Chron Pic

Name: Chron Pic Homeworld: Mandalore Species: Human / Mandalorian Career: Bounty Hunter Affiliation: Independent Starship: Evil Heat (Lost)

Chron was a Mandalorian soldier who was highly active during the early years of the Empire. It is rumoured that he was a secret apprentice of the previous Mandalore. He is known to be a member of the prestigious Pic family who claim descent from the historical Mandalorian warlord Koran Pic.

Pic gained an early experience and reputation as an elite mercenary fighting with a small unit of fellow Mandalorians on behalf of the Imperial Navy. After ten years of loyal service, during which he was rewarded with the Imperial Star medal for bravery under fire, Chron somehow fell out with the Imperials under circumstances that remain obscure. Denied sanctuary by the Mandalore, who prioritised maintaining good relations with the Empire, Chron was sentenced to death. The sentence was never carried out, as according to an official report by the Imperial Navy, Pic perished during a starship crash on an isolated world in the Deep Core that obliterated his personal ship, the Evil Heat, and consumed him in the explosion.

Since then there have been rumours that Chron is still alive. Many have claimed to have heard from or even seen him on the Outer Rim, although he has also been connected to the Inner Rim world of Denon. Cantaina rumour says that he was allowed to fake his death after a last minute reprieve from the Mandalore, while others believe there is still a secret bounty on his head. Several mysterious assassinations and kidnappings in the Savarkar Sector have been connected to Pic, but this may simply be fringer speculation. He has been connected to the active Mandalorian bounty hunter Yrais Zu, who may be a pupil or ally of his.

Chron is a physically impressive man, tall, broad and dark skinned. He looks in his early 40s, but his close friends know that he is nearly sixty. Even though retired, he keeps in excellent physical shape. His torso is covered with tattoos that he claims he picked up while working with a crime family on Boz Pity.
