Name: Kaela Paltro
Loyalties: Ignus Industries and Darth Ignus
Role: Kaela is the COO of Ignus Industries, and deals with public relations for the company as well.
Development Threads: None
Age: 34
Species: Mirialen
Appearance: Kaela has long, dark hair and pale blue eyes, uncharacteristic of her species. She's what most would call a genetic abnormality. And while her tattoos aren't numerous, each indicates her fluency in a particular language. Other than these tattoos she has unblemished skin. She prefers to dress in a manner of superior business attire. The cut of her garb is vaguely reminiscent of Imperial upper echelons blended with a sophisticated taste of public glitterance. That is to say it says she's generally superior, but is open and approachable at the same time.
Personality: Like her attire, there's a distinct air of superiority about her. She takes her work very seriously and she's very good at it. This has led to a somewhat inflated ego that is readily available for learning about if you cross her. That said, she's an extremely personable individual, and rather enjoys talking to strangers. It's not hard to get on her bad side, but most people don't usually do so. She loves fine art, and the one thing that will woo her away from work is an art exhibit.
Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
Weapon of Choice: Wits, though she isn't afraid to use a blaster if she absolutely has to.
Skills: She's a skilled linquist, capable of speaking many different tongues fluently.
Wealth: She's substantially rich. She easily earns several million credits per year as the COO of Ignus Industries. She's not wanting for anything.
Combat Function: She is a non-combat NPC. The best she can do is fire a blaster at someone, though she'd much rather let other people do that. She's more likely to be taken hostage than kill someone.
Notable Possessions: She owns a nice home on Telos in the countryside and is the owner of a luxury space yacht. She's a collector of fine art, as well, and her home is decorated with numerous expensive pieces.
History: Kaela was born in the same village as Leos, but before he was. When he left the planet, she remained there, quietly building a business in teaching the upper echelons to speak the languages she had come to be fond of (Basic, Huttese, Mirialan, Bocce, Durese, and Mando'a). Though the two had not been close friends in Leos' childhood, when he did return to Mirial to look for a confidant to help him in running Ignus Industries, Kaela quickly became the obvious choice. Her linguistic skills, especially in the dominant galactic trade languages, would allow her to communicate with almost any client in relatively easy fashion. In addition, he found her personable and welcoming, though not someone to be trifled with. She would possess the sturdy backbone necessary to stand up to harsh clients, unruly workers, and antagonistic competitors, while still being able to illicit smiles and encourage spending from the galactic populace. Leos hired her on as his COO in the very early days of the company and relocated her to Telos where she has lived ever since.
Intent: While Leos is the CEO of Ignus Industries, and the primary owner. He does not meet with clients or media under any circumstances. This is largely to avoid people being able to identify him and then associating him with the company. Instead, Kaela serves as the person that people can talk to about business propositions, contracts, and media events.
