## Appearance

An unimposing man, Kadeem stands at a simple Five foot ten inches, and weighs approximately seventy seven kilograms. He is often seen with close cut dark black hair and in a, painstakingly proper, imperial officers uniform.

## Personality

Kadeem, though not lazy, is generally seen as a more beaten down individual. Having his career stonewalled at every opportunity has left him unambitious and somewhat of a defeatist. Though that is not to say he is lazy, he will diligently preform whatever task is asked of him, to the letter and is generally seen as a kind and sympathetic individual by his peers.

## Early Life

Born as the only son of Senator Araway Poyfar of Londor and Professor Sasamar Poyfar, Kadeem had a fairly privileged upbringing. Attending private schools for much of his early years, before enrolling at the Unity City Academy and working to attain a degree in political science, it was widely believed that he would follow in his fathers footsteps and pursue a career in politics. This would all change with the outbreak of the clone wars, and against his family's wishes, Kadeem would drop out of University and enlist in a volunteer reserve regiment of the Galactic Army of the Republic, surprisingly forgoing the use of his fathers influence and enlisting as a common Infantryman.

## Role in the Clone Wars

### Early War

Kadeem Spent a large part of the first year of the war serving onboard merchant vessels traveling along the Namadii Corridor, acting as security and assisting in the shipping and distribution of emergency relief supplies to several war ravaged planets. His first taste of combat would be when he and other members of his squad stationed onboard a Gozanti-class were forced to repel a boarding party of separatist privateers near the Vaced system. Though suffering several losses, Kadeem and his men where successful in repelling the boarders and ensuring the ships escape. For his bravery and leadership shown during the battle, Kadeem was Promoted to the Rank of Sergeant and assigned to lead a Squad of his own, being sent to serve as rear echelon troops during the battle of Parein II 4

#### Battle of Parein II 4 and Injury

During the second year of the war, a large number of the Londori Black Guard where deployed during the Battle of Parein II 4 and served as rear echelon troops, running supplies, extracting wounded troopers and helping to fill gaps in the republic defensive lines. During one skirmish with Confederate forces Kadeem and his squad where spearheading a Republic counter attack on a recently lost artillery battery, when a stray shot hit a ammunition's rack, causing it to detonate, killing several members of his squad and peppering Kadeem's leg with shrapnel . With the attack stalling due to both a lack of support and fierce Separatist resistance, Kadeem and his men where forced to fall back, abandoning the assault and not long after being rotated out of active service. The wounds Kadeem suffered during his battle proved to be severe enough that he was required to be transported off planet to a republic medical facility in the core worlds to undergo medical treatment.

##### Later years of the war

Due to the injuries that he sustained, Kadeem would be unable to participate in most of the battles of Durges Lance and spent most of the second and early part of the third year of the war undergoing several medical procedures to aid in his recovery. Finally after almost a full year of recovery Kadeem was discharged from the Hospital and sent back to his unit, which had been deployed to oversee relief efforts on the planet of Commenor. Kadeem and his unit would be stationed in the planets capital city, helping the local garrison and police forces maintain order in the wake of food shortages and overall civil unrest brought about by the fallout from Operation Durge's Lance. However this deployment would prove to be far more than a simple peace keeping mission, as about two weeks after Kadeem's unit arrived, a separatist invasion force made landfall on the planet, rapidly advancing until they were on the very edge of the capital city. Kadeem's unit, along with elements of the planetary defense force and about half a regiments worth of clone troopers from the 992nd Support Brigade. Though successful in holding the outskirts of the city, the unprepared defenders proved unable to hold the tide, and soon found themselves encircled and besieged. With the capital cut off, the men dug in, preparing to hold each street with their lives, and Kadeem soon found himself working around the clock with other members of the city's defenders, digging trenches and constructing impromptu fighting positions. The siege of the city would grind on for several grueling weeks, and though all of the separatists efforts to storm the city were successfully pushed back, each assault would prove to be more costly than the last, with a full half of Kadeem's unit either dead or wounded, and nearly three fourths of the Clones being wiped out. Eventually with their numbers dwindling, the beleaguered defenders retreated from the outskirts of the city, torching their defenses and anything that might have proved useful to the enemy, and took up new positions in the government and commercial district of the capital. It was at this time that the commanding officer of Kadeem's unit was killed, and command of the capitals defenses fell to the commander of the local PDF. With supplies running dangerously low, and separatist artillery pounding their position, it was believed that the capital was mere days from capitulation. However it was at this point that Republic reinforcements arrived above the planet and where able to make landfall south of the city. Together with the ragged defenders, they where able to launch a successful counter attack, driving the separatist forces into a full route in less than a week and securing a major strategic victory for the Republic
