BACKGROUND
The only biological child of Lucien Dooku, Heir to the now shattered Empire, and Auteme Denko-Durren, former Chancellor of the Galactic Alliance, Damien possesses a legacy that he's yet to accept, nor come to grips with the weight that his name carries in the greater history of the Galaxy in which he was born. Much like his father, Damien's always been a bit of a maverick, a free-spirit who went against the grain if his heart told him it was the right thing to do. The absence of his father affected his development greatly, as his teen years became defined by his rebellion against both his mother and the Jedi Order itself. He was a turbulent youngling, only making it to Padawan by the skin of is teeth. Unfortunately this promotion would last no more than a handful of months. A massive argument with his mother would precede him breaking another Padawan's nose, and he would find himself kicked out despite the circumstances not being so cut-and-dry.
Damien wouldn't let this failure get the best of him, though. He decided to take off on his own into the galaxy at large, unknowingly mirroring the same path that his father walked all those decades in the past. He delved into the Underworld at the age of fifteen and found himself took under the wing of one Jinnosha the Hutt. The Crimelord had once been a friend of his father, and Jinnosha would serve as a quiet ally over the years, watching over a young Damien as a favor to his late father.
The Underworld would be his home as the months turned into years, and it became apparent that he was damned good at being a scoundrel. Despite his mother's insistence that he come back home to Coruscant, Damien's nascent force-sensitivity, when combined with his guile, charm and abnormal amount of luck, would allow him to thrive. Embracing the grim and glamour that followed a scoundrel's destiny, eventually his choices would catch up with him. An unexpected vision in the force would trigger his sudden appearance back on Coruscant just shy of his eighteenth birthday, the whole ordeal ending in his arrest.
He would've been off to a prison were it not for a benefactor arranging for him to escape. They were a rising Vigo within Black Sun known as Razir Teyzhyn, and the conniving bastard used the opportunity to blackmail him into his employment. Heavier charges were levied against him at the behest of Razmir's associates in the Core, leaving Damien a wanted man for the foreseeable future to come.
He spent two years working for Black Sun, biding his time under Razmir's thumbs until he finally made his move to break away. Damien's gambit would end with the theft of the Vigo's personal freighter, and for good measure his two dogs were stolen in the process. The high-flying adventure that followed would see a number of new faces enter his life; a few of them quickly became people he could trust, and soon his new ship, the On the Mauve, was bustling with its own crew. It started as a joke, but eventually the name they called themselves would stick-- at least among themselves.
The Scoundrel Gang.
