Legend

generally regarded as a drunkard and a liar, this immense, Corellian man was a smuggler who liked to tell people that he wasn't always inebriated. Halbert stood nearly two and a half meters tall, and his large head was crowned a a messy mop of black hair. Much of his early career was marked by successful missions, until he started losing ships and crewmembers. Elias was suddenly a liability, and many of his old employers stopped calling. A huge man, Elias made a small ripple when he ended up on Socorro, as his reputation and his drinking preceded him. The Society of the Black Bha'lir accepted him, but they never made any effort to clean him up. However, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, he caught the attention of Abdi-Badawzi. The Twi'lek saw that Halbert retained a spark of potential, and took an interest in rehabilitating him. Halbert began making a concerted effort to clean up his act. He reworked a freighter, known as the Seldom Different, and struggled to stay sober while Abdi-Badawzi began funneling jobs his way.
