[Based on Cassian Andor from the TV series Andor]

Backstory:

Cassian Andor was born as Kassa on the planet Kenari, where he lived with his younger sister and a small tribal community. His world was shattered when a crashed Separatist ship drew the attention of the Republic, leading to the deaths of his people. He was ultimately taken off-world by Maarva Andor and her husband Clem, who adopted him and brought him to Ferrix, renaming him Cassian. He grew up on the industrial planet, learning to adapt and survive in a harsh, working-class environment. When Cassian was a teenager, his adoptive father, Clem, was publicly executed by clone troopers for merely standing against imperial forces. This event instilled in Cassian a deep hatred for the Empire, but it also taught him the importance of patience and knowing when to act. He spent the following years scraping by as a thief, smuggler, and conman, taking odd jobs and moving between planets. Though fiercely loyal to Maarva, he kept many secrets from her, including his search for his long-lost sister, a personal mission he has yet to complete. By adulthood, Cassian had developed a reputation as a skilled infiltrator, mechanic, and smooth-talker, able to manipulate his way out of trouble. However, his tendency to borrow money and cross dangerous people often put him in difficult situations. On one such occasion, he stole Imperial technology to sell for credits, unknowingly drawing the attention of Luthen Rael, a key figure in the early Rebellion

Luthen recognized Cassian’s potential and recruited him for a high-risk mission on Aldhani—to help steal an entire Imperial payroll. Though initially uninterested in rebellion, Cassian agreed for the money. He proved to be a valuable asset, using his combat skills, tactical thinking, and adaptability to ensure the mission’s success. However, after witnessing the ruthless dedication of rebel fighters like Vel Sartha and Skeen, and the death of Nemik, Cassian chose to take his payment and walk away. Hoping to lay low, Cassian fled to Niamos under a false identity but was arrested on false charges by the Empire and sentenced to six years in Narkina 5. The Imperial prison, a brutal labor facility, forced inmates into 12-hour shifts with no weekends or recreation, working on parts for the Empire’s secret projects. Inmates had no contact with the outside. Meals were a tasteless liquid that came through tubes. Electrified floors ensured obedience and competition—lowest productivity meant excruciating punishment, while top workers earned flavored food. Fear of lethal shocks kept prisoners in line. Cassian endured dehumanization and cruelty, until he and the others learned that upon serving their sentence, prisoners were simply recycled into different facilities

With Kino Loy, Cassian lead an elaborately planned prison break, although very few made it off planet. With the help of some locals, Cassian and fellow inmate Melshi managed to find their way back to Niamos where they parted ways. Cassian sought a place where he could lay low before he makes his way back to Ferrix to pay a visit to Maarva
