Carter Moran

"I'm not a criminal. I'm doing what I need to keep on going."

- Carter Moran

Early Life
Raised on the desert streets of Tatooine, Carter Moran was a thief from the getgo. Stealing credits, food, water, equipment, anything he needed to provide for his sister Sarah. Eventually, he landed in trouble with the Hutt Cartel and was forcefully recruited to work as a smuggler to pay off his debt, or else the Hutts would abduct his sister and sell her into slavery. Once his debt was paid off, however, the Hutts demanded he continued his employment due to his talents, again under threat of selling his sister into slavery. He denied their request, moving his sister of Tatooine and taking them both into hiding. The Hutts then put a price on both of their heads. Determined to keep his sister free of the Hutts, he brought her to Coruscant and had her identity changed while he would lead them on and keep their focus on him. During his exodus, he discovered that he was wanted by the Hutts due to the fact he was Force Sensitive.

Later, Kanjiklub had offered to pay off his bounty to the Hutts in exchange for his services as a smuggler, as well as the technical components to build a lightsaber. During his travels, he bonded with a kyber crystal found in the depths of the Kashyyyk forests as well. Once his business with Kanjiklub was finished, they ended up double-crossing him to claim his kyber crystal and sell it to the First Order in exchange for more operational freedom to conduct their business. He ended up evading Kanjiklub's efforts to capture him, garnering him animosity from them as they hired the Mercenary Guild to kill him and reclaim the kyber crystal from his now-functional lightsaber.

Formal Training
While on the run from Kanjiklub, and evading the Mercenary Guild, Carter met a former Jedi turned mercenary named Kaiden Fey, who offered to aid the youthful smuggler in his endeavors and train him in the art of saber combat and instruct him on how to use the Force. This training helped him prolong his life and learn to better fend off against the constant threat of the galaxy's criminals trying to kill him. He's since been roaming the galaxy as a smuggler, helping those in need whenever he can and making life miserable for the First Order when he gets the chance.

Personality
Carter is a man that cared for the sister he helped lived with on Tatooine, resigning himself to doing anything he must to defend her. This also applied to the very small circle of friends and allies that he began meeting during his travels across the galaxy. Rather fearful of major confrontation, Carter will often take whatever road necessary to avoid major conflict unless necessary. He will often try to talk his way out first, but will more often than not fall back on his lightsaber and blaster to get him out of a bind.
