Obdar Kokure

Obdar Kokure is physically typical of his race, a small child like body atop extra long legs give him the look of someone standing in front of distorting mirror. Of course to Obdar and the typical Ashuri, Humans looks squat and out of all reasonable proportion. His dark hair is drawn back tightly in a scalp lock that leads an impossible leanness to his childish face.

Obdar has served his people all his life as a ranger fighting to reserve the beauty of the natural Ashur and protect it from the encroachment of poachers and game hunters. Smuggling of Lurmox ivory from Ashur is a lucrative and illegal industry and anything that is both lucrative and illegal sooner or later comes to the attentions of the Hutts. In the last few cycles Lurmox poaching has become an epidemic and organised crime seams to be both on the rise on Ashur and behind this problem.

Obdar and a small cadre of Ashur Rangers, now calling themselves the Wardens, have chosen to go beyond their mandate. They have no power to enforce law beyond their own system and have on several occasions been the cause of incidents with other law enforcers and representatives of the Bounty Hunters Guild. The Wardens have chosen to protect their beloved Ashur by pre-emptily striking at those they believe to be behind Ashur’s current problems.

The Wardens are currently travelling the Hutt frontier seeking information and conducting sting operations. While their methods and results have been controversial or in some cases attributed to other fringe groups, they do have a core of covert support back on Ashur.

Using Obdar Kokure in Game
  Obdar sees himself as performing a holy mission; the Wradens are trying to preserve not only the Ashur environment from being pillaged but also the Ashur culture and traditional way of life. Usually he passes himself off as a hunter of trophies, posing as those he hunts. He will we try to organise sting operations encouraging those who want to poach game on Ashur into hiring him as a guide and then leading them into a trap. Players could be encouraged to hire Obdar’s services or be hired to assist him in organising a sting.
