―Aurelias Kazaar

Aurelias Kazaar is a undercover Rebel spy and semi-retired bounty hunter. He has been a member of the Rebel Alliance since its first formation, serving in both the Rebel Army and Intel. He is currently partnered with Estelle Russard.

In Character

Post-Reset

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.

Kazaar's service in the Rebel army 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 RebelOps shortly afterwards.

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 Intel for torturing an Imperial officer. He was released by The Black Man after Russard was captured on a mission.

Partnership With Ashley

Marriage To Adelaide

Adelaide Kasperian-Kazaar, the ex-ex-wife.

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.

"Aurelias Kazaar"

―"Whatta ya mean we're still married? Ya sent me th'divorce documents and I signed and sent 'em back.Don't tell me ya didn't frackin' file 'em!"

The pair met on Nar Shadda, at Gorgjia'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 his lover and partner, Ashley.

Adelaide's re-emrgence into Kazaar's life came at a time when, for the most part, was own was on track and had a semblence 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.

Service In The Rebel Army

Partnership With Estelle Russard

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.

Psychological Profile

Kazaar's mental makeup has been the subject of much debate within the Alliance. 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." Grace Van-Derveld has taken a harsher approach towards the Rebel agent, calling Kazaar, "a hothead" and someone who didn't deserve the freedom he'd been given by Belargic. Early in their partnership, Estelle Russard believed Kazaar was "damaged" by something in his past.

A report by psychologist Webb Kovalev sheds more light on Kazaar's mental makeup. It states Kazaar is a troublesome case but he may not be crazy. Kovalev believes Kazaar's time in an Imperial prison helped shape his viewpoint on life. The Rebel psychologist also says Kazaar's outlook has always been rather strange:

"(His) code of ethics are completely his own and almost contradictory... He (ab)uses alcohol and tobacco; yet will not indulge in the use of either stims or spice. He has no problem with working with Gorgja the Hutt, but despises slavers. He has no problem with the use of torture, but refuses to hurt women. He enjoys hunting (what kind I will not bother to speculate) but won't hurt innocents. He has a definite problem with authority, yet completes any task given him (albeit in his own unique way). He has made comments about his (lack of) intelligence, yet is an excellent deducer. He has few friends yet is well respected. 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

Kazaar as Kal Cimmerian.

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

• An Imperial Repeater Rifle named 'Ophelia'. Where this comes from is unknown.

• An EE-3 carbine rifle he calls 'Evey' for the Mandalorian Nurse Eve Clay, the 'fourth toughest woman' he ever met
