabbigg.
