− | [[image: | + | [[image:Kazaarava.JPG|thumb|left| A young [[Aurelias Kazaar]] in the service of [[Gorgja the Hutt]].]] |
− | + | An Alderaanian by birth, Kazaar grew up on [[Brentaal]]. As a teenager he ran errands for a minor crime lord named Garfield Tidar, until Tidar was killed during a takeover by [[Gorgja the Hutt]]. One rumor suggests, Kazaar was the one who let Gorgja's men into into his compound. | |
− | + | Kazaar's parents were active in protesting the power grabs made by then Chancellor Palpatine. They were both killed during the ''Ghorman Massacre'', when Grand Moff Tarkin (then a younger officer) landed his ship on a group of protestors demonstrating against Palpatine's taxation. Kazaar retaliated, killing three Imperials in an apparent bar fight (the investigation was never completed but Kazaar still spent almost a year in jail). | |
− | + | During his tenure with Gorgja, Kazaar gained some notoriety after claiming the bounty on [[Zimar Tooklutu]], an Aqualish soldier-for-hire, accused of raping a Hapan princess. | |
+ | |||
+ | Two years before the Battle of Yavin, Kazaar left Gorgja and joined [[the Rebel Alliance]] where he was assigned to the [[Rebel Army]] on [[Dantooine]]. He lasted two years before being dishonorably discharged and recruited into Rebel Intel shortly thereafter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Kazaar's penchant for violence has gotten him in trouble several times. After rescuing a child from the Trandoshan slavers, [[Crimson Eclipse]], Kazaar tortured the slaver cell's leader. Years later, Kazaar and his partner [[Estelle Russard]] were hunted down twice by the group for his actions. Kazaar was also imprisoned by [http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=The_Rebel_Alliance#Rebel_Intelligence Rebel Intelligence] for torturing an Imperial officer. He was released by [[The Black Man]] after Russard was captured on a mission. | ||

+ | After his release from Imperial prison, Gorgja the Hutt decided to partner Kazaar with a veteran female bounty hunter named [[Ashley]].

+ | |||
+ | Kazaar's marriage to Adelaide Kasperian was not a well-known event. Given the fact that it was supposed to have been disolved a short time after it was effected, this is no real surprise. The pair met on Nar Shadda, at Gorgja's Palace, while Kazaar was an employee of the Hutt Crime Lord. Adelaide was a dancer who caught the eye of the nefarious bounty hunter at a time when he was suffering a terrible personal loss, namely the violent death of his lover and partner, Ashley. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Their marriage was short and bittersweet, ending when Adelaide told him she didn't love him anymore and that she'd cheated on him with a soldier. When Kazaar was done taking his frustration out on the man Adelaide claimed she'd slept with, his wife was gone. Kazaar spent a month searching for her, but eventually gave up and returned to his boozing ways. His entrance into the Rebel Army/Intelligence kept him from truly spiraling down. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Service In The Rebel Army==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Shortly after Adelaide's disappearance Kazaar joined the Rebel Army as a way of starting his own private war against the Empire. His service is known for two incidents: one when he was involved with several skirmishes against Imperials during the resistance at [[Corellia]]. The second, and more infamous, happened during the Battle of Kuat when his commanding officer, Captain Pax Harkan, discovered Kazaar torturing an Imperial Officer for information on the ''TIE Interceptor''. Kazaar was immediately arrested and dishonorably discharged. Recruited to [http://www.sw-fans.net/wiki/index.php?title=The_Rebel_Alliance#Rebel_Intelligence Rebel Intelligence] shortly afterwards. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Kazaar is primarily partnered with [[Estelle Russard]], serving as both her bodyguard and driver. The duo's partnership is odd considering Kazaar's abrasiveness and Estelle's more thoughtful actions, yet the two complement each other very well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Both Kazaar and Estelle have saved each other's life several times. The first came on Mastala, where Kazaar teamed up with [[The Black Man]], the mysterious head of Rebel SpecOps, to rescue Estelle after she was kidnapped by Ghlar Timander after a failed mission. Estelle had been beaten harshly by her captors and Kazaar blasted his way into the mercenary encampment, killing all but Timander who escaped with Kazaar's old nemesis [[Kimiiki Crei]]. Timander's body was discovered a week later, filleted and skinned, a story Kazaar only smiles savagely at. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The second rescue was Estelle on Kazaar.

