Lucilla Strabo

Lucilla Strabo Malikina was the mother of the famed Spectre-Agent Nihlus Kryik. Hailing from the planet Bostra, she was the only child of Group Captain Isaeus Strabo and his wife, Alma Malikus. 
Lucilla, ran away from home after her father betrothed her to a man she did not wish to marry. Her actions brought great shame to her family; she was tried in absentia and convicted for desertion by the Imperial Armed Forces, the punishment for which was dishonourable discharge from the military and a public execution order, should she ever be apprehended. 
She fled to Omega in the Terminus System, where she sought work as a mercenary. While on a job, her mercenary band unwittingly stepped on the toes of the infamous pirate lord, Aeson Kryik, who demanded tribute as recompense for his financial losses. The amount of credits the band accumulated to pay Aeson off was less than the figure he wanted and thus they threw Lucilla into the deal as a slave. Aeson accepted the deal and took Lucilla as his personal slave. 
Lucilla was subject to horrendous abuse from Aeson, both physical and sexual. She eventually found herself with child and gave birth to Aeson's son, Nihlus. Aeson intended to sell his son into slavery to be rid of him but Lucilla convinced him to keep the boy, telling him that, through Nihlus, he could forge a dynasty that would strike terror into the hearts of Terminus citizens for centuries to come. Aeson, forever vain and hungry for more power, was swayed by her argument and began to sculpt his son into the perfect heir for his criminal empire.
Nihlus was Lucilla's world and her motivation to continue living. Over the years she managed to gain Aeson's trust and persuaded him to let her work for him as a fellow pirate, eventually rising to the rank of his First Mate, before earning enough credits to eventually buy her son's freedom. After Nihlus had turned sixteen she began to plan their escape, to return to Bostra, in the hopes of giving her son a normal life. She would die by Aeson's hand, sacrificing her life to buy Nihlus time to escape aboard a shuttle bound for Bostra.
