Talia Al'Saif
I knew my time was over the moment I saw her. I couldn’t make out her face, but those eyes. They haunted me to my core. They were ice, shattering through my almost tangible layer of venality. I thought of all the corruption I had partaken in, all the cheating and all the questionable methods to get to where I was today. It seemed so delicious at the time, so easy, as if stepping on stones to cross a creek. These stones were lives. These stones were people. These stones were the insurmountable efforts of others that I stood upon.
I saw all of this reflected in her eyes, the haunting steel eyes that came to see me at my last moments. I almost wanted to smile. A sad smile to accept my fate. I couldn’t see her face, and I knew she had destroyed all of my guards to get here. I hadn’t heard a thing, and neither had they. She moved like a cat, with unmatched grace. And yet, when she stood before me, it was with the ferocity of a lion.
My time was running out. I wanted to say a few last words. I wanted to make amends. I wanted to plead for forgiveness. But before I could utter my first word, there was a knife in my chest. I hadn’t even seen her draw it. I choked in pain and she was gone, the curtains of my window swaying from the wind. She was a shadow, gone as subtly as she had arrived.
I knew then I wouldn’t be the last.

Moira Kryze was born on Mandalore, only a few years younger than her brother, Temen. Her parents had met on Alderaan, her father having visited for one of his various odd jobs in the export/import industry. Her father Avin Kryze, a Mandalorian, had a very stubborn set of values and way of life. These views were refreshing nuances in the eyes of Moira’s mother, a local businesswoman. She had been the assigned client, and although they had gotten off to a rocky start, she had convinced Avin to remain return to Alderaan after she despised the farm life on Mandalore.
It was around the time Moira was born that rifts began to form between Avin and his wife, as he longed for her home back on Mandalore. Having been a part of various battles in the past, he had all but left behind his lifelong traditions and culture in favor of life in the cities in Alderaan. He also began to watch his children grow, both entirely oblivious to Mandalorian ways that would imbue a sense of strength and self sufficiency.
A few more years passed by, and their rift had reached its apex, driving a wedge between the family. As Moira’s brother had shown an affinity for the academics from an early age, he remained behind with his mother on Alderaan. Avin took Moira and returned to Mandalore to build a home for them there and pass on a legacy that had been in his family for generations.
Where Moira remained Kyrze, her brother would take upon the surname of their mother and be removed from the Mandalorian culture. Moira’s childhood was spent training and hunting, following in the footsteps of those before her in becoming a warrior. She had a polar opposite upbringing to her brother, going on various hunts with members of other clans. Among these were Ral Vizsla, a young boy she had developed a very close friendship with. He aided her in crafting her beskar’gam, teaching her not only about combat but also leadership.
Their paths bisected when Ral’s father was murdered by Force users. The tragedy was devastating and forever changed the naive belief that staying within the protection of the clans was sufficient enough to thrive. He went his way and Moira aggressively involved herself into the local militia to do her part in keeping back threats. Although she had succeeded at actively engaging in combat and honing her skills, her unique set of abilities caught the attention of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild. After four years in the militia, Moira ultimately chose to leave Mandalore to pursue a path within the Guild.
Within the guild, she trained almost exclusively with blades and other weapons some would consider primitive, becoming a stealthy and acrobatic machine. Her craft modeled her to become one of the best in the guild, her methods especially covert and devastating to her bounties. Within six years, she rose to hold a seat in the council of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild. Moira became a well known force within the circles of the law and within the Republic, and her ties to the name Kryze were largely dropped.
Moira had forged herself an entirely new persona from her time on Mandalore, and she developed a much more jaded perception of the galaxy around her. Her profession took her through all walks of life and every nook and cranny within the galaxy, and she nimbly maneuver through all of it. She specialized in being an exceptionally agility-focused warrior with focus on close range combat.
Her time with the Bounty Hunter’s Guild had allowed her to amass a substantial amount of personal wealth, which she was quick to invest. Over time, her choices led her to become extremely self-sufficient and sharp in her trade. Moira had become someone else entirely from the little girl that grew up on a farm on Mandalore.
Moira is a very sharp and no-nonsense woman. As a child, she had always been bubbly and positive. As an adult, and over time she had become extremely jaded. Her time with the Bounty Hunter’s Guild has taught her discipline in a way she had never known from her father or her time with the militia. Her unmatched focus allows her to excel in her skills and become the best in her unique set of abilities.
Her dabbling in corporations and business dealings has molded her personality as well, making her much more perceptive and persuasive when it comes to closing a deal. She has a hawk-like persona and a demeanor that commands authority in any situation she is in. Moira is generally mistrustful of others and tends to see true intentions of others quite clearly, and she often takes the guilty until proven innocent route.
