Biography
"I wasn't born an Imperial Missionary."

- Ethan Adare

Ethan Adare worked as a mechanic in his early life before joining the Imperial Mission, an organization dedicated to serving the poor and less-fortunate.

While in Mos Eisley in 137 ABY, Adare noticed a crying Zeltron in the robes of an Imperial Missionary, and approached her, asking if she was new to the planet. Unknown to him, however, the Zeltron was not an Imperial Missionary, and was really pirate Deliah Blue, who needed a new trivalve for her ship to get off the planet.

Introducing herself as Astraal Vao, she asked for directions to the Mission house. Adare was happy to meet her, and asked her to accompany him. One the way there, she bluffed to the man that a moisture farmer who had helped her before himself needed the trivalve. Adare was happy to provide, but first showed her the Mission's efforts to the impoverished, boring her and testing her patience.

The following night, Adare brought the trivalve Blue's ship, the Mynock, parked on the outskirts of the city. After noting that it was rather large for a moisture farmer, Blue drew her blaster on him, confessing her true status as a pirate. She allowed him to leave, but he said he would tell the authorities if he got away, and that her only choice was to kill him. Blue was not a murderer and could not bring herself to do it, conceding to him and lowered her weapon. Adare then revealed that he knew she was not a Missionary from the start, as he had actually met Astraal Vao in the past. Deliah told him her true name, and began crying, believing that she had failed in her task. However, Adare comforted her, telling her to keep the part. He asked why she didn't just ask for help, and she replied that no one would just give her the part, especially being a criminal. He then told her she was worth more than she saw herself, and asked if he could help her in installing the part. Blue remarked that the Mynock was a spaceship, not a speeder, but Adare informed her he was not always a Missionary and got to work, successfully installing it with her help.

Behind the scenes
Ethan Adare first apeared in chapter 38 of Star Wars: Legacy. He appears to be based on Shephard Book from the series Firefly, bearing similar appearences, mind sets, and sharing the line "I wasn't born a __". Blue, Cade, and Syn being stuck on Tatooine because of a broken engine part is even similar to the Firefly episode Out of Gas.
