OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

* Role: A Dark Jedi who works as my enforcer, informant and go-between other contacts that I otherwise wouldn't communicate or meet with directly.
* Links: Adamas Taher; Fraller Mori; Alicia Drey's Lightsaber; Elias Tovia; Alicia Drey's Personalized Protocol Unit KALIST V-1 Fuerza; Order of the Sith Lords; Chandrila Group; Chandrila; Alicia Drey.
PHYSICAL INFORMATION
* Age: 79.
* Force Sensitivity: Knight.
* Species: Ithorian.
* Appearance: Like all Ithorian's he retains the 'hammerhead' look that their species is famed for. He wears long, flowing dark robes that hung over his slender, seemingly weak frame. Despite appearances Snagg is very agile, strong and fit despite his age.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
* Name: Snagg Ibbluhl.
* Loyalties: Order of the Sith Lords.
* Wealth: Extremely rich. After a 56 year career as a criminal, working for an organization on Nar Shaddaa that dealt in narcotics, weapons and extortion through to his employment under a wealthy Chandrilese corporation, that both deals in Chandrila's major export (foodstuff) and ulterior, criminal activities has made this old Ithorian extremely rich.
* Notable Possessions: Lightsaber.
* Skills: Snagg possesses rudimentary Force-abilities (Force Push, Pull, Shield etc.- the basics). He is also a practitioner of the Lightsaber technique Soresu.
* Personality: Calm, centered, controlled, but intimidating, vengeful and angry at the same time.
COMBAT INFORMATION
* Weapon of Choice: Lightsaber.
* Combat Function: As a practitioner of Soresu Snagg's role in combat is to guard and protect. Blasters would find a very hard time hitting this man, with thanks to his technique and Force abilities. The same could be said in Lightsaber combat although someone better than he is would likely get the upper hand. All he does is support, and capitalize when his opponent is weak, or down.
Strengths:
The Force: Snagg possesses rudimentary knowledge about the dark side of the Force. He isn't a Sith Lord, or a trained Jedi Knight, but he knows enough to control his abilities to a degree to make him a threat.
Soresu: He has learned and practiced this Lightsaber technique over a period of 50 years. He isn't a Master at it (he was never properly trained by a well versed instructor) but such is the proficiency that he retains with this technique makes him a difficult opponent, particularly if they are similar in skill.
The Dark side of the Force: Rage. Pain. Fear. These emotions come naturally to Snagg, and as such he can call upon them to increase his strength and power in the Force.
Weaknesses:
Slow Reflexes and co-ordination: Like most Ithorian's Snagg has slow reflexes, and co-ordination.
Old: Snagg is very fit and agile for his age, but there is only so much you can make up for as a 79 year old Ithorian. To put it into perspective the natural life-span of his species is 85 standard years.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Snagg Ibbluhl was an Ithorian male that was born on the planet Ithor. It was quickly discovered that he was born as a Force-sensitive, and so under the guidance of his Herdship's Healer, Snagg was indoctrinated into his people's beliefs and societal customs, most notably their worship of the Jungle Mother. However, he quickly came to despise the archaic rituals and customs that he felt held him and his abilities back. As a consequence of this he was exiled from Ithor as a 23 year old man following an incident on his Herdship, after his anger led him to use the Force in a way that was considered blasphemous to his people. After traveling the Galaxy for five years he settled on the infamous spice riddled moon of Nar Shaddaa, where he became a Lieutenant in a organization that called themselves the Purple Rejects. Snagg's abilities gave him an edge in the criminal underworld, and through his contacts, he begun acquiring manuscripts, tomes and paraphernalia that would help him extend what he already knew about the Force. Through these acquisitions he was able to build a Lightsaber.
