Kurt Vellin is a young Kiffar currently serving in the Imperial Army. He is the last known surviving member of Clan Vellin.

Background

Clan Vellin

Clan Vellin was a minor semi nomadic tribe of Kiffar native to the eastern regions of Kiffu. Decades ago, they were involved in a feud with a nearby rival clan that was so violent it almost resulted in the total destruction of both tribes. In the time after the conflict, a new leader emerged after the death of the old Clan head. He urged the tribe to become more peaceful to avoid another near extinction. The new leader pushed Clan Vellin towards artistry and music, rather than war and bloodshed. Some men, including Kurt's father Gristaf Vellin, despised the idea of laying down their arms, and secretly and subtly began training a new generation of warriors. The Clan's Qukuuf is traditionally worn on the upper back and shoulders.

Early Life

Growing up in a tribe divided by ideologies, Kurt was mentored in both martial and musical arts. His mother, an avid musician, tutored him and his sister Gretta in the ways of the Kiffarian Pan Flute. Kurt's father, one of the hunters of the Clan, mentored him in the art of the slugthrower and sword. In his free time, Kurt enjoyed exploring and causing mischief amongst the other children. One day in year 12, The clan was migrating back into the mountains for the summertime. While crossing through a narrow pass, the tribe was ambushed by mysterious marauders, leaving many dead, including Kurt's sister. Following his father's path for revenge, the fourteen year old boy set out with the rest of the clan's men to track down the killers. Along side his father and the others, they found the hostile village and raided it. In the ensuing battle, Clan Vellin managed to destroy most of the killers and routing the rest, but it before losing many warriors, including Kurt's father. After burying his father and watching the village burn, he returned to his mother to inform her of what had happened.

The Vagrant

After being blamed relentlessly for the death of his father by his mother, Kurt abandoned what was left of Clan Vellin to live on his own, wandering the wilderness of Kiffu. During this period, he would spend time exploring the major cities of his home world. He became fascinated by the off worlders, their fancy starships, and their gambling games, which he picked up a habit for. Kurt enjoyed listening to all of the rumors and stories he heard in the cantinas. Various people from different backgrounds told tales of Empires and Rebellions, criminal gangs, bounty hunters, and other adventures and mishaps.

Enlistment

The young man decided after years of being homeless and alone, he enlisted in the Imperial Army. He had always enjoyed the stories of the Empire and admired their ways. Kurt also saw it as an opportunity to leave Kiffu, a goal he had been hoping to achieve since the death of his family.

The Imperial Academy

Kurt Vellin spent his time at the Academy being trained in the art of ground warfare, learning the basics of combat, being a proper Imperial soldier, and commanding storm troopers. He graduated and was given the rank of Second Leiutenant in the Imperial Army.
