Physical Features: Tay'Ren has the traditional scarring of a Zabrak male on his face. His horns peek out from his shaved head, and his eyes seem sunken from his experience. His skin is pale, grayish, and seems to sag from his face.

Personality: Tay'Ren is silent and stoic, preferring to act rather than talk. Due to the underlying racism of the Imperial ranks, he avoids other people for fear of their hatred or dislike. He likes combat, if his training is any indicator, and does not shy from a fight, as his training record shows.

History: Tay'Ren comes from Iridonia, and his family were a line of well-to-do merchants. He grew up comfortably, without having what people would consider "a lot," his parents would not allow extravagance, but he had what he needed. He was happy, safe, and most importantly, sheltered from the racism of the new Empire. He had two brothers, whom he idolized, but they ended up as fighters and delinquents and later fell in with the Rebellion. They were both killed within months. He learned to hate the Rebels after that.

From the time he was six, he went to a mostly human school and did not get along well with the human students, learning anew of the racism some people felt. He fought often and was sent to a military school. It was slightly less than orthodox and he thrived there, where he was encouraged to fight to settle his problems. He did, and he gained the respect of his teachers, both for his willingness to take his problems head-on, and his penchant for having excellent grades in any and every class he took, from strategy to combat training.

Due to his grades and test scores there, he got a free ride to the Planetary Army Training Academy. He stayed there for months, progressing quickly through the ranks of Officer Training. His fellow Zabrak, whom he had not associated with due to his schooling, loved and respected him as an officer. During his third year at the Planetary Academy, he was drafted into the Imperial Academy. He lost his chances of being an officer on Iridonia, (if he had graduated, his commission could have been commuted) but he felt serving in the Imperial Army was the type of honor he could give it up for.
