Fer'ren Mal

"This? Ye shoulda seen the other guy!"

- Fer'ren Mal commenting on his missing eye.

Fer'ren Mal, aka Wrench, is the adoptive father of Rhianna Altayre.

History
Fer'ren Mal was born on Alderaan. At the age of 19, he killed an Imperial officer after the officer tried to force himself upon a young woman. He was sentenced to serve as slave on Kessel for the remainder of his life.

He spent the first 12 years in the mines surviving on instinct. He quickly became adept at detecting energy spiders, a talent that saved his life several times. During his time on Kessel, he earned the nickname "Wrench", since he was good at fixing things.

Fer'ren lost his left eye in a scrap with a fellow prisoner. When someone later inquired about the missing eye, Fer'ren merely commented: "This? Ye shoulda seen the other guy!"

Sometime around 5 BBY, Fer'ren stumbled across a young girl called Rhianna. He took it upon himself to raise her, and he always thought that he had done a pretty good job at it.

When Moruth Doole took control in 4 ABY, Fer'ren and Rhianna managed to escape Kessel onboard a fleeing cargo ship, and then jumped ship again at Nar Shaddaa. There, Fer'ren managed to appropriate a small workshop, which he used to provide a living for the next 13 years.

Skills
Fer'ren is an excellent mechnic, able to fix virtually anything. He's an average slicer, preferring to use his skills to repair computers and droids. He is also a decent pilot.

Because of his missing eye, Fer'ren has no depth perception, marring his accuracy with a blaster. As a result, he has taken to using a modified Arakyd ACP Scatter Gun, with a cut-down barrel. Though it is short-ranged, it is also extremely powerful and can cut a man in two. He usually carries it in a holster on his left leg.

Fer'ren speaks Basic and Huttese.
