Hesk'l, Brin
this man was a noted treasure hunter who traveled the galaxy during the last decades of the Old Republic. He traveled to the Cularin System during the height of the Clone Wars, hoping to locate the polar opposite of the mysterious darkstaff. A swarthy man with straight black hair, Brin believed that everything that was created had an exact opposite, a theory that was based on the beliefs of the Jedi Order. Brin himself believed strongly in the Force, and felt that it helped him achieve his goals. Despite his outward bluster, Hesk'l was an exceptionally skilled explorer whose primary love was the gathering of knowledge, which he stored in a book called the Codex. He started his mission with an interview on Eye on Cularin with Ryk Osentay, then set out to begin his search. However, two weeks after the interview, Hesk'l's ship was found adrift in the comet cloud that surrounded Cularin. The ship was empty, and Hesk'l himself was never seen again.
