Talan Bizago

Talan Bizago was a Dathomirian Zabrak male crime lord and former lieutenant of the Wey Clan whose career spanned from the fall of the Galactic Republic to the era of the New Republic. Hailing from the planet Dathomir, Bizago was born into a clan of Nightbrothers led by Brother Viscus, but when he was just a child, he was kidnapped and sold to the crime lord Hekaro Wey. However, the crime lord freed Talan from enslavement and raised the boy as his own son, with the name Talan Wey, a name that Talan would later come to resent. His personal starship was the Fireball-41 Axis-class patrol craft named Fantasma's Revenge, a personal gift from Hekaro. Trained in combat and martial arts from a young age, Bizago became one of the most feared criminals in the galaxy during the waning years of the Republic. After defending his homeworld from the United Front, Bizago took over his father's criminal mantle on Cantonica and became a legend with his own criminal empire during the reign of the Galactic Empire. 
Born in 80 BBY during the era of the Republic, Talan Bizago was the son of the Nightsister Zikora Bizago and Brother Talvon. Talan also had two younger siblings, the Nightbrothers Farron Bizago and Kavali Bizago. When Talan was still a child, his Nightbrother clan was forced to surrender him to a band of pirates that threatened to attack the Nightbrothers' village. He was taken to the Outer Rim world of Cantonica, where he was sold to Hekaro Wey, who sensed potential in the boy and released him from slavery. Thereafter, Hekaro prioritized training Talan to become a ferocious warrior and assassin in service of the Wey Clan. As he progressed into a seasoned fighter, Talan began fighting in the underground arenas of the Cantonica Palace as a gladiator, where he decimated thousands of challengers to hone his skills. Residing in the palace, Talan inherited his father's vast wealth and knowledge of galactic history which he used to increase his own influence in the criminal underworld. At some point, Talan retained his surname "Bizago" to reclaim his independence and honor his biological family. 
==Behind the scenes==
The development of Talan Bizago has been extensive, with the character starting off as a Gran shopkeeper named "Rigg," who only served as a background character that would be harassed by the main protagonist, who ended up becoming Kenan Verso. As the character began developing, first his species was changed from Gran to Dathomirian, the species that JB became fascinated with after seeing Darth Maul in the film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace as a kid. Then, his name was chosen after cycling through a series of random names before deciding on Talan Bizago. In 2023, his backstory was created for an upcoming television series called The Son of Dathomir. As the Legacy saga is further developed, Talan went from a background character to a central figure in all nine of the upcoming films.
