APPEARANCE:
Zaal is like almost any other Twi’lek as he sports a lean, yet muscular build. His skin is a unusual Amethyst color that attracts attention from others, and his eyes are a emerald green. Like all other twi’leks Zaal sports twin leeku, but his extend far past the center of his back and reach around the bottom of his waist if not a bit further. Such a thing proves to be more of a problem then a asset as he always has to be careful with them. They are a great source of pride for Zaal and trying to touch them without permission is the easiest way to get on his bad side. As denoted by his position Zaal can usually be seen wearing loose robes that don’t show off his true body. Tattoo’s are spread lightly across his forehead and the beginning of his leeku, though can be found at other places on his body such as his arm and back.
BIOGRAPHY:
Unlike most of the more unlucky Twi'leks in the galaxy Zaal was no slave. He was no ones toy or plaything to eye. No he was born someone important, or at least that's what he thought. In reality he was still nothing but a trophy to the members of his clan, they only saw use in Zaal because he was in line to be one of the clan heads. Him and the other four twi'leks were granted the best education that could be provided even if it meant bringing off worlders to the planet to teach them. They were also taught the warrior ways of the twi'leks and after a strict day of studying could only come home to training to hone their bodies and skills in the name of their ancestors. Though this was mainly for show just to impress the other clans and members of society. It was a job that Zaal did not want, and one that he despised. He was forced to watch as his people were sold into slavery, used, abused. All manner of terrible things that his family willingly did just to keep their status and coffers filled. It was sickening to the young boy.
In his teen years as he began coming into his own Zaal had met one of the female slaves of the estate and took up conversation with her. She slowly became the jewel of his eye as he'd sneak off in the middle of the night to meet with her, to make plans with her. To plan out a life with her where she could be free and no longer be constrained by their culture. Where they could become their own people. It was his first and last chance at an escape from his clan. Yet it had failed and in turn he had doomed the one person he had truly loved. One of the clans spies had been following him keeping track of the young boys actions and upon seeing how infatuated and insistent on leaving Zaal was the clan sentenced the female twi'lek to death. They may not have done it themselves but they sent the women out into the dessert of Ryloth where she didn't stand a chance.
Broken and rage filling him Zaal swore vengeance. So he bid his time playing the role of the perfect clan member. He attended his classes and whatever meetings were needed of him, and excelled at them. Then as the clan finally let their guard back down and accepted him into the fold Zaal struck. Over the years he had been orchestrating and letting the freedom fighters of Ryloth steal slaves and items of great value from all the major clans of Ryloth. Even helped them orchestrate attacks on them, though he planted evidence that made it seem like the Kepi clan had been the one's behind it. This led to an all out attack on his clan when Zaal just so happened to have left the planet. His final act was bankrupting his whole clan and having the credits transferred to himself. That way if any survived the attack on the Kepi estate they had nothing left. They would know how Zaal felt when they took his love and life away from him. How the slaves they sold had felt.
