Antan Azzameen

Antan Azzameen was the brother of Tomaas Azzameen. He co-founded the family shipping business, Twin Suns Transport Services, with his brother. He disapproved of his brother's, niece's and his nephews' involvement with the Rebellion.

Biography
Earlier in his life, Antan was rumoured to have duelled a prince from Jar'Kai and won, claiming a pair of swords, which became very precious to him. He never fathered any children, in contrast to his brother who had four. He had always said that Ace was a good boy.

When Tomaas and Galin in the Otana arrived at Twin Sun Station for repairs after a run in with Imperials at Hoth, Antan refused knowing that they could reach home themselves. A lot of customers had been waiting in line for repairs and Antan was not willing to give priority to his own family, especially since they weren't sure if the Imperials had identified the Otana or not.

When Antan learned about Ace's discovery of Spice in a cargo storage area left behind by the Enkidu, a Viraxo ship, he formulated a plan to make the Viraxo's plan backfire by delivering it to Viraxo 54, then provoking an Imperial response to investigate and discover the spice. Things didn't go as planned and the Selu was lost.

After Tomaas and Galin were lost when delivering Bacta to the Rebels he, along with Emon Azzameen went to gather what they could from their storage facilities. However, while doing so he got captured by the Viraxo although Emon managed to escape.

After Ace joined the Rebellion, Emon found out where Antan was. He was being held on an XQ5 Platform called Viraxo Industries. Emon and Ace rescued Antan from the platform and Ace was given his prized Jar'Kai dueling sabers as a reward.

He was also the plot to kill K'Armyn Viraxo in the Highroller but accidentally placed Ace and Emon into a trap, which the two managed to escape.

Antan then E-mailed Ace and asked to inform him about the Rebellion's movements in order to "avoid any Rebel and Imperial encounters in his travels." This request made the siblings suspicious.

Suspicions begun to flare up when the Rebels attacked the Azzameen Home Base, which had been sold to a mercenary group that was harassing the Bothans. Antan's ship, the Big Score, was seen operating in the area by the Azzameens on a mission to retake the station.

The whereabouts of Antan Azzameen during the intervening time was unclear, but Antan contacted Ace and Aeron and promised them he would explain why he was present there. He also asked them to help him rescue their captured family members Tomaas and Galin, claiming that it was he who was the leader of the mercenary group trying to split the Alliance apart in exchange for the lives of Tomaas and Galin.

After Andrasta and Otana followed Big Score to a Golan III platform near Kessel called Kessel Station, Antan betrayed Ace, Aeron, and Emon to the Empire, apparently in exchange for a pardon from whatever crimes he had been charged with, showing a complete lack of family alliegance. The Azzameen siblings were able to protect themselves from the incoming TIEs until family friend Dunari unexpectedly showed up and helped them escape the ambush.

What became of Antan afterwards is unknown, though Dunari and Emon both vowed revenge. As Dunari has been known to hire bounty hunters to kill his enemies, it is probable that Antan met his fate at their hands, though Emon may have gone after Antan himself as he was wont to do. This is, of course, pure speculation however, as no evidence has ever been given of what happened to him.

Personality and Traits
Unlike all of the other members of the Azzameen family, Antan had little, if any, Rebel sympathies. He was very uncomfortable with his family doing business with the Rebel Alliance or becoming members of the Alliance. He was not afraid to refuse help to his fellow family members or disagree with their ideas to support the rebels.

Antan did, however, debatably hold the strongest grudge of the family against the Viraxo. he viewed Tomaas's efforts to work out a deal with them with disdain and it was only when a Rebel mission involved stealing warheads from the Viraxo due to be delivered to the Empire that he agreed to lend aid to the Rebels.

Antan was able to make solid plans, but they occasionally went wrong, such as the attack on Viraxo 54, which involved losing the Selu, and the attack on the Highroller when somehow (probably a Viraxo spy or espionage device) K'Armyn Viraxo had got wind of Antan's plan and made an attempt to counter it which managed to place Ace and Emon in jeopardy.

One last thing to consider was that he was not above making deals with the Empire to save his own skin, even at the risk of the last remnants of his family.
