Yaulthoon

**Yaulthoon**, his soul name **The One Who Admires Beauty**, is a hanar criminal.

## Biography

Yaulthoon was born to well-off parents on the hanar homeworld of Kahje, with a good education and drell servants to attend to him. He was very open and curious as a child, and this led him to make acquaintances outside the social circle expected of him. One group of young, debaucherous hanar and drell he met at a festival bonded with and accepted him quickly, and they became fast friends. Yaulthy, as became known to his friends, grew especially close with the drell in the group, a girl named Caelin.

As time went on, he became more and more detached from his old life and interested in less lawful pursuits, becoming very well acquainted with the hallucinogenic properties of mindfish, a drug which he would say "frees the soul such that it may mingle with the Enkindlers." Yaulthy started breeding exceptionally potent and illegal varieties of mindfish with his friends to sell.

Eventually, whether due to his actions or those of his friends, things changed from a fun side job to serious criminal activity, and Yaulthy dropped out of university to pursue it, leaving behind his degree in botany. They started smuggling the mindfish across Kahje and even offworld, and he learned a variety of skills to get by in the underworld. His group moved and based off of Omega, picking up more and more business, no longer confined to just mindfish. Still, the original group was always in control, and the only ones who knew Yaulthoon’s Soul Name. Then, they were caught on a job on a Hanar colony planet, and his friends conspired to blame Caelin, considering her obligated to take the fall as per the Compact.

Yaulthoon alone attempted to stop the plan, but the combined testimonies from the rest were enough that he was set free despite his lack of cooperation. Caelin was executed for the multiple crimes committed in the process of smuggling, and Yaulthoon left the group, bitter over the death of his best friend. It didn't survive him and Caelin leaving, and with the originals' leaving, it became just one more criminal group on Omega. A once-bubbly, happy Hanar became driven by hatred and a desire for vengeance. Using the skills he had picked up, he tracked down and murdered every betrayer across Omega over the course of the next five years.

However, one mistake led him to be arrested for a seemingly unconnected crime just after he finished his work. He has spent the most recent portion of his life aboard a prison ship, reflecting on his life so far.

## Personality

Once a carefree, enthusiastic, and excitable hanar, Yaulthoon became jaded and bitter after his closest friend was betrayed and executed. He retreated into drugs and sex as an escape whenever not focusing on his next target, and lost his passion for life and air of kindness. Since being imprisoned, he has realized how much he has lost, and while he knows he cannot be who he once was, he now looks to rekindle what used to make him happy: talking to people, being around nature, art, and beauty, and exploring the galaxy.

There are some qualities that he will always have. A  love for mindfish, recklessness, and a deep loyalty to those he trusts are still deeply ingrained in Yaulthoon, though his ability to trust is now deeply wounded. He again looks to be outgoing, whimsical, and friendly, but now some amount of it is a facade that hides his guilt, mistrust, and grief. Going by Yaulthy again for the first time in years, he nevertheless seeks to once again become genuine in his ample time to reflect in prison.
