Toln ne Yerres

Toln ne Yerres after losing Cloud City in a game of sabacc

A shrewd businessman with a sliver tongue, **Toln Ne Yerres** served Jabba the Hutt for years successfully managing the busy Holiday Towers and the Happy Failure bar and casino on Cloud City.

He started his criminal career as a slaver for Jabba the Hutt, eventually working as a spice courier. He eventually became a lieutenant in the Anjac Hutt Clan and then re-joined Jabba's criminal empire as his liaison on Cloud City, managing his interests there.

Once Zorba the Hutt claimed his deceased son's holdings, Toln pledged his loyalty to the elder hutt, working to establish himself as a potential new majordomo.

In 6.5 ABY, Zorba was killed by Blaine Hansom and a few weeks later, arrived on Cloud City to claim the title of Baron. Lopping off Toln's hand with his cortosis blade when we reached for his blaster, eventually they struck a deal - a very public game of sabacc to determine who would be the Baron Administrator.

Toln saw this as an opportunity to gain sympathy from the populace (and played the matches with one hand) and a way to get credits - by inviting others into the tournament and charging massive buy-in fees.

Rigging the tournament, Toln worked with local crime boss named Sawthawne to assassinate the winner of the last match if he didn't win. Even for all his tricks, he exited the tournament third. The remaining two hands rested on a single card, herglic crime boss Vandumgrift bombed out while Blaine stayed under positive 23. The winner of the match and three consecutive games was Blaine Hansom.

Seeing Toln's nod the assassins, a riot broke out in the casino. After Bota Zi, Tal, and Tek had subdued the hitmen, Toln pressed charges against Blaine. His goal was to discredit Blaine and the tournament he created to take control of the Baron-Administrator’s position himself.

Bota Zi, Genos, Talcoborro, and Tek used the time before the trial to track down Sawthayne and get the information needed to help Blaine’s case, all while getting credits for taking down a wanted criminal themselves.

Blaine, who chose to represent himself in court, only had a stolen datapad from Toln, which had been sliced already. There were several communications on the datapad alongside incriminating evidence against Toln, while Toln and his lawyer repeatedly brought up the million credit bounty from Kuat on Blaine.

The trial was interrupted by Blaine's friends, who burst into court with evidence that corroborated the evidence on the sliced datapad. Toln was sentenced to a minimum of four years in prison and never had his hand reattached.

After a brief stay in Cloud City's security tower prison, Toln was sent to Kessel for his further crimes which included slavery and selling and transporting banned substances. On Kessel, he made the acquaintance of Cornelius Evazan and they were both selected to participate in a New Republic scheme to unleash prisoners on Coruscant to disrupt Imperial activity.

Arriving on Coruscant, the pair moved into the sewers, and in one such cavern found the two found the destroyed body of a large spider creature strewn about. Combining both medical, slicing, and cybernetic knowledge, the two were able to bring the creature back to life. Once it was aware of what was happening, the spider creature - named Balancesheet - aided their repair to his body and was able to slice and locate a perfect hiding spot - a hidden Arquitens-class cruiser underneath the buildings above. The ship, an apparent leftover from the Lusankya operation, needed some repairs and over the next few years, they each carved out their own areas of influence. Toln, himself, was less attached the egotistical empire Evazan was building himself and even less enthusiastic about Balancesheet's recovery and his thousands of nodes, would take long trips off the planet but always ended up back on Coruscant after whichever scheme he enacted failed.

Eventually, revenge overcame Toln, as he learned Blaine, Bota, and Tek routinely traveled on and off Coruscant. With Balancesheet moving forward to trick the Imperial remnant to deliver the specifications of the Krytos virus and Evazan looking for more credits, he set a plan in motion to bring the heroes into their lair.

First, he created reports of a resurgent Krytos virus by slicing into the holonet. He wasn't terribly successful but it worked well enough. He then bribed a senator on a committee to delegate the formal investigation to Cal Omas, who he knew worked with the group. Then, he set up an ion field around their hideout.

In the meantime, Balancesheet repurposed one of his more useful nodes - the one who did his accounting of incoming resources to fix the ship and outgoing labor time costs - into a larger humanoid framework. Toln helped Balancesheet disguise this node, named General Ledger, as an Imperial Officer. This node communicated with the Imperial Remnant, and using the ship as proof of him representing an Imperial cell on Coruscant, persuaded the Imperials to give him the Krytos virus. Once Balancesheet had the virus, he was determined to reverse engineer it to affect humans. Toln didn't care, either way, but used some of the test subjects to reinforce the idea that there was a virus out there.

Eventually, it came crashing down on him - Evazan's empire was destroyed, Balancesheet and his plans were destroyed, and he was left armless and fleeing the scene again.

*Tentacles:* Twi'leks can use their tentacles to communicate in secret with each other, even if in a room full of individuals. The complex movement of the tentacles is, in a sense, a "secret" language that all Twi'leks are fluent in.

*Missing Hand/Slicing Spike*: Toln’s right hand was been lopped off and Blaine ordered a replacement to be made while Toln served his sentence. He later lost a cybernetic hand underneath Coruscant escaping his lair. He also has a slicing spike built into his arm. The spike allows him to interface with the terminal it is plugged into and gives him a +2D to slicing, security, and communications when connected to a terminal.
