Description
Young, male Twi'Lek. Lithe and fairly slight of build. He has an intense gaze which has
served him well at the sabbac table. Normally wears coveralls, often tied around the waist.
When in port, dresses in considerably finer clothes. Blaster pistol, when worn is carried in an
Ullian shoulder rig, usually concealed beneath his jacket. Mazer presents a calm and relaxed
demeanour for most of the time.

Background
Mazer Venn is unremarkable in almost every respect apart from two things. He is considered
attractive for his species and seems to carry good luck with him. His undistinguished early life
on Ryloth ended when he managed to work passage off world following an unspecified indiscretion with the daughter of a prominent businessman. He had paid little attention during formal schooling but proved to be a quick learner and popular with his newly acquired crew mates. As he had little to hold him on Ryloth, he didn't look back and has never returned. He soon discovered a taste and aptitude for games of chance in some of the seedier dives in the galaxy and spent most of what he earned indulging this hobby/occupation. He picked up a modicum of knowledge in a wide range of shipboard jobs, which has served him well over the years. When the ship he was crewing on was impounded while taking on cargo on Sullust, he managed to avoid imprisonment through a characteristaclly lucky turn of events. It was shortly after this incident that he encountered Reeth Lightstar over the sabbac table and won himself a berth on the Tigerclaw. Originally seeing her as an easy meal ticket, he has since come to respect the Corellian captain a great deal. He has stuck around and has become a useful addition to the crew. Mazer functions in a variety of roles as needed; co-pilot, deckhand, engineer and sometime bodyguard. His indefinable “good luck” has also come in handy on several occasions.

Notes
What Mazer does not know for sure but may suspect is that he is a force sensitive. If times were
different, his talent may have been spotted early enough and he would likely have trained as a jedi. As it is, this gift may prove dangerous if he crosses the path of another force sensitive, especially one in thrall to the Empire.

Friends & Enemies
Mazer may be considered to be on first name terms with many of the clientele of whichever gambling den you care to mention. In particular, he is close to Reena Thal, owner and barkeep of the Staggered Claw on Sullust. It is widely rumoured that Mazer and Reena were once lovers, although neither will ever confirm or deny this. Mazer’s childhood friend, Kin Chel, is currently flying a Y Wing fighter for the Alliance. Neither has seen the other since childhood but the two still share a strong fondness for each other and would doubtless aid the other if needed. Halton Shale, once master of the transport Obsidian Dawn holds a strong grudge against Venn, believing the Twi’Lek responsible for selling him out on Sullust. In fact, it was a greedy cargo hand who did the dirty deed but Shale is not one to let the facts stand in the way of a good vendetta.
