Griff Vao

Griff Vao was a Twi'lek whom of which was the elder brother of Mission Vao. Griff was always getting loans for his schemes of easy enrichment. They failed, of course, and he was never able to repay his debts. which soon became enormous; he had to leave the planet. His sister remembers their trip to Taris. Hiding inside a packing crate on a freighter, barely having enough supplies.

On Taris, their life was only harder. Griff and Mission had to survive in the hostile Lower City overrun by swoop gangs. Griff also often visited the Lower City cantina to play Pazaak. There he met Lena, a Twi'lek dancer, and fell in love with her. Lena, however, was used to dating Tarisian nobles, and Griff was not nearly wealthy enough to provide her with the expensive things Lena wanted. Eventually, Griff had to leave Taris, escaping his debts once again, but this time together with Lena, leaving his twelve-year-old sister behind - although he promised her he would return as soon as they earned enough credits to live like royalty. Since then, Mission always thought it was Lena who made her brother forget about her. It is unknown what happened to griff from there on.
