M'Kyas Love

M'Kyas Love, originally also known as Grandyl Grieve was a male Latarzian who was a dangerous assassin trained by the Empire. Sometime after the Battle of Endor, Grieve switched sides and began working for the the New Republic in their Intelligence Service, during this time he began going by the name M'kyas Love. In the opinion of his superior officer, General Airen Cracken, Love redeemed himself many times during his service with the New Republic. All records of Love being Grandyl Grieve were sealed by Cracken so that only the highest authorities in the New Republic could access them. Eventually, Love retired and opened Loose Cannon Arms, a weapon shop on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant.

Later, when an individual using the trademarks of Grandyl Grieve began to assassinate New Republic officials, General Cracken sent a young New Republic Intelligence agent named Daniera Karmany to request Love's help in tracking down the assassin before the person could assassinate the New Republic Chief of State, Leia Organa Solo. Love intially refused the request, but he changed his mind and began to help in the investigation. After Karmany and Love, had been investigating the assassinations for some time, Love was present with General Cracken and Major Cabe Marquez at the Maltesara Masquerade Benefit in order to protect the Chief of State. However, Karmony found out that Love was Grieve and believed that he was the assassin, so she came to the benefit in order to stop him. In her attempt to stop the assassination of Leia Organa Solo, Karmony shot Love in the shoulder. In response to the attack by Karmony, Love said that the assassin was Marquez. Attempting to complete his assignment, Marquez fired a dart shooter at Leia Organa Solo, which was stopped by a particle shield generator that had been given to Solo by Love. When Marquez pointed the dart shooter at Karmony and General Cracken, Love shot Marquez with his custom heavy blaster pistol ending the life of the assassin.
