The estranged son of retired Republic Commando RC-1987, Agen Riko took the training his father bestowed and turned to a life as a mercenary and criminal. Fascinated by the exploits of his Clone Trooper "uncles" - who he feels his father betrayed during the Clone Wars - he often hides under the guise of being a Clone himself, although those with any reasonable knowledge of the Republic soldiers can usually tell the difference in his approach to missions. Agen was named for Jedi Master Agen Kolar, one of the Jedi taken by Mace Windu to fight the Crimson Nova bounty hunters during the Clone Wars. The same Jedi - ironically - also attempted to arrest Chancellor Palpatine just before the formation of the Galactic Empire.

Post-Reset

Born the son of a Clone Commando and a native woman on Ruhe, Agen has a number of issues that stretch beyond the mere complexities of his genetics.

Born only a year after his brother Saesee Riko, Agen slipped into the classic middle-sibling role of being the back-up while his father carefully honed the elder son into his successor. While Saesee recieved the finest equipment and armour that his father could manage to obtain, Agen was lumbered with the second-choice gear. Whenever they trained together, the older Saesee with an extra year of training and experience was held up as an example of perfection, while Agen was chastised for not being able to perform at the same level. True, the rigid discipline that their father imparted motivated Agen into becoming a formidable combattant, the resentment that grew between the two of them ultimately led to a total estrangement between father and son.

Agen Riko's patience finally snapped after twenty-one years on Ruhe, and he set out to find a life for himself that wasn't beneath the shadows of his father and brother. He started out as a petty hired thug, lending his crude interpretation of his father's teachings - tainted by his lack of discipline and patience - to whoever was willing to pay. As his career wore on and his earnings increased, so to did his standards. By age 26, Agen was able to be selective about the assignments he accepted, and could even actively seek out employment with some of the mose significant criminal cartels. Nearly three years after the Battle of Endor, Riko approached the Black Nebula crime organisation, in search of a more stable career.

A strange quirk of his father's particular brand of education: during their infancy, RC-1987 referred to his children as "Private", intended as a term of endearment: treating them as members of his Squad, and thus his military - and personal - responsibility. However, when he began to train Saesee, he felt the need to promote him so that he outranked his siblings; the same honourific rank of Lance Corporal was later applied to Agen. As the brothers reached maturity and became adults, RC-1987 promoted them further; as a result, despite having never served in an official military, Agen refers to himself as Corporal Riko.

Arms & Armour

Agen is facinated with the Clone Troopers, who he percieves as direct relatives of his father, and of himself. He has a sizeable collection of Clone equipment that he has obtained over the years. All marks associating the armour with ther Galactic Republic or Galactic Empire are either painted over or scrubbed out.

Usually, he completes missions in the AT-RT driver armour that his father provided for him during his training. The suit maintains most of the original design features that it would have during the war, including the portable sensor unit often carried by AT-RT drivers to help with the search for lifeforms and droids.

In situations where stealth and camauflage are not required to such a degree he often wears a suit of customised Phase II Armour, gathered from the best artifacts in his collection. Among other features, the armour includes helmet-mounted electrobinoculars, which can be flipped down over the standard vision-enhanced eyepieces for further enhancement and magnification. The suit also features limited pressurisation and a small atmospheric filter to help protect against toxic gases and sudden exposure to vacuum.

He also maintains a third suit of pressure-sealed Clone Pilot armour, which he uses for operations in low gravity, and when piloting craft such as his landspeeder. The suit has been modified beyond original specifications to include life support systems that will last for several hours, matching the capabilities of the suits worn by Imperial TIE Fighter pilots.

Transport around the galaxy is facilitated by an old Nu-class Attack Shuttle, dubbed the Celeres. Very little concession is made for comfort: the aft section has been heavily modified to carry a CK-6 Speeder, with the remainder of the space allocated to weapons and equipment storage. Agen uses the craft simply as a courier, and so requires very little personal space: he relies instead on the accomodations made available at mission locations.
