Makintay, Stevan
this young man was part of the nobility on the planet Hargeeva. Like all yong noble males, he was sent to the royal guards for formal military training. As the eldest son, Mak - as he was known to his friends - was also the heir to the throne of Hargeeva. He learned the intricate ways of swordsmanship, and had the scars to prove it, inlcuding one that ran down his right cheek. He was also a graduate of the Imperial Academy, and became a skilled starfighter pilot. However, back on Hargeeva, Mak fell in love with Ketrian Altronel. He intended to marry her, despite her position as a member of the common calsses, but his father wouldn't allow it. Mak was disinherited and his father arranged for him to be kidnapped and sent off to Garen IV, an Imperial penal colony. Many years later, he and a group of Alliance agents managed to escape, and Mak immediately joined the Alliance. He spent much of his free time working to establish a rebel cell on Hargeeva, and he eventually led the rebels in a large-scale revolt. His role as a rebel leader on Hargeeva earned him the death mark in the system, but he continued to work to free his homeworld. In the meantime, he worked hard for the Alliance in many capacities, from Eyrie Base. When he returned again to Hargeeva, Mak was captured by Nial Pedrin while trying to see Ketrian. She had been told by Mak's father that he had abandoned her, and she felt no love for him. However, they were captured by Pedrin's forces and shipped off to Coruscant. During the trip, Ketrian's good friend Alikka Nolan was killed during interrogation, and she began to believe Mak. When the Ghawem pirates attacked their ship, Mak and Ketrian were allowed to go free. They returned to Eyrie Base and began working together for the Alliance.
