People Person - "Don't let his well-intentioned fatherly tone fool you. The guy's a borderline megalomaniac, and as power hungry as his ancestors ever were. Despite this... Most of the galaxy seems to think he's a great guy. I don't know how he does it. But he is very good with people. Far more charming than his father ever was."
Corporate Intellect - "You'd think all that drinking in his youth would've done a number to the old noggin. We could only hope. In only 19 years he's doubled the corp's already enormous size, profits are on the rise, and the investors talk about him like he's their own personal messiah. No wonder he's got that ego."
'Honorable' - "Though it may not seem like it, he does have his own.. Unique sense of honor. Largely relating to his family reputation, that of himself, and his business. He'll act uncharacteristically irrational if someone threatens the reputation, and face of any of those things, making it a considerable weakness of his."
In relatively fit shape for his age, Saro stands at around 6'1", and weighs around average for someone of his sex, age, and height. Often exercising to maintain his physical condition, he otherwise has a small army of doctors, and other medical, and health professionals surrounding him on a near daily basis, and at his beck and call for whenever they are needed. His once jet black hair has become to gray, and though his age is showing, he has aged well. Which can be expected from a man in his position. Typically in suits when out in public, in his private life, he wears the traditional robes of his people.
Born in a hospital baring his family name, on Coruscant, from the moment Saro came into the world, he was pampered with a life of unimaginable luxury and decadence, for the reason of simply existing. Attending among the greatest schools in the galaxy, Saro's teaching was often done by hologram, as he spent much of his time travelling throughout known space, alongside his father, Szuko Nakaioma, CEO of the Nakaioma Corporation, and arguably one of the most powerful private citizens alive. Being taught the family business from an early age, some of Sako's fondest memories with his father were of them touring new factories, and facilities together, he could remember it being some of the only times he saw his father, otherwise a cool, expressionless man, become enthused about something. As he grew into his teenage years, his relationship with his father deteriorated, with the two clashing over differences in lifestyle, and ideology.
Young and reckless, Saro was known among the elite of the core worlds as being a frequent partier, borderline alcoholic, and unabashed womanizer who spent most of his time on his private ship, hopscotching back and forth between the luxury worlds of the core, to take in the strange, and exotic, both in locale, food, drink, and women. Differing from his father greatly when it came to this regard, given his more liberal view of near-humans. Crossing paths with the wrong side of the law on more than one occasion, to the extent that his father had left him to rot in a cell on his most recent arrest, a lesson that Saro would most certainly end up taking to heart as he yet grew older. Eventually beginning to repair the damaged relationship that he had become to maintain with his father, as he went from a boy, to a young man, maturing by no small amount in his early twenties.
Developing a keen interest in atmospheric technologies as he searched for an alternative to his prior immature lifestyle, he would go on to graduate from a prestigious university on Coruscant following four years of studying at a course of that nature, one which his father's corporation funded. Shortly after his tenure at university, Saro would be given ownership of GalactiCom Holocommunications, while his younger siblings were each given partial, or full-depending on their father's faith in them-control over the other subsidiaries of the corporation. Unlike his younger siblings however, Saro was allowed relatively free reign over his corporation. It was during this time that GC took control of the Orbital Broadcast Network media corporation, a bid that was successful in-part due to Saro's own leadership of the firm. A triumph, and the first of many during his years' long ruling of the subsidiary, which would go on to expand tenfold under his close oversight and supervision, showing his natural inclination towards business, along with the skills he had been taught as a young boy.
It was also around this time, that he would meet his future wife, a woman who had attended the same university as he had, and someone who he had seen, and spoken to on several occasions during his time there; and who was now working at GalacticCom as an engineer. Intelligent, passionate, and of a reasonable class, and stature, being the daughter of a moderately well-off family. She was the perfect woman in both Saro's eyes, and in the eyes of his father, who had for sometime now been pressuring him to begin a family of his own, as to secure without question the continuation of his bloodline. They married both at the age of twenty nine, and his new wife was pregnant with their first child, a son, less than a year later. Their second child, a daughter, would come a year after that, while their third, and forth children, twins, one boy and one girl, would come two years following that.
However, as he entered his thirties, Saro's relationship with his father would once again deteriorate, as it had over a decade prior. This time, having little to do with personality, or lifestyle, but purely ideology, and views on the future of Nakaioma. Having gotten a taste for the corporate world during his time at GC, Saro had proven himself to be a powerful, and effective leader, and one with a newfound lust for power, and control. Wishing to grow the conglomerate to even greater heights than it had already reached, and decrying the family business as having taken far too long to have reached where it was. Resulting in several loud fights with his father, over Saro's claims in-particular that under his vision, Nakaioma would be the greatest corporation in the galaxy. True or not in reality, to Saro it was.
When his father died, following an unexpected industrial accident, Saro had still to once more repair their relationship. He was heart-broken, and many believe that to this day he carries that shame with him, still personally upholding and maintaining his family's traditional values and customs as such. After a mandatory month-long period of grieving throughout the conglomerate, Saro was seated as the new chairman of the board, and chief executive officer of the corporation. Grooming his eldest son in a manner similar to, but far more involved, than his father had with him. Determined to be a better father, and teacher, than what he had been subject to. Over the course of his nineteen years in office as CEO, the Nakaioma Corporation would not only weather several wars, and galactic disasters, but thrive because of them. The firm would enter a far more ruthless, and expansionist era under Saro.
Saro Nakaioma's personal superyacht is a relatively hidden pleasure of his. Though decadent, it is too comfortable to ignore. Around 400 meters long, it is filled to the brim with state-of-the-art home technologies, some of the fastest HoloNet connections anywhere, and a large, heated swimming pool, most of which provided by ESASHI, a subsidiary of Nakaioma. Entirely unarmed, and without any notable defenses, as it is typically escorted by a number of other, security vessels. Most systems on-board the superyacht are automated, with only Saro, his security detail, and servants usually being allowed on-board.
