Zann Tawr

- Imperial Remnant

- Zozza's Warlord Faction

Zann Tawr was an orphan born on the lower floors of Coruscant. It's unknown what happened to his parents. He grew up with a group of orphans and spent most of his childhood scavenging and stealing to survive. When he became 16 he entered the Imperial Academy in hopes of a better future.

During his time at the Imperial Academy, Zann quickly shot up to the top of his class. This was due to his natural talent and constant hard work. During his training he was scouted by Imperial Intelligence and was later transferred into the Shadow Trooper Program.

After completing his training, he began going on classified missions under the command of the Imperial Agent Blackhole. The missions spanned from espionage to assassination.

With the exile of Agent Blackhole and death of Emperor Palpatine, the power of the Imperial Intelligence had diminished. Zann took this opportunity and left to join the Clandestine Shock Squad.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Growing Up

As early as Zann could remember, his only family had been other orphans like himself. They raised him, fed him, taught him. They did everything to give him the best life they could. When Zann became old enough to walk properly he began helping around the place as well. He would scavenge the trash filled streets and help steal their dinner from the local bar or trader. It wasn't the best life, but he had accepted it as his life.

#### Academy Life

Eventually though, Zann wanted more purpose in his life. He didn't want to have to scavenge for his food every day of his life and so he entered the Imperial Academy on Coruscant hoping for it to be his chance. During his time at the academy he made a few friends, but many looked down on him for being an orphan. This led to a multitude of fights, all ending in the same way: with his opponent on the ground. Although his record was filled with warnings from his constant fights, he was at the top of his class. Whether from his natural talent or his hard work, he excelled in his studies.

One day an Imperial Officer arrived at the school. They came to transfer Zann as he had been selected for a special program. It turned out to be the Shadow Trooper program. Zann was excited that he was selected for this privilege but his excitement soon changed to horror as the training officially began. It was a hellish cycle of physical and mental torture that broke down and rebuilt Zann over and over. The only breaks in-between sessions was the time he needed for sleep. This went on for 4 months and Zann gained permanent scars on his body from the training.

#### Shadow Trooper

With his training completed in 1 BBY, Zann became an official Shadow Trooper under the command of Imperial Intelligence and Agent Blackhole. Through his career he was put on many assignments. Spying on planetary governments, torturing rebels for information, and assassinating threats.

#### Clandestine Shock Squad

When Emperor Palpatine was killed, Zann wondered if the empire would truly last. Without it's leader, he wasn't sure if the Empire would be able to keep itself stable. The exile of Agent Blackhole was the final straw for Zann and he soon after left the weakened Imperial Intelligence to join the Clandestine Shock Squad, hoping to find a new path forward.
