Druhm Lesk

Intro to drum

Early Life (36 BBY+)
As a youth, Druh'm Lesk's life unfolded amidst the opulent halls of wealth and ambition, within the embrace of a Corellian mining dynasty. While the heart of their riches resided on Corellia, it was the distant and rugged expanse of Mimban that bore witness to the formative years of Druh'm's upbringing. Only on occasion did he return to the gilded halls of his home world, a place of higher learning and fleeting holidays.

His family's legacy was bound to the pursuit of the coveted ore, hyperbaride, and through shrewd endeavours, they transformed their fortune into an enduring status. The Circarpous Industries, the mining company that echoed through the corridors of power, stood as a testament to the Lesk family's tenacity.

Yet, amidst the splendour and opulence, there lingered shadows of tragedy. Druh'm's mother, a distant figure in his early memories, departed from his life when he was but a tender soul. Her absence was woven into the fabric of his existence, a void he could not fathom nor recall. His older brother, Rolko Lesk, held fragments of a tale that portrayed their mother as a pawn in a political game of power, her life entangled in a loveless union. The echoes of her fate whispered through Rolko's words, painting a portrait of a woman ensnared by the machinations of her own lineage, her light extinguished by the envy of kin.

Within the walls of privilege, Druh'm and Rolko danced a delicate and dangerous duet. Rolko, originally marked as the chosen heir, saw Druh'm not as a sibling, but as a rival. The grandeur of their father's gaze, Bashire Lesk, ignited fierce competition between them. Rolko's hunger for recognition knew no bounds, and he employed every stratagem to divert the spotlight away from Druh'm, to hoard their father's favor as his own.

In this cauldron of ambition and simmering tensions, Druh'm navigated the treacherous terrain of family dynamics and power plays. Each step he took was shadowed by the looming legacy of Circarpous Industries, a legacy he yearned to both uphold and transcend. The crucible of his youth would forge a path that led him through corridors of wealth, rivalries, and whispered secrets, setting the stage for the indomitable spirit that would define Druh'm Lesk in the years to come.

Military Academy (20 bby+)
In the wake of Rolko's calculated manoeuvrings, the balance of power within the Lesk dynasty shifted irrevocably. His gambit for their father's favour had succeeded, leading to Bashire's decree of 'exile' for Druh'm. It was a tradition steeped in the family's legacy, a harsh verdict for those deemed to have fallen short in the eyes of the patriarch.

Sentenced to the hallowed halls of the Republic Military Academy on Corellia, Druh'm's world transformed once more. The echoes of his past vied with the promise of an uncertain future. Within the academy's confines, bonds of camaraderie and shared purpose forged his path. Some faces were familiar, like the stalwart Jrul Frax, a steadfast companion from his Mimban days. Others were new, comrades in arms bound by the rigors of military training.

Immersed in the study of warfare, Druh'm's horizons broadened. The tales of ancient battles and the heroes of the Republic, once confined to inked pages, now unfolded before him as living history. Leadership and the weight of heavy armaments revealed themselves as his natural domains. The academy recognized his potential, offering him a tapestry of roles within the Galactic Republic's vast apparatus.

Yet, Druh'm's allegiance remained unwaveringly tethered to his roots, to the family that had both nurtured and tested him. The siren call of Mimban and Circarpous Industries held sway over his heart and conscience.

During his time in the academy, he had also met his soon to be wife, Le'ana Frus during a military training exercise with Planetary Defence Force of Corellia, the two met unintentionally during an accidental misfire from Miss Frus towards Lesk, not fatally injuring him but it had caused a confusing turn of events which had concluded into a date, as the two had a similar backstory although Miss Frus was albeit a little gloomier, with her family offering her an arranged marriage or military service.

War for Mimban (19 BBY +)
As the thunderclouds of war gathered on the horizon, Druh'm Lesk found himself standing on familiar soil, enlisted in the Mimbanese Defence Force. However, political fault lines on the planet had fractured the unity, plunging Mimban into a bitter civil strife. In those turbulent days,

Amidst the upheaval, Druh'm's father, Bashire, sought a heart-to-heart with his son, a conversation laden with the weight of family legacy. Druh'm's assurance that his allegiance remained steadfast to his kin and their storied enterprise seemed to resonate deeply with his father. Bashire went on to divulge a disconcerting truth about Druh'm's elder brother, Rolko.

It transpired that Rolko had diverted substantial resources into funding illicit spice operations, a gamble driven by envy and ambition. Seeking to forge his own path, Rolko had joined the ranks of the Corellian Military Academy, an attempt to carve out a niche in the world he believed had overlooked him. Bashire's attempts to reason with his elder son had fallen on deaf ears. Rolko argued that such endeavors would diversify the family business, heralding a new era of profitability.

The discord reached a breaking point, culminating in Rolko's dismissal from the family fold. In the wake of this pivotal decision, Bashire turned to Druh'm, a son who had proven his mettle through honorable service and a formidable alliance. With a mix of pride and gravitas, Bashire entrusted the mantle of heirship to Druh'm, a decision that both affirmed and surprised his son.

Druh'm, in a gesture that astounded even his father, agreed to the weighty responsibility. He pledged to steer the family legacy through the stormy seas of war and uncertainty. Bashire, moved by the depth of his son's commitment, was further astonished by the revelation that a new generation would soon grace their lineage—a granddaughter, a beacon of hope and continuity.

Amidst the chaos of the Mimbanese schism, Circarpous Industries navigated a path of neutrality. To safeguard their holdings on Mimban, they birthed Circarpous Contractors, an affiliate Private Military Contracting Company. Though unseasoned, the PMC proved adept at safeguarding the company's interests and preserving their properties amidst the tempest of civil conflict.

The fires of war raged on his homeworld, and yet he felt a profound obligation to protect his family's legacy. With Le'ana by his side, they engaged in fervent discussions, wrestling with the weighty decision that loomed before them.The correspondence from his steadfast friend Jrul Frax echoed with conviction. The Republic, he argued, stood as the beacon of stability and the surest guarantor of Circarpous Industries' security. The separatist alternative, a path marred by xenophobia and disregard for the native Mimbanese, clashed violently with Druh'm's deeply ingrained beliefs. To him, diplomacy and unity were not mere ideals, but the very bedrock of progress.With Le'ana's understanding and blessing, Druh'm embarked on a clandestine transformation. Shedding his name and adopting a new identity, Rooltas Dever, he ventured forth into the crucible of war. Le'ana, bearing the weight of their family's future, tended to their children, Kre'ana and Morzo, with steadfast resolve.As Rooltas Dever, Druh'm found himself amid the ranks of the Mimbanese Liberation Army (MBLA), waging a covert war against the separatist forces. The theatre of combat unfolded in a relentless dance of guerrilla tactics, a gruelling stalemate that tested the mettle of every soldier. Though his true identity remained concealed from the majority of the military, a select cadre of officers held the key to his secret. These individuals, bound by political alliance to his father, stood as vigilant guardians of Druh'm's covert mission. They ensured that the veil of secrecy held fast, shielding his true purpose from prying eyes.
