Traxalis Saxon

Traxalis "Trax" Saxon is a successful bounty hunter widely recognized as one of the premier mercenaries employed by the Sith Empire. He leads a small outfit of former InterStellar Regulators, whom he partnered with after the Hutt Cartel was forced off Makeb.

A native of Thyferra who was once a member of the Mandalorian clans, he was exiled by his compatriots for dishonorable conduct. He went on to spend a number of years working for major criminal syndicates ― first the Hutt Cartel, then the Exchange ― before finding his favorite client in the Empire.

He has completed dozens of Imperial contracts, and has even been employed by Sith Lords. The Empire provides him with challenging work and a steady stream of credits, something Traxalis considers a perfect combination.

Biography
Born on Thyferra, a young Traxalis loathed the simple life of farming his family lived. Yearning to move past such limits and explore the galaxy, he abandoned his family home at the age of fifteen. He made his way to Nar Shaddaa, where he found work running contraband for a street gang known as the Razors, who often struck against the Hutt Cartel. He continued with them until an unsuccessful heist in the Red Light Sector, during which the gangsters were set upon by a crew of Mandalorians whom the Hutts had hired. Those of the Razors who survived the attack abandoned Traxalis. To his surprise, the Mandalorians not only chose to show him mercy but took him in. The crew's leader, Tarko Saxon, would later see potential in the young boy and take him under his wing.

Shore Leave
In his first contract for a Sith, Traxalis was hired by Nergal Orvax to "retire" an Imperial Navy officer. His target, Captain Karl Kappler, had inadvertently come into possession of a datapad that held details of Nergal's dealings with a corrupt Republic politician. Although the Sith Lord had already seen to the datapad's retrieval, and had also determined that Kappler had not bypassed the device's encryption, Nergal nonetheless concluded that allowing the captain to live was too great a risk.

Using contacts in the Exchange, Traxalis learned that Kappler had made arrangements to take leave and spend several days at a luxury resort on Nar Shaddaa. He resolved to murder the captain there and pin his death on the anti-Imperial radicals that frequented the Smuggler's Moon.

Personality and traits
A true mercenary, Traxalis will accept just about any contract so long as the pay meets his standards. He inherited such callous greed from his mentor, Tarko Saxon. Much like him, it is the prime reason for his expulsion from the Mandalorian clans. He cares little for the cruelty and sinister motives of those who frequent his client list; beyond his pay, his only other concern is whether or not a job will provide him with a challenge.
