Pollux Brand

Pollux Brand is a former thug who is now one of the leaders of the Helix Syndicate.

History
Pollux Brand was born on Coruscant, one of the many forgotten living in the undercity of the planet. The son of a prostitute, the infant was abandoned at orphanage. He grew up fast, living a hard life on the streets. He got caught up in a bad crowd, working as a teenage thief and lookout for a local spice dealer.

The turning point in his life came when he was 17, when he was caught trying to steal some credits from a local tough. The man was a lookout for a illegal fighting pit being run by a local gang. In lieu of killing the boy, they forced him to participate in a fight. Instead of providing a few moments of entertainment by being ripped apart by a kath hound, he improbably beat the creature, impaling it with the bone from a prior victim it had killed and eaten. Brand was a big hit at the fighting pit that night, and made a lot of people a lot of money. The gang welcomed the boy with open arms into their ranks, calling him "The Kath Hound".

For almost the next twenty years, Brand ran with the same crew. People came and people went, but Brand stayed. Eventually, the young boy who inadvertantly joined the gang by killing a Kath Hound found himself the leader of the band of tough guys by virtue of outlasting nearly everyone else.

In 31 BBY, a Falleen by the name of Zeliz Sizhran approached him and made him an offer that he could not refuse. The Falleen was looking for an ally on Coruscant and felt that Pollux was his man. The gangster agreed, and the Helix Syndicate was born.
