Tony Vincent


History[edit]

Tony Vincent has always been a pilot. The son of a Air-taxi Driver and an exotic dancer on Nar Shaddaa, he grew up in a world of sex, drugs and Bith Metal. Addicted to Glitterstim Spice from a young age, he was forced to grow up very young, as his parents never had the time to properly raise him, and he got a job as a delivery boy for a small drug cartel when he was 10 years old. By the time he was 20, the young man was a trusted smuggler for the Desilijic Hutt Clan, running drugs, arms and occasionally even people across the Outer Rim. He was rather content with his lot, happy with his job and the steady stream of Glitterstim and women that it provided him. He had some measure of freedom, a good cash flow and a ship of his own.

Of course, when Jabba the Hutt was killed, shortly before the death of Emperor Palpatine, Tony found himself out of a job, and as the Empire started to fracture into splinter factions, he found himself in the territory claimed by the Vast Empire. As the VE started to crack down on the drug trade, Tony found himself getting boarded by an Imperial Customs crew...and immediately fell head over heels for the leader of the boarding party, one Staff Sergeant Illyria Voltres. The attraction was mutual, and Tony quickly enlisted in the VE's Military in order to be with her. His expertise with transport craft got him a job as a pilot of a Sentinel-Class Troop Transport.

Illyria has been a good influence on Tony, and he has managed to kick his spice habit, and although he still talks the underworld talk and has a natural disregard for authority, he has cleaned up considerably. Illyria is the woman that Tony wants to marry someday, and she has inspired him to become a better man. Transferred from his previous position piloting shuttles to the Starfighter Corps, Tony has adapted to the move far better than his fellow pilot Captain Tyler, and has taken the move in his stride.

Personality[edit]

Tony is a bit of a free spirit, and were it not for Illyria, he would likely have signed up with the New Republic instead of the Empire. He appreciates that the Vast Empire is nowhere near as oppressive as its predecessor, and is grateful for this. He has a caustic, sarcastic sense of humour and is intelligent, despite the fact he lacks any real education other than his VE training. He has trouble with understanding the idea of obeying for obedience's sake, and with understanding why laws exist, but he is trying his best to be a good soldier. For her sake.

He is friendly and outgoing, and is able to make friends wherever he goes. He doesn't have much time for overly serious people, however. His is also an artist in the cockpit, able to pull crazy stunts at the drop of a hat. He's eccentric, but he's a reliable pilot who is loyal to his Squadron, and does his best to make sure they don't get themselves killed. Amusingly, he seems to fly better when intoxicated.
Having flown with Captain Tyler for years now, the two have developed a close friendship, and their good-natured bantering serves as a source of humour for their squadron.
