MACKENZIE TALLEN
Thirties :: Mandalorian :: Embassy Security
Currently on: Jovan Station


Character Background


The son of Alec Tallen, and half-sister to Mara Tallen.
Formerly an agent with the Imperial Security Bureau. He retired/resigned amid the Starkiller crisis, and participated in the Liberation of Mandalore.
He was chosen as part of the Mandalorian delegation to Jovan Station, working for Ambassador Beviin Goza (Mand'alor's sister). Officially he is her aide; unofficially he is there to protect her, and keep his eyes open for diplomatically useful information.


Raw Material


Though many people know/suspect that Mack was once part of the Imperial Security Bureau, he usually either denies it, or lies outrageously, deriving some amount of enjoyment out of stringing people's imaginations along. Think Garak on Deep Space Nine
He is a member of Clan Koine, which means he is "related" to Amaros Koine, Amos Iakona, and Mace Riko.
Mack has embraced the Mandalorian "rules" from the Supercommando Codex, swapping them in as a replacement for the Imperial protocols he used to follow. While Mack isn't exactly a stickler for following the rules (he had a reputation for improvising and deviating from mission back with the ISB), he does have an almost obsession with knowing the rules, mostly so that he can gauge how much trouble he will be in for his actions.


Plot Ideas


Getting to know people on Jovan.
Some run-ins with Security / Intel? General "we've got our eye on you" stuff?
Bar fights?
Wouldn't mind setting up some sort of Bashir/Garak style "lunch companions" dynamic with someone.
Helping out in a crisis. He may not be Alliance, but he is useful.
Problematic encounters with the Imperial delegation.
Problematic encounters with the Goridan Reach delegation.
Things from his past coming back to haunt him? An old flame he knows is ISB/Intel showing up on the station, but he can't out them without publicly admitting his past?
Going to great lengths to dissuade people from knowing about his past. Shady deals? Cover-ups?



Existing Relationships


Alec Tallen - His father. The Mandalorian Ambassador to Bothawui. (I think?)
Mara Tallen - His (baby) half-sister. Currently stationed on the Novgorod, which docks at Jovan occasionally.
Mace Riko - The delegate from Clan Koine that sits on the High Council. Kind of an estranged uncle that you never knew you had. Also a former Clone Commando.
Ana'Sera Beliq - Mack's former partner in ISB Investigations.