Estelle later rescued Kazaar and Lahakka from the clutches of the slaver gang, Crimson Eclipse, who Kazaar had run into before, and the three escaped on Estelle's new ship 'Apparition' to Bothuwai where Kazaar received treatment for his injuries. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Adelaide's re-emergence into Kazaar's life came at a time when, for the most part, his own was on track and had a semblance of order. Her arrival, and subsequent revelation that they had a son, had the understandably chaotic effect sending him into an emotional tailspin, the ramifications of which are yet to be completely revealed. When the now ex-ex-wife told him the crime lord [[Kimiiki Crei]] held his son hostage, Kazaar responded in his usual form of tracking down the Albino to his mansion, while Adelaide and Estelle rescued his son. After an intense battle, Kazaar killed what he thought was Crei only to discover it was really a Human Replica Droid. Crei was still alive. | ||
+ | |||

An Alderaanian by birth, Kazaar grew up on Brentaal. As a teenager he ran errands for a minor crime lord named Garfield Tidar, until Tidar was killed during a takeover by Gorgja the Hutt. One rumor suggests, Kazaar was the one who let Gorgja's men into into his compound.
Kazaar's parents were active in protesting the power grabs made by then Chancellor Palpatine. They were both killed during the Ghorman Massacre, when Grand Moff Tarkin (then a younger officer) landed his ship on a group of protestors demonstrating against Palpatine's taxation. Kazaar retaliated, killing three Imperials in an apparent bar fight (the investigation was never completed but Kazaar still spent almost a year in jail).
During his tenure with Gorgja, Kazaar gained some notoriety after claiming the bounty on Zimar Tooklutu, an Aqualish soldier-for-hire, accused of raping a Hapan princess.
Two years before the Battle of Yavin, Kazaar left Gorgja and joined the Rebel Alliance where he was assigned to the Rebel Army on Dantooine. He lasted two years before being dishonorably discharged and recruited into Rebel Intel shortly thereafter.
Kazaar's penchant for violence has gotten him in trouble several times. After rescuing a child from the Trandoshan slavers, Crimson Eclipse, Kazaar tortured the slaver cell's leader. Years later, Kazaar and his partner Estelle Russard were hunted down twice by the group for his actions. Kazaar was also imprisoned by Rebel Intelligence for torturing an Imperial officer. He was released by The Black Man after Russard was captured on a mission.

The two were hesitant to work with each other, but became close allies and, eventually, an 'item'. They were once given the task of hunting down the Jedi Master Loklorien s'Ilancy (Ashley herself may have been Force sensitive).
Their partnership lasted almost seven years before Ashley was brutally murdered in a hotel room. Kazaar never found the killer, and blames himself for her death.

Kazaar's marriage to Adelaide Kasperian was not a well-known event. Given the fact that it was supposed to have been disolved a short time after it was effected, this is no real surprise. The pair met on Nar Shadda, at Gorgja's Palace, while Kazaar was an employee of the Hutt Crime Lord.

