Profile of Talon Karrde

Talon Karrde

Within five years of Jabba the Hutt's demise, Talon Karrde had managed to acquire a controlling interest of most of the late gangster's dealings. The difference in operating logistics alone made Karrde quite profitable and his organization developed quite a low profile.

Preferring to keep neutral in the war between the Rebellion and the Empire was one of the hardest but most rewarding choices Karrde had to make. Of course, being neutral did not mean that Karrde did not have his preference, but for the most part he allowed the war to go on while his group dealt with whoever had the credits.

However much Karrde struggles to remain in the center of the conflict, however, he continually finds himself dealing with the Rebellion. This is a fact that troubles him since he used to enjoy joking about how Han Solo got caught up in the troubles of the Alliance.

Karrde is charming, hospitable, and friendly to enemies and friends alike. He operates under the assumption that an enemy today can be a friend tomorrow, and that can be ruined by something as trivial as bad manners. Though regarded as a bit of a cold fish, he is looked on by his peers as an honest person to deal with. He has a reputation for being calculating and extremely mercenary.

Talon Karrde is careful not to manifest his passions, though he feels very strong about several things. His associates, for one. Their debts are his debts, as well as their credits. Anyone who comes to deal with him or as a guest falls under the protection of his organization--until they leave. If you sit at his table and eat his food, you have earned his protection whether he likes it or not. Another subject that will draw Karrde's anger is slavery and kidnapping. He does not deal in these businesses; never has and never will.

Talon Karrde is a human male, with thinning black hair. He usually wears a goatee and mustache. In the timeline of the Battle Zone, he is approximately 60 years old. He tends to dress in simple yet elegant tunics, baggy slacks, and a padded vest and greatcoat he has owned for many, many years. He is faultlessly polite and calm, even in desperate situations. It is this even temperament that has saved him from certain death a number of times.
