# Early Life

## Birth and Enslavement

**Larian Candor** was born into a world of turmoil. His father was a pilot of significant skill who had fallen onto hard times. when his skill at flying came to the attention of a Criminal Lord who ran a smuggling ring, he was forced to join the operation and help smuggle. When Larian was about 8, the recent success of the operation came to the attention of a rival Kingpin, Ziro Desilijic Tiure. Ziro looked into the success and found it was mostly due to Larian's Father. Ziro soon orchestrated the kidnapping of Larian's family and had Larian's Father killed before the young boy's very eyes. Larian and his mother were forced into servitude by the Hutt. Larian developed a close relationship with his mother over the time they were enslaved, though she died a two years later. Eventually Larian got the opportunity to escape and took it at the age of only 16.

## Escape from Coruscant

It was through chance that Larian's life improved for the better. Following his escape from the slimy clutches of Ziro, Larian began to make his climb to the upper levels of the city. It was during his attempt to leave the lower levels that he was waylaid by some of Ziro's thugs. He managed to fend off two of them but was some cornered by the last. It was then that Alexsandr Badure shot out the brains of the remaining thug. Alexsandr Badure was a member of the faculty at the Academy of Carida, a prominent military academy. Highly impressed with Larian's skill-at-arms, he made Larian an offer: to study at the Academy of Carida free of charge. Larian jumped at such an offer. He had no job or any remaining family so he took the offer and was soon on his way to Spinara Plateau on the planet of Carida. Before he witnessed the marvels of this lush planet, he first experienced seeing the sky for the first time something he had never seen before. It was one of the most beautiful sights he had ever laid his eyes upon and yet was nothing compared to what he had to witness on Cairda

# Education

## Military Education

Arriving on the planet of Carida was the first time Larian had gazed upon true beauty. The planet to him was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, the varied planet from its luscious forests to its icy mountains was to Larian nothing short of perfect. He witnessed further extraordinary sights when he landed at the Academy, amazed by the structure which had stood for so long. The ancient walls within which had trained so many before him, were now to be the young man's home for the next six years. Over his six years at the Academy Larian became a very talented pilot and exceptionally talented with both blaster pistols and rifles. Over his time at the Academy, specifically under Alexsandr Badure's tutelage, Larian gained an affinity for the DL-44 Blaster. Off the battlefield Larian became a highly capable tactician, particularly in the fields of guerrilla warfare and in land assaults, nevertheless a skilled tactician in naval battles. Due to his interest in all things regarding the military, Larian studied a further 2 years at the Academy than the normal four year course. Over the extra two years he covered Military Engineering and helped to train younger pupils in order to improve his leadership abilities. During his time at the Academy he also learned how to be an inspiring leader and how to get the best out of those around him. Larian Graduated from the Academy a more disciplined and skilled man. Refreshed and reinvigorated with purpose Larian flew back to his homeworld of Coruscant, where he had a high-ranking officer job in the Coruscant Home Defense Fleet. He intended to begin his career as a member of the military and thought that is where he would stay.

## Prelude to Politics

Larian during his time at the Academy of Carida had begun to take an interest in politics. Despite the job he had lined up in the Coruscant Home Defense Fleet, he began to consider the possibility of becoming directly involved himself, a particular allure being the possibility of fixing the crime had had plagued his early life in the lower levels of Coruscant. He also made the realisation that his newfound leadership abilities might serve him well in politics. Larian postponed beginning at the Coruscant Home Defense Fleet so that he might explore this alternate avenue. Now at the age of 22, Larian applied for a part time job working at a restaurant and simultaneously applying to the Diplomatic Institute. Having being granted a place, Larian began working exceedingly hard to not only excel at the Institue but also to be able to afford the fees. The two years of his shortened course passed and he graduated from the Diplomatic Institute with flying colours, skilled in Politics, Law and Diplomatic matters. He decided that he would continue in politics and informed the Coruscant Home Defense Fleet of his intentions, ended his contract waiting at a restaurant and sought out a job that would make use of his newfound expertise.

# Career

## Politician and Supreme Chancellor

Having made up his mind to engage in politics, Larian joined the Centralist Party and quickly rose through the ranks becoming first the junior Representative for Supreme Chancellor Joseph Ibney and then the Supreme Chancellor's Press Secretary. He took on both of these positions with enthusiasm and quickly began regular Press Releases from the Chancellor's Office along with drafting numerous legislative offerings for the Senate.
Soon after, he was elected into the Executive Council of the Centralist party and made his intention to run for Vice-Chairman known publicly. He won the position of Vice-Chairman in a prty-wide election, gaining all except two votes in the election. Candor soon went on to fight a fierce battle with Admiral Esp Joralis for the Senate Seat in the Northern Dependencies managing to win following the hard-fought campaign season. He was soon chosen as Minister for Justice under the third Ibney Government, owing in part to his legal practise at the Diplomatic Institute. When Joseph Ibney stepped down due to medical issues, Candor stepped up to the plate and became Chairman of the Centralist Party. He also took over from his mentor as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic in an emergency election.

Larian Served as the Supreme Chancellor for two and a half terms following.