Service In The Rebel Army
Shortly after Adelaide's disappearance Kazaar joined the Rebel Army as a way of starting his own private war against the Empire. His service is known for two incidents: one when he was involved with several skirmishes against Imperials during the resistance at Corellia. The second, and more infamous, happened during the Battle of Kuat when his commanding officer, Captain Pax Harkan, discovered Kazaar torturing an Imperial Officer for information on the TIE Interceptor. Kazaar was immediately arrested and dishonorably discharged. Recruited to Rebel Intelligence shortly afterwards.
Partnership With Estelle Russard
- Aurelias Kazaar: "Ya know, Kid. Only a certain type o'person would hang 'round here. Belargic send ya?"
- Estelle Russard: "You aren't supposed to be here."
- ―Estelle Russard's first encounter with Kazaar{{#if:Rescue Mission: Birdsong|[src]}}
Kazaar is primarily partnered with Estelle Russard, serving as both her bodyguard and driver. The duo's partnership is odd considering Kazaar's abrasiveness and Estelle's more thoughtful actions, yet the two complement each other very well.
Both Kazaar and Estelle have saved each other's life several times. The first came on Mastala, where Kazaar teamed up with The Black Man, the mysterious head of Rebel SpecOps, to rescue Estelle after she was kidnapped by Ghlar Timander after a failed mission. Estelle had been beaten harshly by her captors and Kazaar blasted his way into the mercenary encampment, killing all but Timander who escaped with Kazaar's old nemesis Kimiiki Crei. Timander's body was discovered a week later, filleted and skinned, a story Kazaar only smiles savagely at.
The second rescue was Estelle on Kazaar. After an arranged meeting between the Alliance and Trandoshan leadership was crashed by the Imperials, Estelle, Kazaar, and the wookie diplomat, Lahakka, escaped their destroyed ship only to crash land on Trandosha, Kazaar severely injuring his ribs and ankle. Estelle later rescued Kazaar and Lahakka from the clutches of the slaver gang, Crimson Eclipse, who Kazaar had run into before, and the three escaped on Estelle's new ship 'Apparition' to Bothuwai where Kazaar received treatment for his injuries.

The relationship between Aurelias Kazaar and Kimiiki Crei has always been acrimonious at its best, and downright hateful at its worst.

Crei had always had an eye on Kazaar's partner Ashley, but the affection was never returned and the young Kazaar always viewed Crei as a lech who gave bounty hunters a bad name.

Dasquian Belargic has commented he, "respected the man...but the last thing that a freshly graduated agent needed was a jaded old-timer like Aurelias leading her astray...If you were going to bend and break the rules, you had to first learn what they were."

He claims to not be a hero, yet has been known to risk it all for someone (or some thing)."
Years From Now
- "Last reports she’d had of Cimmerian had been discouraging to say the least. He’d always lived hard, drank hard. Estelle feared the last few jagged pieces of self that remained of the Kazaar she had known may have been drowned completely by his obstinate and self-destructive habits."
- ―Estelle Russard on Kal Cimmerian/Aurelias Kazaar
Kal Cimmerian
In the 'Years From Now' storyline, Kazaar is using the name Kal Cimmerian due to his cover being blown some years before. A bitter drunk, he has found some semblence of a life on Brentaal. He is forced back into action when the virus outbreak threatens the planet he calls, "his own".
Tattoos
- The symbol of Ikas-Adno, the developer of the 22-B Nightfalcon speeder bike, surrounded by some sort of 'winged' design.
- The remnants of a Rebel insignia (destroyed during a rescue mission to Mastala).
- It's rumored Kazaar has an Imperial insignia on his right buttocks, although the reason for it is unknown. When asked, Kazaar's response was, "So th'Empire can know where they can kiss it."
Equipment
Kazaar has a large arsenal on both of his ships, but he also has the odd tendency to give his weapons 'names', mainly after women he once knew.
The Twins
- "Damn those were fine lookin' weapons"
- ―Aurelias Kazaar on 'The Twins'
'The Twins' are a pair silver, pearl-handled Bryar Pistols named 'Vera and Ashley'. It's believed these may be named in honor of his mother and his dead partner. Kazaar took the weapons from a fellow hunter named Parbaker, after he tried to kill Kazaar and Ashley.
Other Weapons

- A short vibrosword called 'Dagny'.
