Jae Hedari - History: Clawing one's way up from nothing and into the lap of luxury is no easy or simple feat, neither is it something the faint of heart or weak of stomach could hope to achieve in ten lifetimes, let alone their own. Even more difficult is managing to hold onto this sliver of livelihood once you have claimed it. For those who covet what you have worked for will become legion, a manifold accumulation of jealousy and anger and bitter resentment. Thus was the life of Jae Hedari, a woman who sought to better her lot in the Imperial hierarchy through whatever methods she had at her disposal.Of course, this is no simple matter of petty theft or minor crime.The Cold Trade is a vast, sprawling means of black market commerce dabbled in by no small amount of petty crime lords. But the leader in this field is the sector-wide organised crime syndicate known as the Kasballica, a ruthless criminal organisation that is prolific in the seedy underbelly of the Calixis Sector and beyond. And it is a family Jae has long been a member of, if albeit a troubled one.She made no small number of enemies out of her embittered rivals, individuals she has outperformed and outwitted in the cutthroat world of the Cold Trade. It has left her with something of a bloody target on her back. But it is no worse than the one she has lived with since the moment she accepted to be counted among the criminal scum of the Imperium.However, things have only gotten harder as the delicate ecosystem of the void station of Footfall is thrown further out of balance. And only time will tell if she is able to adapt to the change and come out on top as she always has before.The first step to adapting and keeping ahead of the competition always begins with securing an unassailable business partner, and there is no one more unassailable than a Rogue Trader. None other than the recently-installed Lord Captain of the von Valancius dynasty themself.In a time when Jae's fortunes have turned against her and once begrudging allies have become sharks amid bloodied waters, the chance encounter with a Rogue Trader on Footfall is a boon unlike any other. But negotiations are a tricky thing. Even more so when, at the time, you have your present livelihood under direct attack by your competitors. Worse still when the few people you trusted to have your back in such an uncertain time have become staunch opposition. However, Jae has always found opportunity amid hardship. And the appearance of one of the God-Emperor's chosen few may well be the turning point for something even greater than she could have imagined.However, Rogue Traders are always a wily and unpredictable lot -- some as liable to gun someone down in cold blood as gifting them a lifetime's worth of thrones and patronage.But Jae is, as ever, fit to bursting with tricks and ways to have them see reason. And if the Lord Captain of the von Valancius dynasty might help her with a spot of recovering some of her ill-gotten gains, then there may be a future in which great, lucrative business might be done between them.There are many perks that come with finding a niche to fill within one of the wider organisations that span the Imperium, connections and sway within greater spheres of influence being one of them. However, it takes a delicate touch and a strong arm in order to turn opportunities such as those into tangible results. Something that takes standard years of dedication to master. But often those who pursue such livelihoods find themselves at the business end of an autopistol when they try wading through too big a pond before they are ready to handle the sharks swimming within.Jae Hedari might be one such individual.
