Tegan Bosbe aka Noble Captain Nexu
Tholothian Colonist(Politico)
- Tholothian species is in the Force and Destiny supplement Unlimited Power, the sourcebook for the Mystic career path.
- Commander career path and Figurehead specialization are in the Age of Rebellion core rulebook.
Tegan was born to a Noble family on Tholoth, the family had made their money when Tholoth was transitioning from their agrarian society to tourism after joining the Galactic Republic. The family owned large amounts of land that were converted into luxury estates for the elite. He lived an easy life for his early years. He attended a military academy where he learned the basics of spacefaring and was given an honorary title in the military, though he chose to return to his family's business. He married young to a woman named Zida and had two children, Ronasi and Lera.
Under the Empire profits started dwindling. Unlike the Republic, the Empire simply took what they wanted. The Bosbe were respected enough to not simply be made prisoners by the Empire, though they were expected to serve their needs and help keep the other Tholothians in check. Even though the business struggled the family managed to keep up their lifestyle. When he was 27 his parents died when their transport ship was caught in an attack leaving him in charge of the family business. He ran the business for a few years, but could not stand accommodating the Empire, who he blamed for his parents death. His wife had grown accustomed to her lifestyle and was not willing to live a more modest life and flee the planet. With his income reduced and a family unwilling to change their lifestyle he grew increasingly dissatisfied with his current situation. One day while at the bank, attempting to get a loan to keep up his lifestyle, the bank was robbed by a marauder. Tegan was in awe of the event and became enamored with the idea of the freedom of space, he began planning his new life on his own.
He attended a gala to attract more clients to his luxury estates when it was attacked, this time however it was not up to chance. He had a set of armor commissioned to hide his identity and purchased some droids to enact his plan. He had a droid wear his armor and during the party the droids crashed in and took Tegan hostage, threatening his life and robbing the other guests. The droids then escaped back to Tegan’s ship, Starwind Pleasure Yacht, and fled to the outer rim. He started adventuring as Captain Nexu and hasn’t looked back. His wife hired a bounty hunter to rescue him from himself.
Tegan has a commanding presence and what he lacks in experience he makes up with his ability to inspire those around him. He is something of a gentleman and will not harm people as long as they are cooperative, he has been given the moniker "Noble" Captain Nexu for being well spoken and genuinely keeping his word despite his pirating. Despite not having connections or street smarts he was able to put together a crew by surrounding himself with others who make up for his weaknesses. He has kept a diary of his adventures but from the perspective of a prisoner on the ship to have some deniability if he is ever backed into a corner.
Conflict
- Tegan will have a reward for his safe return issued by his wife, at least at the start of the campaign before the Captain's identity is made public.
- The Captain will also have a dead or alive bounty for pirate related things
- He is viewed as something of a Robin Hood stealing from the rich, but in reality he hits people he knew and didn’t like because he was familiar with their security. He may be liked by people who view him this way.
Notes
- His early pirate success got some items that he was not capable of fencing, he did not know about lining up buyers and now just has some unique art as trophies.
- He doesn’t remove his mask and uses a voice digitizer to protect his identity, not because it is the way. It can be worn by others if Bruce Wayne and Batman need to be in the same place.
- He is something of a gentleman. He and his crew will not harm anyone during a robbery who is cooperative, but will be ruthless if someone needs to be made an example of.
