Kotep "Char" Solus is a Clone born to serve in The Grand Army of the Republic on Bakura. Served for several months in the 724th Airborne, he served a tour of duty against The Revenant Armada before Bakura established it's current metropolis. A small Sith force captured him while on Tatooine, and through force manipulation used Char as a puppet to commit several acts of terrorism and bombings to the city of Bakura, all now off file. He was then arrested, and "executed" by a GAR officer, and tossed into the Bakura Sewers. The Sith reappeared and completely wiped his memory and thoughts forcing Char to forget his entire life. He remained, almost dead for a week, until he was discovered by a mysterious stranger who took him to Nar Shaddaa where he was then cared for, and treated. He was there introduced to the Criminal Underworld and became a Mercenary for hire. He explored the galaxy and stumbled upon Kabriel Le-Sanit, who took him into the Black Sun Syndicate, where he is now. He quickly rose, to power to now become a Black Sun Boss alongside Kabriel, and other Black Sun Bosses aiding in the efforts to grow the Syndicates, where is now.
Years in The Grand Army
Born, like all clones, "Char" was raised under close supervision by cloners creating the next generation of Clone Soliders for The Grand Army of the Republic. He trained quickly under close watch by an exiperenced clone known as "Striker" who introduced the young clone into the 724th where Char quickly became at home. Bakura back in those times, was still just a small settlement with the GAR outpost, a large landing platform, and several small buildings.
Basic Training
Char spent his days as a Clone Trooper at Basic Training and in simulation rooms. He studied for hours on end, learning about Republic laws, regulations, and history. He was trained in several combat forms, and was given his first weapon; the standard issue DC-15. He was up every morning before most of the other cadets, performing physical training, drills, and getting an early start bashing holograms/droids in the simulator. This went on for a good month before he finally had the time to graduate, and meet Yuri, the Commanding Clone of GAR.
The 724th Omega
After graduating, he became a clone Private, and officially made a member of the 724th Omega Airborne. He was given special armor, and a parachutte with which he used to make several combat drops. They spent months training, and preparing for a deployment and full frontline combat, but it never came. They spent days, and weeks on diplomatic missions to other systems... It wasn't until a one cold snowy day outside Bakura did combat finally come. Omega dropped in, and safeguarded itself against what was believed a "Rev" from the Revenant Armada.
The Capture/Betrayal
Char spent his following days learning about The Revenant Armada, and more so, Sith in general. He was on a lone patrol one day, when he was captured by a mysterious Sith group. They tied him, and took him to Korriban where we was tortured, and suffered Force Manipluation. He was then controlled by a Sith Lord and turned into a Husk where he was ordered to travel back to Bakura, and strike at the GAR. He did this without question, and bombed two sites on Bakura, which later was disclosed and seen as "accidents". He was arrested by the 501st, who quickly attempted to interogate him, but to no success. The commanding 501st Officer ordered he be taken to the Bakura sewers and shot. A 333rd naval clone, carried out to order, taking Char away and shooting him in the chest to bleed out in the dirty sewer...
A Second Chance
Char was presumed dead, and his records lost forever within the Grand Army. They never even knew it was him, who commited the acts of Terrorism against Bakura that day. He was luckily spared by a Mysterious Stranger, who took him to Nar Shaddaa to rest, heal, and relax. Char suffered a horrible Memory Wipe, which left him brain dead, so he could never remember the Sith who made him suffer. He would never know of his history in GAR, or what he truly was until later.
The Recovery, and a new life.
Char was left in the dirty sewer for an entire week, before he was found by a roaming traveler who took him back to his ship. He took Char and gave him a new Commando Armor from The Republic to use. Char was brain dead, and could remember nothing. A week later, Char's memory gradually began to return, but only his basic memories of how to walk, talk, eat, sleep, and other necessary functions of living. He layed in bed for the next 3 weeks, only speaking when he could, but always thanking the man who saved him. He was taken to Nar Shaddaa where he learned much all over again. Galactic History, How to Fight, How to Steal, and other underworld traits needed to live. After a Month, Char was transformed from a Soldier, to a backwater Mercenary. He renamed himself, giving himself his old name after reading off a dogtag he had from GAR.
Zonama Sekot Ranger
Char needed to find a new life, he wanted a purpose, something to fight for. He sought across the Galaxy something to do besides killing, and he finally found it one day stumbling upon Zonama Sekot. Zonama's population were peaceful, loving Potentium Knights who needed additional forces to keep themsevles safe. Here, he became a Zonama Sekot Ranger, along with 3 others. He formed a squad, and protected the planet, and it's people for a good time. He learned values, emotions, and other useful traits he lost from his mind wipe.
Leaving Zonama to be Lone Wolf
Zonama was never in any danger, since it was heavily defended and full of constant activity. It was never a world that could be taken by force, so Char sooner or later made the choice to leave. Zonama would be in good hands with the rest of the Rangers, while he continued to search the Stars for answers to his past. It was around this time, his memory began to really come back, as he witnessed glimpses of his GAR days, and the fight against The Revenant in his mind.
