History
Early Life
He doesn't remember much. Just running, stealing, and barely scraping by. Their wasn't much time to dwell on it. It was just him and the streets. Selling whatever they found led him to Herman's pawn shop. With clear instructions to stay out of the back, and to tell him any interesting information they heard on the streets, he found himself a business partner. Eventually Herman started giving Taquein jobs with one of his acquaintances at a small construction guild. Memorizing layouts, taking tools and materials as they go, he would report back to Herman with what he learned about the buildings layout's and plans. Sure the construction sites were not properly maintained and lacked some proper equipment, but he would just keep his head down and get the job done if this is what it took to get by.
An Odd Encounter
It was odd seeing him for the first time. His head and antenna poking out of the top of the crowd. With off-white hair and bright red features that seemed to almost glow he stood out in the crowd. Walking up and taking his wallet was easy enough, he was oblivious and seemingly lost in the crowd. Opening it just to see it empty with only and ID labeled after the individual, Ae'Thir. Deciding to cut their losses they stopped him, leading him out of the crowd and returned the wallet. Giving him a warning about Chitara and to be more careful, they were suddenly asked their name to which they responded. Walking away they got one last look at the Nythera before leaving.
It was a while until they saw him again. They would just keep their distance watching. It was rare to see a Nythera so far from their home planet. They decided to keep their eye on him and keep him out of trouble. Stealing more objects to talk him, drawing other thieves away, and distracting scammers. They did what they could to help, even if they didn't know why they were inclined to help out.
The Deal
They continued on as normal. Stealing from others when needed, and taking extra materials from any construction sites they worked on. Reporting back to Herman with blueprints and spare parts. As they continued coming back, he kept asking for more. Entrances, exits, vents, cameras, any information that could be useful to him. With their supposedly stable job at the construction job given to them.There was a sense of debt, needing to payback Herman with information for getting them hired.
It hung over them, and Herman knew that. He eventually asked them to join him in the back of his shop. They didn't know what else to do but follow, it was against Herman's original rules, but it was a request they couldn't refuse.
In the back they found a small group of older Lerpertans and Carcids. Seeing Taquein enter, they all stared, sizing them up silently. They were seemingly the youngest in the room by a few years, everyone looked taller, leaner, and more experienced. A few more people filtered in, seemingly familiar with whatever was going on, giving a small nod to Herman as they stood around the edges of the room.
