Callandri

Callandri was a Human assassin and the leader of the Granse Confederacy.

Born on Tilam City, Pendal, Callandri had a life of crime since she was a little girl. She worked for different criminal groups on Pendal and eventually left to the stars. Even then, she chose to use the simple technology of her native world, particularly the slugthrower machine gun.

She found work as an "advisor" to a high executive of Kuat Drive Yards. Her exact work included assassinating her boss's enemies, including people inside and outside KDY. However, she decided to end her relation with KDY (Rumor says she resigned during a "hunt") to became a freelance bounty hunter with her older cousin, Zayl Braith.

Due to her resignation, the high executive sent five renowed bounty hunters after her. She defeated the hunters and sent them back to him... in pieces.

She then performed her first attempt on the life of Rebel lieutenant Alton Lochner. She found him on the Brawl and Grill establishment, in Trader's Quarter, Ord Mantell, and then entered the bar shooting. Although Lochner's life was saved by his friends, including the Wookiee Tirranna and Adazian Liebke, he spent weeks on the infermary. Tirranna since respected Callandri's skills, but also felt an intense hatred towards her.

Wanting to get even on Lochner and Tirranna, Callandri and Brayth attacked them again on Triewahl Docking Station, but they were again saved by their partners.

Callandri clearly wants to kill Lochner, although her motivations for this are not known.

She then recruited six alien bounty hunters to form the Granse Confederacy under her command (some people believe that the Confederacy was formed with the specific aim of killing Lochner). She met Arcuse, who had formed a partnership with Kiran Tatch and travelled by Rodick Tag; Arcuse decided that it would be a good team to join and the others followed him. She also met Milacass, Vadon Lenitor and Lu'daal-ud, who joined the Confederacy forfeiting their respective pasts. Soon, Callandri was good friends with Lenitor.

At this point of her life, Callandri was a muscled, attractive young woman with dark long hair braided into aconlins - a common hairstyle in Tilam City. She usually dressed in grey or black, using her clothes to hide weapons.

Callandri managed to get a Jadi Q-series land vehicle. She also killed Karu Nelbin and stole Nelbin's ship, the Nightcast. She then modified heavily the ship to adjust it to the Confederacy's needs.

In only months, Callandri made the Granse Confederacy a renowed force, and the Rebel Alliance became afraid of it. Vanden Willard wrote an extensive report on Callandri's activities, consulting Lochner and other survivors of her attacks.
