Tallem Kan

Tallem Kan is a young Iktotchi and former Padawan of the Jedi Order. Shorter-than-average height, slim build, and a quick smile make him seem like less of a threat to his enemies. His keen eyes and curiosity have also pushed his cunning nature to the limits as he tries to get out of trouble that he talks himself into, though he never seems to be able to successfully pull a fast one over Kaybri, his girlfriend. While Tallem seems to have a happy go lucky personality, those whom he spends time with can see the haunted look in his eyes and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

When expecting trouble (which seems to be all the time now), Tallem wears ill fitting Riot Armor that smells strongly of Wookie. A mechanical arm attached to it holds a riot shield, allowing Tallem to keep his hands free. Those that recognize the rare weapon on his hip know that Tallem favors a phase-knife for both up close and at range combat. Those that pose a serious threat to his party quickly see the green glow of a two-handed lightsaber kept in Tallem's backpack.

To those he knows and trusts explicitly, Tallem would make small talk and tell his tale of failure. During the Clone Wars, Tallem and his master covertly traveled through Separatist space and performed secret diplomatic missions. When Order 66 occured, Tallem's master died to protect him. Kaybri and her family took him in and he tried to assist them with smuggling goods for various rebel groups, all of which have either failed or turned to terrorism. Even his most daring success, the rescue of Malmarran off of Kashyyyk itself, has turned sour as recent events have shown. To top it off, Kaybri's parents have gone missing and he hasn't been able to find any leads to their whereabouts... or if they're even alive.
