Li-Suun Niik



title: Li-Suun Niik

A male Human crime lord, Li-Suun Niik, plied his trade on Aargau, a planet renowned for its banking institutions.

Biography

The specifics of Niik's rise to power, and how he became the dominant criminal figure on the planet, were secrets he kept to himself. It remained a mystery whether he was originally from Aargau or came from another world, fueling speculation that his given name was merely an alias. His location was kept secret, and he only made appearances to individuals who had made a significant impression on him.

Niik's primary activities revolved around electronic theft and smuggling of valuable metals, such as gold. His criminal organization was built upon a relatively small, but loyal, group of individuals numbering in the hundreds, a modest size compared to galactic criminal empires. He made up for this by cultivating relationships with insiders at the Bank of Aargau, such as Captain Smalyun and Depositor Councilwoman Balazausa, and by hiring mercenaries from off-world when necessary.

It was widely suspected that he was the mastermind, or at least involved, in almost every major crime that occurred on the planet. His organization maintained its independence, refusing to cede control or share profits with entities like the Hutts or Black Sun. Niik also achieved the unique distinction of being the only person in Aargauun history to successfully steal over one hundred credits from the Bank of Aargau and avoid capture.

Unbeknownst to the majority of his operatives, including his most trusted advisors, Niik possessed Force sensitive abilities, which may have contributed to his sustained success over the years. It is unknown if Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader were aware of his connection to the Force during their visits to Aargau, but notably, he was left undisturbed without any negative consequences.

Powers and abilities

Through self-directed training, Niik gained proficiency in a range of Force powers, including Mind trick, Telekinesis, Force healing, Force speed, Force grip and Alter.

He demonstrated fluency in Ancient Aargauese, Basic, Binary, Huttese and the Sith.
