| Tercer was born to the CEO of an arms manufacturer and his wife on Clak'dor VII several months before the Battle of Endor. Later, though he was too young to understand, his older brother joined the then newly formed Republic and became a pilot, against the father's wishes. Tercer grew up learning the business of military technology from his father who gave him a high posting in the company. His education went well, and he excelled at negotiating deals with potential customers with his presentation skills. Though his father was elated at his negotiating abilities, Tercer's attention was more focused on diplomacy and visiting other worlds.
When Merr-Sonn Munitions acquired his father's company, Tercer was promoted steadily and soon became an influential young man on Clak'dor VII. When his father died his brother, now a successful pilot, visited home and introduced Tercer to the New Republic. When his brother was KIA by the Imperials, Tercer decided to dedicate his career to the Republic and ran for numerous offices. After failing several times, he was elected Senator to the New Republic representing Clak'dor VII.
Kensington prefers galactic politics to domestic, and is a notorious hard-liner when it comes to the military. Though his domestic views are neither liberal or conservative, he is staunch in his views against the Imperial factions. The proximity of Clak'dor VII to the Imperial Sovereignty gives credibility to his demeanor.
He believes in a strong central government, and does not fear the rise of another Palpatine, though he looks out for those who could become one. Tercer thinks that the Jedi should not become the puppets of the Republic, and that things are fine the way they are concerning them. He is continually frustrated by Senators from worlds which are in no danger from the Imperials, who see him as a warmonger. He does not press war, but stresses the need to be prepared, and the use of force to punish enemies of the New Republic.
