Background History
Bensho Shundo was born on the planet of Corellia. Bensho would listen to the stories he heard from soldiers of the Galactic Republic, bounty hunters, and smugglers. Bensho was always fascinated by their tales of adventure, and dreamed of one day having adventures of his own. When Bensho was six traveled with his father who was a smuggler to various planets. One trip to the planet Columus lead to the death of his father. His father had been attempting to smuggle weapons to a group of bounty hunters who had hired him. While they were traveling towards their destination his father picked a fight with someone who had insulted him.
His father did not know he had picked a fight with a dangerous and violent bounty hunter, and was shot. He had not been killed because he was waiting at the ship at the time of his father's death. When he went to see what was taking his father so long he found his father's dead body and panicked. The ship was later stolen by someone who had been waiting for him to leave the ship. Bensho remained stranded until a bounty hunter found him. The bounty hunter decided to take him as his apprentice. He had no idea that this bounty hunter was the same bounty hunter that had killed his father.
He spent two years killing various targets that his master assigned him. One example would be a few low ranked generals of the republic, and spied on other bounty hunters to collect information. His methods of killing were usually simple at first but as his skills grew he learned better ways to take down his targets. At the age of twelve he had traveled with his master assisting him in killing more dangerous targets who would have more security then his normal hunts. The first mission involved killing a high ranking general. He had only helped in carrying his master's supplies, and made sure that the traps had been set.
The second job he had was finding a dangerous assassin and making sure that the assassin was no longer killing his customers. He helped by being a distraction while his master made the killing blow. He had failed his third job in which he had to kill a member of the Galactic Senate. His job was to stay hidden during an important meeting and kill his target. The problem was that he missed and blew his cover. This failure resulted in the death of his master, and the scar on his back.
He master was shot in the back when they were trying to escape. His master dropped a flash bomb that Bensho used distraction to escape capture. He hid himself by discarding and destroying the face mask that he had used during the job. He had done a few odd jobs of delivering weapons to various groups that had been hiding right under the republic’s nose. He had never found out that he was the apprentice of the bounty hunter who had killed his father. He had learned that their ship was taken as part of the investigation on the assignation attempt on one of the members of the Galactic Senate.
Bensho was unsure weather to continue his work as a bounty hunter, but decided that it was the better option then quitting the career he had worked hard to gain. He had stolen an Aurek tactical strikefighter and escaped to the planet Corellia. He did not attempt to visit his mother who probably thought he was dead anyway. There he served one of the Hutts as a personal bounty hunter and spy. The Hutts supplied him with weapons and supplies that they acquired through underhanded means. He had done more assassination jobs and a few smugglings for the Hutts.
Some of the jobs were killing smugglers who owed the hutts money, people who tried to cheat the hutts and assassins who were taking away his other customers by killing them or doing jobs for them. He kept a steady supply of weapons on hand for each job he takes. He gained his WESTAR-M5 blaster rifle from the hutts as a reward instead of a payment for completing his first job for them. He had become fully trained assassin at the age of eighteen, but would be still considered a rookie to the most dangerous bounty hunters.