At some point in time he came into contact with an unknown Sith Master who recruited him into the Order of the Sith Lords before Alicia Drey rose to power in 896 ABY. Under the guidance of this Sith he was able to further extend his knowledge on the Force, and begun following the dark side of the Force religiously. However, he never came Sith- despite his training and knowledge on the Force- due to his age, with his Master desiring a more Human and younger apprentice. Despite this Snagg continued to serve his Master loyally. Such is the extent of his loyalty to the organization that it contradicts the normal behaviours and motives of the Sith, as many would have betrayed or usurped their leader by now if normal Sith customs are to be observed and compared to the relationship that this Dark Jedi Ithorian shares with the Order of the Sith Lords.
When Alicia Drey murdered her Master and took her place as the Sith Master Snagg pledged his fealty to her. Despite his considerable years of service and loyalty to the faction Alicia was disgusted with the fact that someone outside of the Sith Master-Apprentice dichotomy was aware of the organization to such an extent. However, Snagg has proven himself to be quite useful to the Sith, and as such, his life was spared by the newly anointed Sith Master. He soon immigrated to Chandrila to join his new Master in her schemes to undo Chandrilese society from the inside, and expand her network of informants, associates and spies across Chandrila, with the long term goal of expanding her reach across the Bormea sector, and should he still be alive by the time comes, expanding his Master's reach into other sectors and star systems across the Galaxy.
In conjunction with another associate- a Human male called Fraller Mori- Snagg acts as the enforcer when the situation arises where enforcement becomes necessary. For example, Snagg has proven useful to Alicia Drey by helping to smuggle her personalized protocol droid Fuerza, and her Lightsaber blade through custom checks in the Hanna City, Emita and Nayli spaceports. He has accomplished this by ensuring that each of the contacts that both he and Fraller Mori have made in each of these spaceports keep their business discreet, through a combination of enforcement tactics (intimidation, coercion etc.) and maintaining an eye on them on a regular basis without them knowing.
With thanks to his former association with the Purple Rejects on Nar Shaddaa, Snagg was able to facilitate a deal between himself and them where a supply of narcotics- ranging from deathsticks to spice- would come to Chandrila on a monthly basis, which was smuggled along the Permelian Trade Route in combination with their contacts and associates which had been installed across Chandrila's major spaceports in Hanna City, Emita and Nayli. It is through Snagg's machinations- on behalf of his Master- that Chandrila is beginning to experience a wave of drug related crimes, and other forms of paraphernalia that has entered their society, primarily in Chandrila's capital.
It is through a career spanning 56 years- ranging from his service as a Lieutenant in the criminal organization called the Purple Rejects, based out in Nar Shaddaa- through to his service as a Dark Jedi disciple to the Order of the Sith Lords that Snagg Ibbluhl has become an extremely wealthy man. He has facilitated countless drug deals, weapons sales, and extorted many people- ranging from low class civilians through to crime lords and government officials- that made Snagg a considerably rich man. In conjunction with the work that he has done on behalf of his new Sith Master (Alicia Drey) on the agricultural rich world of Chandrila, Snagg has only increased his wealth due to the considerable profits that Chandrila Group makes through it's main import of foodstuffs (which the Chandrilese are most famous for) and the darker, illicit and clandestine operations that the company begun dealing with on the side, which Snagg helps to facilitate through his experience and abilities in the Force.
It is through this wealth that he is able to assist the Order of the Sith Lords in expanding it's influence across Chandrila, with the latter goal of expanding across the Bormea sector and the wider Galaxy itself. It is also through his wealth that he is able to afford any forms of paraphernalia which may expand his knowledge of the dark side of the Force, with his thirst for knowledge ranging from manuscripts that tell long forgotten histories of the Sith through to arcane abilities which some may find unnatural. Thus far, despite his best affords however, he has been unable to get his hand on anything valuable, save for a few dark side imbued jewelry (rings and necklaces that he wears on his person) and the odd manuscript telling tales about the Sith Order from millennia ago.
Whilst Snagg does not retain the potent Force-sensitivity that Alicia Drey seeks in an apprentice, he has been tricked into thinking that he is such. This is how Alicia has ensured Snagg's loyalty to the her and the Rule of Two, by bequeathing to him the position that he has long since coveted: the role of the Sith Apprentice. Despite this there will come the day when Snagg will need to be replaced by someone stronger, and more powerful . . . .
