Sarlim Gastess

Sarlim Gastess was one of the rare, unfortunate Gotals with non-functional head cones. Without the natural ability to sense emotions, he was a clinical psychopath by Gotal standards. Despite this disability, or possibly because of it, he became a successful and ruthless businessman in the Parmic Sector of the Outer Rim Territories during the Imperial era. Gastess was feared by other Gotal, but he functioned well among non-Gotal, using his overbearing personality to make up for his poor eyesight and hearing.

His company, Gastess' Finance, Inc., operated by executing hostile takeovers of smaller companies, firing the existing management, and running them into the ground for a quick infusion of credits. Afterwards, the company would be either be sold off or disbanded, with its assets liquidated. Eventually, even planetary-sized corporations were targeted by Gastess' Finance. After Gastess was finished with a planetary corporation, the inhabitants were open to exploitation or even slavery by the Empire.

Sarlim Gastess was a rude, overbearing bully who enjoyed the destruction of his adversaries. He ruled his company with an iron fist. He usually carried a blaster pistol openly on his right hip.
