His name is Ben Knighthawk. Originally from Corellia and at the current age of 35 years old. Green eyes and brown hair. Knighthawk started life like any normal Corellian would. His family was not rich but they were able to afford Knighthawk's enrollment in the Corsec Academy on Corellia. Finding his way through the young years of his life Knighthawk was well on his way into Corsec. Spending 10 years with Corsec gave him many connections and led him on many adventures that nearly cost him his life on more than one occasion. But when his little brother got into trouble and was kidnapped by a local Krypt gang, Knighthawk took things into his own hands when the law wouldn't act on its own. Knighthawk left Corsec behind and hit the streets 'interrogating' any Krypt member he found. Bypassing all the threats of taking justice into his own hands Knighthawk kept going and going until he finally went to far and killed two Krypt members and an Imperial Stormtrooper in self defence. But he was convicted of murder instead. Now with no turning back Knighthawk had only one way, forward.
Finally finding enough evidence after a year of searching for his brother and the same ammount of time avoiding the warrant for his arrest, Knighthawk found the Krypt's enclave. The following battle took the lives of twelve gang members and the near destruction of half a city block. Knighthawk was also pinned for this in a court of law. Moving forward even so Knighthawk found his brother alive and well. But he wasn't being held agianst his will, and he wore a Krypt crest. His brother then proceeded to attempt to kill Knighthawk and inevitably failed with his own death at Knighthawk's own hands.
With now a year of his life and his career wasted, Knighthawk returned to the civilized world and turned himself in. Through a month of hearings and a long trial he was sentenced to death under Imperial laws for the murder of an Imperial Soldier, destruction of government property and possesion of stolen Imperial arms. For his strong sense of justice Knighthawk didn't fight back but was well willing to take what was coming to him. But when the Imperial Judge ordered him five years sentence and then death Knighthawk started to think about things in a different perspective. And especially so when he arrived at the prison.
Spending the next five years in a cell with a crazy old man telling him stories about the Rebellion and how there was hope for a free Galaxy from the oppresion of the Emporer, Knighthawk decided inside of himself that he was wrongfully tried and figured that dying in this prison wouldn't bring justice to himself. So on the day of his execution he escaped after killing two cell gaurds. And bringing the old man with him. During the escape though the old man was shot in the back and killed. Leaving his fallen friend Knighthawk kept running and left Corellia. For two years he evaded the Empire's agents and finally now he returned to Corellia hoping things have blown over and that he could pick up where he left off, otherwise he would be on the run agian.
