Blitz Arcane:

Who is Blitz? No one is sure, but I think that I'm about to tell you is the closest to the truth anyone will ever get, cause you know as well as I do he isn't telling anyone. The story goes that Blitz Arcane isn't even his real name. He was born to an Imperial family, his father a Moff and his mother a proud Empire booster having dinner parties every other week at their mansion on Coruscant. it's even rumored an infant Blitz once rode around a Supreme Chancellor Palpatine through the rooms of his house like a bantha. At any rate, Blitz grew up and joined the Imperial Academy. His piloting skills were hardly matched by any of his instructors and he quickly became a squadron leader. He also met a lovely woman, married and had a child. His father beamed with pride at his son.

In the first few days of the true Rebellion, Blitz was witness to a horrific tragedy involving a
transport of refugees and something in his mind snapped. After a through debriefing, Blitz packed his bag and walked away from everything, his wife, his child, his family, The Family.....and then became the bounty hunter Blitz Arcane.

His first few missions lacked finess, lacked any real planning...the first time he tried to catch his bounty, Blitz ended up in worse shape than his bounty and spend much of the reward for healing. a few more missions, then he was a pro. He donned his trademark
trench coat and bought the double barrelled blaster rifle for it's look. One of his regulars asked him to join a small band to help rescue a derelict vessel. What he didn't tell the group was that a strange race of highly carnivorus aliens inhabited it, and Blitz was the only survivor...

Blitz was making a name for himself, and by this time, the first Death Star had fallen. Blitz did some gun running for the rebellion, and helped a group of Alliance commandos take over a small Imperial Prision. In this group was Blitz's half brother. It was interesting how they found each other. Blitz had found he had a knack for seeing attacks before they
happened, and furthered this new found skill. One night he had a dream of a swampy planet. In his sleep, he set the coordinates for Dagobah and awoke to find his vessel, a stock freighter called The Baneful deeply imbedding in the swamp. He freed himself to
find a short green alien giggling at the situation Blitz was in. The alien turned out to be a great Jedi master, and trained Blitz, and a masked student in the Jedi arts. The masked student was Blitz's half brother, and a member of the Alliance commandos Blitz was working for. Several weeks of training, and the brothers left together, as they did, they saw an X-Wing come crashing to the surface.

Mere days after returning to the Alliance, Blitz's brother was killed by an Imperial raid. Blitz then dedicated himself to the Alliance and became a commander. He helped several mission to success and was in the landing party at Endor that destroyed the shield generator.

Blitz's Jedi powers were growing daily, and he felt he was a true Jedi Knight. He had accumulated quite a great amount of wealth for himself, and invested most of it in a clone of himself he kept in storage and safe keeping for an emergency. Years later he would
need it.

After the fall of Thrawn, the Empire was in chaos untill a man came forth claiming to be the bastard son of Palpatine. The Empire ran every test they could to find this was true. The son took over the Empire and began experimenting with an imitation midichlorians. Not nearly as powerful as the real thing, but could any living being a Force user. Blitz was the Jedi mentor to a group of Republic commandos who's job it was to see an end to the Son of Palpatine. During a great battle, Blitz and another of the group were having a Jedi duel with Palpatine, when the building they were in was destroyed by fire. All thought the
two were lost when Blitz walked out of the flames with the very much alive Jedi in his arms. Blitz though, using the force, had kept himself alive long enough to get out, and layed next tot he jedi and died.

Luckily, Blitz's clone accepted his spirit and he returned to defeat Palpatine's army. Because of his bravery and self sacrafice, Blitz was promoted to General. Now, he feels he belongs somewhere. Having rescued a former Imperial Propaganda agent and turned her to the New Republic, he took Miranda as his wife. With the threat of the Vong invasion, will the child she carries inside her be born into a universe of disaster? Not if Blitz Arcane, bounty hunter, Jedi Knight, New Republic General, and soon to be father has anything to say about it.
