Name: Vaeros Kasto
Sith Name: N/A
Age: 22
Species: Human
Homeworld: Corellia
Gender: Male
Height: 174cm
Weight: 69kg
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black
Skin Color: White
Appearance: Tall and lean, with a wiry physique and sharp, pronounced features, Vaeros cuts a dignified figure and carries himself with a measured, purposeful air. His mildly wavy hair is kept in a short, low-maintenance cut, while the beginnings of a beard are trimmed into an ever-present five o’clock shadow. His eyes draw attention for the distinctive rings of white that encircle his pupils and bleed outward into the emerald green of his irises.
Personality: Scholarly by nature, Vaeros is driven by his curiosities and the belief that the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake is one of the noblest of callings. His sharp mind can turn itself just as easily to navigation of social environments as to research and experimentation, and he makes a point of learning all he can about people and situations he anticipates having to deal with in more than a passing capacity; as he has come to learn and embrace, knowledge is power. He is far from an introvert, perfectly sociable when he wishes to be, and colours his personal pursuits with a deep-running hedonistic streak.

- Standard-issue Field Kit

Backstory: Vaeros Kasto was born into considerable money. Surrounded by industrious entrepreneurs and academics, his natural inquisitiveness was nurtured into a honed mind for learning. When he wasn’t reading holobooks, he was accompanying his parents and their colleagues on whatever business-related tasks they saw fit to bring him along to, so that he could learn as much as possible about how his parents made their living. As a result, he grew up keeping a finger on the pulse of the family’s business ventures, keeping himself well informed.
Before long, it had become clear that he was bound for higher learning. His natural curiosity was bolstered by a strangely intuitive understanding of most subjects that he dedicated himself to. A star student at all of his schools, he had no difficulty qualifying to enrol at Corellia University, or of paying the tuition fees required of him. A keen interest in history and archaeology had already manifested itself, so Vaeros was all too excited to volunteer for as many expeditions as he could.
It was a stroke of fortune, most would say, that Vaeros had successfully completed his higher studies before grim misfortune began to haunt the family. Aggrieved by a criminal element whom his parents had inadvertently crossed in the line of business, the family had little choice but to sever its ties for the time being and take refuge somewhere out of reach. That somewhere: the Obsidian Union.
With contacts there to help them get back on their feet, the family was quick to begin reestablishing itself, forming new connections and making shrewd investments in its new surroundings. Business was business, after all, and the Galactic Alliance’s territories were not safe for anyone of the Kasto name right at the moment.
It was here, in the midst of fascinating unfamiliarity, that Vaeros was made to understand the truth of his prodigious intuition and understanding of people. As he was preparing to begin lending his mind to the family business and assisting the rebuilding effort, he was approached by a woman robed all in black. She quizzed him extensively about his history and achievements, making predictions and assertions about his life with unnerving accuracy, including his inexplicable talent for reading people and determining when they were being dishonest.
She introduced herself as a member of the New Sith Brotherhood, a great power within the Union, and revealed to Vaeros that she sensed a great latent strength in the Force within him. Appealing to his curiosities, she promised that if he would take to the Brotherhood’s training and was willing to adapt and learn, then all the galaxy’s secrets and pleasures would be his to pursue in time. Utterly intrigued, having heard countless tales of the accomplishments of those who could use the Force, Vaeros agreed to the woman’s terms and was directed to the gargantuan city-station of New Bethrezen, the seat of power of both the Obsidian Union and the Brotherhood. It is here that Vaeros’ tale will begin in earnest.

For his name alone, Vaeros first entered his studies at Corellia University with great expectations weighed upon him. He was quick to meet and exceed these expectations, establishing himself as a prodigious student with a mind for innovation and rigorous pursuit of knowledge. He made a particular name as a researcher, and accompanied numerous archaeological expeditions. Today, he maintains the extensive network of academic contacts first made at this famous institution.- Status: 1 (Corellia University)
While no longer a student of the institution, Vaeros is still recognised as a valued patron by contacts among the faculty. He is in such a position, therefore, that he can quietly lend his expertise to certain academic endeavours in exchange for resources or information.- Resources: 2 (Family assets)
The Kasto family, natives of Corellia, have amassed a small fortune in various business ventures, ranging from CEC stocks to investments in the medical technology industry. Vaeros’ immediate family, however, are now citizens of the Obsidian Union, forced to seek asylum after unknowingly delving into particularly shady dealings and crossing the wrong people. From this new home, they are in the process of rebuilding, establishing new contacts and making whole new investments. Vaeros is able to lean upon these burgeoning resources should he have need of them.
