Ghesta and Rakhem are two of my characters in the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic

Ghesta is a Lethan (red skinned) Twi'lek.  Specifically bred for beauty and intelligence, she was born into slavery and knew nothing other than service until the day that a young bounty hunter / assassin killed her owner.  Having known no other life other than service, she joined the man who gave her freedom and followed him back to the Empire's homeworld of Drummond Kaas.  There she joined the imperial medical service, putting her intelligence to task and becoming a skilled healer before being recruited by the Imperial Intelligence.  Her skills, intellect, and beauty served her well as an imperial spy, and eventually she found her way back into the company of the man who saved her as a youth.

Rakhem was born in the slums of Coruscant, and even as a child rose in the ranks of a particularly violent gang.  His reputation as a brutal and efficient young man led him to the employ of one crime lord after another, till his sense of honor finally drove him to murder the crime lord and flee the republic all together.  Seeing the republic as a hypocritical lie, the facade of civilization, wealth, and prosperity that barely managed to hide it's internal corruption and filth, he felt much more comfortable working for the Sith Empire.  At least they were honest in their motivations, plus they paid well for his skills.  After one assassination job, he rescued a young teenage twi'lek named Ghesta.  He brought her to Drummond Kaas, and continued on with his career.  Growing to great personal renown as a bounty hunter who would take the most dangerous jobs, and complete them, if the price was right, Rakhem made his name inside the empire.  Several years later, he reconnected with the young woman that Ghesta had grown into and they formed a very deep and strong bond of friendship.  Her skills as a healer and spy complimented his blunt force approach perfectly.

Rumors abound about the exact nature of their relationship, though nothing has ever been seen between the two other than a deep bond of friendship and the synergy they bring on the battlefield.  Many an opponent of the empire has been focused on the power shield wielding and scarred bounty hunter in front of them, dodging shots from his blaster, and not noticing the hidden blade striking from the shadows that brings their last breath.  In any regard this duo has quickly become known as a force to be reckoned with, if you can afford their price.