The Black Suns- His World
He traveled for Months on end, searching for the answers he demanded across the stars. He was on Ruusan, Dantooine, Coruscant, Korriban, Naboo, Tatooine, Bakura, and other systems searching for what had actually happened to him. He finally one day had a massive memory flash, which revealed his clone nature. He never accepted the fact he was a Clone, but yet embraced it to make himself a better man. It was soon after he met Kabriel Le-Sanit, Rorshac, Eleazar, and other Black Sun members joining their ranks, while also getting to know a Mandalorian named Caine Rexan.
Introduction to The Suns
The name The Black Suns was not new, nor was it old to Char's ears. He had heard of several priate attacks in the past, but never made anything of it. It wasn't until he stumbled upon a Black Sun Boss, Kabriel Le-Sanit did he actually consider joining them. It was on Tatooine, Mos Espa where the deal was struck to join the Suns. He started off a simple Merc, working odd jobs and missions for Kabriel, and Rorshac "Red". He moved from system to system obeying his two bosses with ease, feeling the usual authority he once felt in GAR.
Becomming a Regime
Char became fixed on living on Mos Espa, where he normally spent his days. He was so custom to the life of The Black Sun he requested to stay full time. This made the bosses happy to hear, and with all of Char's hardwork was made a Black Sun Regime, making him a type of Black Sun Officer. Char was honored, and felt right at home with the new job,quickly taking control of battles, and tactics. He soon came into contact with a two of his now closest companions, Trid, and Ri-Ja. Trid and Char at first bumped heads, Trid, was a human male, and did not like Char's tactics, and Char not liking Trid's obediance. They quickly learned that together, they were far greater then apart. The two became good friends and allies,and continue to this day. Ri-Ja, a Miraluka female, was usually quiet,obediant, and very violent. Char had no problems with Ri-Ja besides her occasional bloodthrist, but once they continued to work close together, saw the greater sides of her nature. The two have respected one another quickly. Char continued to make more allies such as Anthisium, a dark jedi type man with great skill, Katt a purple twi'lek with an attitude, and more. Char had officially made the Black Suns his home.
Learning and Becomming a Mandalorian
Char for a great time, had been interested in Mandalorians. He knew Clones had based their customs on Mandalorian culture, and some words and phrases in GAR were taken strait out of Mando'a. He met a man named Caine Rexan, who at first looked at Char calling him a "Di'kut,wanna be Dhette". Time passed, and the two actually became good friends, Char learning many things from Rexan,respecting him the most, Rexan becomming more of a Father figure for Char. It was this man who made the choice final for Char,to become a Mandalorian. Sadly, Caine Rexan was killed in an honor duel... Char painted his Beskar'gam red, in honor of his Father figure, the Man who taught him to be strong.
The Rise to Power- The 4th Black Sun Boss
Char's transformation to a Mandalorian was quick, and easy. He followed the Resol'nare and accepted the culture. Char was named Kotep Solus, meaning "Brave One" in Mando'a, being once called that by Caine. His new, full name, was Kotep "Char" Solus, and he took the name with honor. It was after he became Mandalorian, was when he officially was made a Black Sun Boss, out of the blue. Kabriel Le-Sanit believed Char was the perfect newblood to add into the boss family. He rose to the challenge and now oversees most, if not all Black Sun operations. He has made several dealings with several goverments and systems.
A Blast from the Past
One day as Char attempted to save his friends on Lehon, he was beat down by Mandalorians and his old friend "Red". He was near death when his old primal instict as a Husk kicked back in. The memories of attacking his fellow clones, and going on a killing spree flooded his mind, as memories of his basic training, childhood, and life went through his head. He awoke to see Ri-Ja stitching him up, but continues now to see numbers and hear voices within his own mind...
The Second Sun Dynasty
Leading The Black Sun
After his dear friend, and partner Kabriel La-Sanit died, Char became the new leader of The Black Sun. He gave up his Mandalorian heritage after being constantly hounded by Mandalorians for being a pirate in the first place. He now rules The Black Sun, fighting for the Galactic Syndicate Union gaining new allies, and enemies...
Fall of The Second Sun Dynasty
Months later, as The Black Sun grew in power, Char was demanded to step down from power, due to being unpirate like. He was accused of turning the Black Suns into a "PMC" and changing The Black Sun image, enraged, he left The Black Sun behind, knowing full well if he was to simply step down it would never be the same, and if he didn't they would try to kill him.
Though he has cut ties with The Black Sun, few are still loyal to him and across the Galaxy word is being spread of his absence. Char leaves with his head high, prepared for what ever the future will now hold, but he knows now... He is once again, free. Leaving his old friends to lead the Suns.
The Next Phase
Char's plans are mysterious and unknown, now free to do as he wishes, with plenty of credits and weaponary. Only time will tell his next move. Will he join a new faction? Will he want vengence or peace? Do his loyalties belong to the Republic, The Sith, The Empire, who does Char now belong to? Or does he now, belong to himself... Only time will tell, where Char will go.
Back to Military Life
Days rolled by, Char thought heavily on his next move. He did not wish to join a major faction, knowing full well he would only be used and taken advantage of, seen as a grunt. He did not want peace, he lusted for conquest, a place he could dominate and control within bounderies. This, is how Char made up his mind to join his good ally, The New Trade Federation who gladly made him one, of the now two Commanders of their faction. He had known Viceroy Drake for a great time, and the two had become good partners, and now with Char, hopes would be that with two Commanders, The NTF would be very better off.
