Shak Los

The youngest child of a wealthy exporter on Manaan, Shak Los grew up with little supervision and almost no interest from his parents. While his siblings were all passionate about learning their father's trade, Shak's attentions were everywhere but his future livelihood.

When he reached adulthood, Shak's family grew tired of entertaining his fruitless dalliances. They gave him an ultimatum: join the family business, or lose all monetary support. Reluctantly, Shak gave in.

While working with his family, Shak grew close to one of his father's partners, who helped Shak grow his own network of business contacts. As Shak earned more of the partner's trust, he began to teach Shak the cutthroat trade methods that had made him successful, including a few that were less than legitimate.

Eventually, Shak amassed enough wealth to buy out the entirety of his father's exporting empire. He ejected his siblings and his father from the company, and changed the purpose of the business to acquiring priceless antiquities--by any means necessary--for the highest bidders.
