Exeden Croft, or 'Crofty' as he prefers to be known, speaks rarely about his past. Very little interesting about it, he tells people, usually just before ordering another round of drinks for everyone. The only past he's interested in is the kind that can be sold onwards for a generous profit and a case of good liquor.

The truth is that his past isn't much worth talking about. Born on Balmorra to a large and poor family, he fell in with a rough crowd from an early age. He ran with those folks for a few years, honing his skills as a petty thief, until an unfortunate run-in with the law set him on a different path. Looking for some salvation (and escape from the recriminations of his dad), he joined with a freight and transportation company.

He spent years in-and-out of different companies, finding himself in security roles. Fighting off smugglers and pirates, the usual. Eventually, he was kicked off his last contract for running a couple of scams on-ship for some easy credits. Looking for something that wasn't the drudgery of life on ship, he turned to a more 'fluid' kind of work. He'd always had a liking for things from the past. And there were always wealthy, secretive clients who'd pay top credits to own a piece of Galactic history.

He took the name Exeden Croft and started his career in 'acquisitions,' focusing on historical objects. Unfortunately, for every success he had there was also a set-back. Lots of war-stories, regrets and scars on his body. Now, approaching his old age, Exeden is worried about how much longer he can keep up this game and whether he'll be able to retire.

His goal? Earn some major paydays, buy a sickeningly comfortable town-house (or penthouse apartment, manor, etc.) and spend his last days in ridiculous, decadent debauchery, drowning in drinks and expensive cigarras. That's if he survives.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Exeden is outwardly affable, charismatic and friendly. He loves to joke and tell stories, boasting about his few successes and sharing his many failures with a likeable aplomb. Privately, he can be much grumpier, particularly when it comes to work. The regrets of the past loom large. His as-yet inability to provide a stable source of income has left him with growing anxiousness over his future, in a way that he didn't have as a younger man.

A B I L I T I E S

Crofty is an experienced pilot and shootist. Working for the logistics corps gave him a good working understanding of freighters, as well as rudimentary combat training. This has only increased with his work in the seedy underground of antiquities hunting.

His knowledge of Galactic history is slapdash and informal, but he possesses an uncanny knack for ascertaining the provenance of an artefact, as well as a rough market value.
