Ulysses Reed (known as the 'Codebreaker') was a human male slicer, information broker and spy who was active during the period of galactic history known as The Force Eternal. A criminal through and through, Reed made a living through his skills as a slicer, selling information to the highest bidder. A free and independently-minded man, who was well-guarded with his secrecy, he kept his identity hidden, working through droids, holo-broadcasts and more.

Biography

Born on Nar Shaddaa, to a low-income family, Ullyses spent the earliest years of his life in and out of schooling and working as a member of an apprentices team attached to one of the factories of Jiguuna on the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta. His passion for tinkering and technology was only fed by such work, and soon he was self-teaching himself encryption, security and, eventually, slicing. Becoming a recluse, he moved out of his parent's place and went on the move, purchasing a small ship and heading galactic.

As the years went on, he took up work as a freelance holonet technician and developer, one of the millions in the galaxy, whilst focusing on his genuine passion for slicing. Making most of his income through this method, he fell in with a collection of like-minded individuals.

Soon, after many years of practice, he was something of a contractor for the criminal underclass, information brokerage, ID forging and much more besides. Through his holonet contacts, he began to work on slicing anyone and everyone, provided that there was a financial reward to doing so. At some point, Ullyses took up residence in the gambling city of Canto Bight, where he made his living scamming the casinos, swiping credits from the unsuspecting, and moving stolen goods as a smuggler, all the while travelling the galaxy, ear to the ground for the next score.

Equipment
Personality & Traits

A man of incredibly refined, expensive tastes, Ullyses was a man of idiosyncratic characteristics, from drinking and smoking to exotic vehicles. Boasting a prestigious knowledge of the drinks of the galaxy, Ullyses was a lover of the Degobah Slug Slinger, and would frequently order it when lounging in the bars of the galaxy. His tastes were equally as decadent as food, and he often ensured to wine and dine his business contacts at the restaurants and bars of the casinos throughout the Galaxy. Alongside this, Ullyses was a prolific smoker, frequently seen with a Tabac in his hand, and a chromium case of them stashed in his suit pocket.

An exceptionally talented slicer, Ullyses first and foremost skills could be found in the pursuit of thievery, either in codebreaking or the physical infiltration of secure locations. Able to effortlessly pick a lock with the correct tools and to fashion picks out of things he could track down, he was likewise able to crack into a security system deftly. Something of a mercenary, Ullyses did not consider it prudent to pin his colours to a mast and adopted the middle grey area between light and dark when it came to factional loyalties.

Despite his aversion to confrontation and joining up with anyone's side, he would gladly work for anyone, provided that the price was right. Selling information and his services as a smuggler, thief and slicer to anyone with the credits to meet his fees. He was a classy gentleman and, no mistake, much more at home playing Sabacc (something he was very skilled at), rather than on the field of combat. Despite this, he described himself as 'a poet with a blaster', having ensured he was quick on the draw and deft on the trigger. He tended to augment his blaster skills with underhand tricks to win the day. Ullyses was, naturally, a skilled pilot, something that more than made up for his lacking in the combat department.
