Argdran, Mikos
this short, pudgy man was something of an infochant, playing the Elrood-Derilyn Trade Route and exchanging useful information with the highest bidders. He was once employed by Lud Chud, but doublecrossed the Rakaan crimelord by alerting Tanda Pryl and the Thunderflare of an attack by Chud's forces. The pirates were decimated at the hands of a fully-prepared Imperial Star Destroyer, and Mikos was captured. Lud Chud then discovered that Argdran had stolen a number of computer datafiles, and had a team of bounty hunters throw Mikos out of a passing cargo ship. Luckily for Mikos, a team of Alliance agents was passing by the area, on a search for Shondra Del. Lud Chud, upon learning of Argdran's survival, employed a team of Loag assassins to hunt down Mikos, and the Alliance team was forced to travel to Merisee to throw off the pursuit. The Loag were able to track Argdran by the weak signal produced by the stolen datafiles. However, Argdran and the Alliance team were rescued from the assassins by the Thunderflare, believing they were simple ore transporters. Argdran, however, was captured by the Empire on Derilyn and forced to fight in the Arena of Games. After being rescued by Shondra Del, he pledged his support to the Alliance.
