Chir'daki is a "retired" Bounty Hunter, about whom very little is known beyond his professional reputation. He is currently employed as a Lieutenant in the criminal organisation Black Sun, and is known to be connected with the reformation of the Bounty Hunters' Guild. His name is a Twi'lek word that translates into Basic as Death Seed - the name of a virilant parasitic disease. When hunting, Chir'daki wears the armour of an ori'ramikade - a Mandalorian Supercommando.

More recently, Chir'daki has become an apprentice to Darth Callidus; the Dark Lord has bestowed upon him the title of Darth Sagitta - the arrow; complimenting the weapon-themed names of Callidus' other apprentices.

Chir'daki's Mandalorian armour

The individual known as Chir'daki is a man of mystery. He keeps his history - even his real identity - a closely guarded secret, hiding behind the character that he has spun for himself over the course of his employment. Though a Bounty Hunter by profession, he is well known for his difficulty in understanding the concept of "dead or alive": his targets rarely make it out of an encounter with him in one piece.

What little is known about him is derrived mostly from rumour, but a few assumptions can be made. Based on his actions and combat prowess, it is widely assumed that Chir'daki has some sort of military background. Rumour also has it that he was raised on Ryloth: a possible explanation for his choice of alias, and his fluency in the Twi'lek language.

Most of Chir'daki's bounty profits are reinvested into equipment and supplies for his work; as such he has no permenant home. He prefers to work alone, rarely assisted by anything aside from a collection of assorted droids he has amassed over the years.

Secret Past

Contrary to rumour, Chir'daki's military experience is actually fairly limited: he - Romo Mantana - served for several years as a Ground Technician attatched to the Starfighter division of the Imperial Navy, and recieved little more than basic military training. He was known by his peers and superiors as a quiet, reserved, and completely unremarkable individual, and was passed over for promotion numerous times.

Years into his service, he began to experience wild mood swings that Medical Officers attribured to stress - they were in fact the first manifestations of his latant Force potential, feeding of his own negative emotions. Delegated to a backwater ground installations because of concerns over his mental wellbeing, he found himself on the wrong side of an abusive superior who felt it necessary to take out his own feelings of inadequacy on his subordinates. During one such incident, Mantana entered into one of his Force-fuelled rages and killed his superior officer. Seeing no option but to flee, he managed to steal a shuttle and escape the system.

Mantana fled to Ryloth, and abandoned his ship in orbit, descending to the planet in an escape pod. He was found by a Twi'lek huntsman; Mantana feigned amnesia, and the huntsman agreed to care for him until he "recovered". With no name, Mantana became referred to by the Twi'lek as Chir'daki - the Twi'leki name for Death Seed, a deadly parasitic disease: the Twi'lek jokingly called Mantana a parasite, and because of exposure to the harsh sunlight on Ryloth, he claimed that Mantana often looked like he was suffering from skin necrosis - a symptom of Death Seed. In return for his care and hospitality, Chir'daki assisted the Twi'lek in his hunting, and learned most of his combat skills.

Eventually, he decided to leave his surrogate home, and return to the galaxy at large. Justifying his actions to himself as "bringing justice" to those who deserved it, he hired himself out first as a mercenary, and later as a bounty hunter. To hide his true identity he went to great lengths, self-inflicting the distinctive scar across his face to generate a distinctive feature that people were more likely to remember than his true appearence beneath, and surrounding himself with an cloak of mystery so that the only "facts" about him would be based on sketchy rumour, if not wild speculation.

Black Sun

Chir'daki first came to the attention of Black Sun early in his career, when he began working as a low-level thug on a contract-by-contract basis. Eventually, he impressed a few members enough to earn himself a permenant place on their payroll, and worked his way up through the hierarchy from there.

Having adopted a administrative role within the Black Sun organisation, Chir'daki's career as a Bounty Hunter entered a slump, although he continued to interact with that world, often feeding information to former Hunter contacts about noteworthy Black Sun bounties. (And the beat goes on...)

Recently, he was approached by his old acquaintance Darven, concerning the reformation of the Bounty Hunters' Guild. Chir'daki had originally hoped to represent Black Sun as their official ambassador to the new guild, but after negotiations with Grym Kandle, he accepted a role that traded a little authority in exchange for a considerably reduced amount of administrative responsibility, allowing Chir'daki to return to his roots and serve as a Bounty Hunter once more. (Recalling the Guild: Chir'daki, Recalling the Guild: Grym Kandle)
